As a hardware engineer or OEM, you are easily inclined to opt for standard touch displays and panel PCs to realize a human-machine interface. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that added value is created precisely when you do not start from a standard design for HMIs, but choose custom solutions instead. This added value arises when you take the actual usage situation and environmental influences as the starting point.
This presentation shows how the transition from supply-oriented to application-oriented development leads to fit-for-purpose automation hardware that is practical, scalable, future-proof, and cost-effective, even for small-scale series production. They discuss how factors such as component structure, mechanical integration, environmental conditions, and supply reliability determine the design of modern and future-proof automation hardware.
The common thread is co-creation within the OEM chain.. Early collaboration based on a practical mindset results in functional, sustainable, and reliable solutions. When manufacturing companies and their suppliers develop industrial hardware with this mindset, the result is not a collection of components in a housing, but a logical solution derived from practical experience and supported by proven results and targeted innovation.
