HMI

ARBOR’s HMIs (Human Machine Interface) are equipped with long lasting industrial displays featuring brilliant resolution and rugged design. The devices are engineered to meet the increasingly complex industrial process. HMI applications require mechanical robustness and resistance to water, dust, moisture, a wide range of temperatures, voltage and, in some environments, secure communication. ARBOR’s HMI Series is comprehensive and meets even the most demanding requirements in process visualization. By using open and standardized interfaces, the HMI allows efficient integration into any automation application.

For example a textile factory could select ARBOR’s ASLAN-W1022C to be HMI system in their factory.

ASLAN Series

Industrial-grade Widescreen Panel PCs for Monitoring and Controlling Automotive Production Lines

Nowadays enterprises must evolve continually to respond to the increasing challenges and complexity in production environments where manufacturing processes are automated and robotic to manage tasks more efficiently. Driven by the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things, it is becoming vitally important for factories to transform legacy systems and production lines to realize the vision of the “Smart Factory”. The smart factory allows direct data stream collection and communication between machinery and other facilities, in addition to real-time monitor and control operation flow to create a faster, error-free and collaborative manufacturing process.

The ARBOR ASLAN Widescreen Panel PC Series presents a comprehensive solution and perfect fit for the Smart Factory vision by supporting these processes and assisting in improving overall operational management efficiency and productivity.
