HMI software for machine tools and instruments
Today’s machines are more complex than ever, integrating a multitude of functions, automated systems and market technologies. To master this complexity, manufacturers need well-designed HMI software to enable users to easily manage these systems, guaranteeing both productivity and safety. We are experts in the creation of HMI software connected to a CNC, PLC (controller) or embedded system. From needs analysis to commissioning, our specialists are at your service to help you exploit the full potential of your production resources with a reliable, scalable and modern application.
Our HMIs are a skilful blend of automation, industrial IT and specific industry know-how. In addition to equipment control, we are now asked to provide a wide range of intelligent functions, such as energy management or predictive maintenance, as well as step-by-step guides and instructions to facilitate configuration, customization and day-to-day operation. We also provide access management (by user account), version management, updates and traceability of actions to ensure compliance with current and future cybersecurity regulations.

Closed-loop manufacturing
Closed-loop manufacturing is a concept with great industrial potential. It incorporates a continuous feedback system that enables production processes to be constantly adjusted and improved. By collecting real-time data on machine performance and product quality, the system can automatically correct any anomalies, guaranteeing consistent quality and maximum efficiency.
Our team is experienced in implementing closed-loop manufacturing solutions. We work closely with you to understand your specific needs and integrate systems that improve not only quality and efficiency, but also the overall production experience. This type of solution enables you to move into the future of industrial manufacturing, with an intelligent, high-performance controller driving end-to-end workflow operation.
USE CASES
- Quality improvement
- Increased productivity
- Stand-alone machine
Machine vision – surface, machining and printing
With conventional machine vision, it is already possible to cover a wide range of applications, typically metrological and dimensional inspection. However, in some areas, the technical limits have been reached and it is sometimes complex to describe the elements to be controlled using traditional approaches.
To push back this limit, we have developed expertise in Deep Learning (AI) vision, and our experts are at your disposal to demonstrate the power of this new technology. We handle cases such as the detection of surface defects, the reading of prints or markings, and vision-assisted machining to improve precision.
KEY WORDS
- OCR – Serial number reading
- Aesthetic control
- Counting
