Industrial Controls And Factory Automation HMI Panel
Date: 6/15/2015 AIS Introduces Industry 4.0 Ready, Industrial Controls and Factory Automation HMI Touch-Panels, for Easy Visual, Control and Monitoring in Discrete and Process Automation Industries AIS’s M2M & Industry 4.0 HMI Panels for Industrial Control System (ICS), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Integrated Manufacturing System and Machine Vision Systems Applications The family includes their new line of Smart HMIs: the Premium, Standard and Compact Series of HMIs. While the Compact Series is an integrated all-in-one HMI touch-panel designed for simple discrete machine control, process manufacturers have a wide range of options to choose from based upon their specific SCADA application needs – which will probably dictate selecting the Premium or Standard Series of Smart Factory HMIs. For Industrial IoT technologies and Smart applications, the Premium and Standard offer high-speed processing, scalability and large storage options necessary for Big Data analytics and OT and IT convergence. AIS’s New Factory Automation HMI Touch Panels are Designed Specifically for Industrial Control and Monitoring Systems for Both Process & Discrete Automation AIS’s Premium Series Intelligent Touch Panel HMIs are Ideal for Complex SCADA Control in Process Applications; While Their Compact Models are Suitable for Discrete Machine Control While many industries overlap or use both Process and Discrete control and monitoring solutions in their plant operations, some industries are predominantly process or discrete. Generally process automation, control and monitoring applications prefer AIS’s Intelligent, M2M HMIs, commonly employed in process industries such as: Chemical Manufacturing, Pulp & Paper, Water & Waste Water Treatment, Pharmaceutical, Food, Oil & Gas, Glass & Solar; while some popular discrete applications are more commonly found in Automotive plants, various Packaging machinery operations and Transportation equipment. AIS Intelligent & Open HMIs Are Equipped to Serve the Evolving Demands of Discrete & Process Control in Factory and Industrial Automation Environments AIS’s Intelligent, M2M control, monitoring and visualization factory automation HMIs are open architecture design; equipped with the features, functionality and versatility to support and enable these new requirements in process and discrete automation applications. They offer many powerful features that will leverage the expected growth and future opportunities in the process and discrete automation market.

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – June 15, 2015 – American Industrial Systems, Inc. (AIS) the leader in open architecture, Web-based HMI touch panels, Industrial panel PCs (IPCs), HMI Systems and touch-screen interfaces for a broad range of industrial, commercial and manufacturing industries, offers a new family of Industrial Controls and Factory Automation HMI Touch-Panels. These new controls and factory touch panels enable Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications in discrete and process control industries. The new family of Industry 4.0 ready, industrial controls and factory automation touch-panels from AIS offer three different series to choose from depending on their application requirements. They are suitable for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Integrated Manufacturing System, Machine Vision Systems applications and more.
Discrete and Process control applications typically possess different control and monitoring requirements. Process industries mainly employ manufacturing operations that convert highly variable raw materials into consistent quality finished goods. Process manufacturers require a high degree of automation, monitoring and advanced control. Utilizing high degrees of automation, process manufacturers are moving beyond individual plan acquisition of time series from the plant floor to the acquisition of data from multiple plant sources and performance analysis. AIS industrial controls and factory automation touch-panels along with SCADA software help support these complex needs to be able to quickly make informed decisions relating to remote plant and enterprise operations.
Discrete applications emphasize the assembly of high quality engineered components or sub-assemblies into more valuable final equipment manufactured by OEMs. Discrete manufacturing companies are less automated, and prioritize basic visibility into manufacturing, specifically into key performance indicators, finances and data from production assets. Industrial control and monitoring factory automation touch-panels such as AIS’s Compact units offer the affordability and simplicity for OEM machine control, yet still provide the same open architecture design and functionality common across their entire family of Smart HMIs from AIS.
Many factors are driving growth in the process and discrete segments of factory automation market today. These factors are forcing industrial plants and facilities to consider and utilize new browser-based, open platform, control and monitoring automation systems such AIS’s family of industrial control and factory automation touch panel HMIs to solve complex business requirements. Some of the key factors include:
