HMI Controlled Systems

In general touch screens or HMI (human machine interface) are fitted to the more complex type of machinery where the operator or technicians need information on the machine cycle progress, process information or immediate fault diagnostics.

HMI can be instrumental in reducing machine down time by clearly displaying any faults and the corrective actions required to get the machine back into production in the shortest possible time.

Gainsborough can supply, install and programme the HMI of your choice on new equipment or we can fit an HMI upgrade to existing equipment to possibly increase machine efficiency and reduce down time etc.
