Our HMI panels: an overview at last
Manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex. A large number of components have to be harmonised with each other. At the same time, it is important to keep an eye on all safety standards during production. With the HMI panel from Nextion, you can visualise all relevant processes clearly and in real time. And it is not only the control of the work process that is possible with our touch panel. The HMI display also allows you to control the technical interaction in an intuitive way with a clear graphical representation.
The HMI panel: communication is everything
HMI is nothing new. Every technical communication between man and machine is HMI. For example, the dashboards and displays in a car that give you reliable feedback on speed, operating temperature, tyre pressure, etc. HMI in an industrial environment has to adapt to very special conditions. Nextion develops every HMI panel in close interaction with business practice. This technology is robust, space-saving, clear and easy to programme and operate for every user. This takes the control and monitoring of work/production processes to a new level of efficiency. No more bulky desktop computers that take up unnecessary space with their mouse/keyboard controls and are easily damaged in industrial environments. Our human-machine interface touchscreen can be integrated into any workstation and can withstand a wide range of operating temperatures.
HMI touch screen: The advantages in general
- Increased operational reliability
- better understanding of data through visualisation
- Greater flexibility in monitoring, control and diagnostics
- Increased cost savings through early detection of potential downtimes
- More flexible response to environmental influences and therefore greater efficiency
Our HMI panel portfolio makes integration particularly easy
The developers of our HMI touch screen products consistently follow the motto: the simpler, the better. That is why we have included these products in our portfolio, because one of our guiding principles is "The joy of progress". We serve this goal by providing you with innovations that make your technical processes easier to understand and use. Here are a few arguments in favour of our displays:
- Simple, clear visualisation of all monitoring and control elements
- Real-time data feedback
- Fast development of the graphical user interface
- Only one TTL serial interface for communication with the peripheral MCU - no cable clutter
- 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer for the availability of all series products
Our HMI displays with LVGL support
In addition to the proven Nextion panels, we also offer a variety of displays from Elecrow that are compatible with the popular open source library LVGL (Light and Versatile Graphics Library). LVGL is a widely used and powerful library for GUIs (embedded graphical user interfaces). It can be used to create customisable and high-performance user interfaces - ideal for embedded systems.
With LVGL, you not only have access to a flexible and extensible library, but also benefit from modern development tools such as SquareLine. SquareLine is a visual drag-and-drop editor for LVGL that significantly speeds up and simplifies the development process of your user interface. SquareLine is intuitive to use, so you can turn your GUI requirements into a user-friendly design in no time at all.
Our HMI panels and displays provide complete solutions
We offer you complete solutions: Our HMI combines an integrated processor with the user-friendly memory touch panel and sophisticated editor software that supports you in the development of your HMI GUI projects. Simply drag and drop all relevant components such as graphics, text and buttons. We provide you with ASCII text-based instructions for coding the interaction of components. This enables every user to achieve satisfactory HMI panel integration without any set-up effort.
Frequently asked questions about HMI panels and HMI displays
EXPTech has been a distributor of innovative technology since 2010. Our aim is to provide and communicate digital technology that simplifies learning and production processes - "the joy of progress". That is why we are happy to help you with any questions you may have.
What is special about our HMI panels?
The simplicity. The intuitive operation of the system, which can be learnt quickly, its well-coordinated interaction, the comprehensible coding instructions.
What display sizes are available?
The touchscreen is available in the inch sizes 2.4; 2.8; 3.2; 3.5; 4.3; 5.0; 7.0; 10.1.
Where can an HMI touchscreen do useful work?
Looking at complex organisational and production processes, it would be better to ask: where not? Here are some sectors in which displays have become indispensable:
- industrial manufacturing
- automotive industry
- medical technology
- Transport technology
- Food/beverage industry
- educational institutions
Does ExpTech also offer accessories?
Our goal is the user-friendly, simple integration of systems. That's why we emphasise completeness. Supplement your HMI panel with loudspeakers or a converter board for the USB output, for example. We offer power supply units, connectors, platforms such as the Arduino microcontroller board and much more.
