10. A New Generation of User Friendly HMI

11. Question: Why
Multi-Touch HMI?

12. Why Have Multi-Touch Interaction in
Industry?
 Two handed operation for safety reasons during machine
calibration or service and maintenance
 Production costs reduced by improved machine usability
 Better machine serviceability
and maintenance support
 Integration of quality
management and statistical
process control require multiple
user senarios
 Flexibility in screen size

13. What are the Applications for
Multi-Touch HMI?
 CNC and tooling machines
 Textile, weaving and knitting machines
 Imaging and signal analysis systems
 Quality management system
 SCADA clients in factory automation

14. Question: What Are the Benefits
and Possible Issues of
Widescreen Multi-Touch HMI?
