Modernisation of Visualisation: Future-proofing your visualisation platforms made easy.
Overview
Human Machine Interface is changing
Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) is constantly improving and has undergone significant changes and advancement over the years. The innovations driven by a focus on user-friendliness, connectivity, data visualisation, and adaptability to changing technological landscapes aimed to help businesses improve operational efficiency, decision-making, and the overall user experience in various industries.
As many advanced technologies are developed and introduced to the market, new products and innovations can always supersede your current system. Siemens recently released its latest HMI technology, the WinCC Unified System powered with advanced features and capabilities prompting many businesses to upgrade and modernise their visualisation platforms – to further optimise their operations, and enhance their competitive advantage.

The Siemens SIMATIC WinCC Unified System Advantage
Delivering beneficial outcomes for a successful and future-proof visualisation platforms.
Improved operational efficiency
Visualisation allows operators and managers to monitor the factory’s processes, machines, and systems in real-time. By highlighting bottlenecks, underutilised resources, and areas for improvement. This immediate insight can help identify issues, inefficiencies, and potential disruptions as they occur, allowing for timely corrective actions leading to increased production efficiency and resource utilisation.
Better quality control and process optimisation
Visualisation tools can help track product quality and detect defects in real-time, ensuring that only high-quality products are dispatched to customers. By also revealing the areas of the production process that can be fine-tuned or streamlined, improved visualisation can lead to cost savings and better resource allocation.
Enhanced situational awareness
Advanced interface enables clear and intuitive representation of the factory’s status, historical data visualisation tools which allows easy analysis of trends, patterns, and historical performance significantly improving situational awareness and decision-making. This can help operators respond to changing conditions effectively for process optimisation and long-term planning.
Shorter engineering time and reduced downtime
Improved visualisation enables promptly identifying maintenance issues that can be addressed proactively, reducing unexpected downtime and costly disruptions to production while saving valuable engineering time.
Enabling sustainability strategies
Improved visualisation enables efficient monitoring of energy consumption and visualising usage patterns helping businesses achieve their sustainability goals.
Increased safety and remote accessibility
Remote access capabilities enable off-site personnel to monitor and control the factory, which can be especially useful for troubleshooting, support and ensure safety for human workforce particularly in unsuitable environment conditions.
Reduced training requirements
Standardised operating concepts, flexibility and user-friendly attributes enable shorter training time and fewer human errors.
