HMI and visualization solutions empower users to efficiently monitor and control complex processes and operations. Such solutions cover a very broad spectrum, including:

SCADA and process control systems
Systems for operating and monitoring machines and plants
Mobile apps and websites for monitoring and operating devices
Tools for the configuration of HMIs and interfaces (HMI editors)
User interfaces / HMIs of devices

Visualization solutions have to meet high requirements: they should have fast response times, ideally be usable on any end device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) and, in particular, be simple, user-friendly and intuitive to operate (usability).

In addition to technical plant displays in 2D and 3D, integrated functions for the representation of real-time and trends are playing an increasingly important role. Customizable dashboards, user-defined reports with intelligent drill-down functionality, and interactive trend analysis tools are now standard.

Spotlight on Developments and Trends

The development of an HMI and visualization solution involves different architectures (if necessary in combination) depending on the area of application. With many years of experience and many successfully implemented visualization projects, we define the right architecture for your solution in cooperation with you and based on your specific requirements. We also keep an eye on new developments and trends - this ensures security for the future! By using third-party components, preferably also open-source components (e.g., in the area of 3D visualization), as well as the use of graphics libraries, the development effort is significantly reduced. At the same time, we rely on common industry standards such as OPC UA for data connection to ensure high flexibility and interoperability.

Our solutions Meet the Highest Standards of Design and Usability

Not only do you benefit from our expertise in all relevant technologies, platforms and frameworks during the implementation of your project, but we also ensure that the user interface fulfills the highest standards of design and usability. Therefore, when implementing visualization solutions, we take into account common standards and norms such as human-centered design of interactive systems (ISO 9241-210) and dialog design (ISO 9241-110) as well as industry-specific guidelines. All this ensures that your solution will gain the necessary acceptance from the user and that he or she will be able to do his or her work efficiently and successfully.

Visualization and analysis of energy data in the smart grid

The world of energy is changing: whether through photovoltaic systems on rooftops, solar parks or wind turbines. In the past, energy was mostly centralized, e.g. produced in a power plant and delivered from there constantly to the consumer. Today, energy is being generated more and more decentralized by the consumers themselves and the surplus stored in the grid.

Machine Data Collection

In both process and factory automation, the flow of data from the various areas of a plant constantly increases. This data needs to be stored and analyzed safely and quickly. Together with the company SCHMIDT® we have developed a software solution that is specifically designed for this purpose.

Process Control System

A clear graphical representation of processes is of vital importance in the operation of modern ocean-going vessels. M&M developed the Mimic Editor for Kongsberg Maritime, a manufacturer of system solutions for Subsea, Mercant Marine and Offshore. It visualizes the monitoring systems and automation components of a vessel.
