Open HMI Solutions

The world market for operator terminals was estimated to have been worth just over $1.5 billion in 2005. The total market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% to $2.3 billion in 2011. Open operator terminals are projected to have the fastest growing revenues and unit shipments over the forecast period 2006 to 2011, with CAGR’s of 10.5% and 12.7% respectively. The worldwide touchscreen operator terminal market represented nearly 70% of total worldwide revenues in 2005, with this percentage set to increase slightly over the forecast period.

Open HMI operates with a scalable (and open) operating system (providing standard file formats, interfaces and communications) and can provide some PC-based functionality, such as increased information processing. These are diskless and fanless products that offer advanced functionality over traditional HMI products with improved data handling and standard interfaces and communications.

Led by the flourishing PC-based technology market, open HMI devices not only provide interactive, vivid displays for operators & supervisors, but also Ethernet networking, high performance computing, and open expan- sion capabilities. Open HMI devices are replacing traditional operator terminals by offering complete, intelligent HMI/SCADA platforms.
