A manufacturing company was facing increasing demands for higher efficiency and more intelligent machine interfaces. Their existing HMI systems, built on outdated architecture, struggled to keep up with modern industrial automation requirements. Slow response times, limited connectivity, and security vulnerabilities created inefficiencies on the production floor, impacting overall output.
Looking for a solution that could handle real-time processing, advanced AI capabilities, and flexible connectivity options, the company integrated VIA Intelligent Edge Solutions, powered by MediaTek Genio processors, into their next-generation HMIs.
AI-Driven Performance and Real-Time Responsiveness
By leveraging this platform, their HMIs responded faster, offering instant feedback and seamless control over complex machinery. The powerful computing capabilities of the MediaTek Genio architecture allowed them to integrate AI-driven predictive maintenance, reducing unexpected downtime and improving operational continuity. Operators could now interact with machines more intuitively, with real-time data visualization and adaptive controls that adjusted to workflow demands.
Extensive Connectivity for Seamless Integration
The solution also provided extensive connectivity options, supporting a wide range of industrial interfaces, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and serial communication protocols. This flexibility enabled seamless integration with existing factory networks and IoT ecosystems, facilitating real-time data exchange and remote diagnostics. Whether deployed in standalone machines or large-scale automated production lines, the system ensured stable and reliable connectivity across all operational environments.
Another key advantage was its compatibility with a variety of display configurations, including uncommon screen sizes and specialized resolutions required for industrial applications. From compact touch panels in compact spaces to ultra-wide displays for control room dashboards, the platform supported high-quality graphics and customizable UI layouts, ensuring optimal user experience regardless of screen format.
Strengthening Security in Industrial Environments
Security was another critical factor. The new system incorporated AI-driven access control, allowing only authorized personnel to interact with specific HMIs based on facial recognition or verification of proper personal protective equipment (PPE). This ensured that only trained employees could operate critical machinery, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or human error. Additionally, the system provided real-time monitoring to verify compliance with safety protocols, preventing machines from being accessed unless workers met the necessary safety requirements.
Transformation in Action
As a result, the company transformed its industrial HMIs into intelligent, efficient, and secure interfaces that could adapt to the demands of modern manufacturing. Faster processing speeds, AI-driven automation, strong security measures, and expanded connectivity options enabled them to improve productivity while maintaining a high level of reliability across their operations.
