The industrial sector requires real-time visibility and control over key operations to enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain safe operations. A high-performing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is the backbone of this ecosystem, providing operators with a centralized view of industrial processes. However, many traditional HMI solutions have limitations that hinder scalability, integration, and efficiency.
As the industrial landscape evolves, companies need scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions to support their digital transformation goals. AVEVA InTouch Unlimited is the ultimate solution that offers a next-generation HMI experience designed to break traditional constraints and empower industrial teams.

Common Challenges with Traditional HMI Systems

1. Licensing Constraints: Scalability Challenges

• Higher costs associated with system expansion, as adding more tags or users often requires additional licensing.
• Fragmented system architectures, where teams must deploy multiple HMI instances instead of maintaining a unified solution.
• Restricted scalability, making it difficult to adapt and evolve as industrial operations grow and require more connectivity.

2. System Reliability: Ensuring Maximum Uptime
Industrial environments demand high system reliability to prevent costly downtime. Many HMI solutions lack built-in redundancy, meaning a failure in the system could lead to operational disruptions, lost production time, and safety risks. A robust HMI should incorporate failover mechanisms and high availability architectures to ensure uninterrupted operations.

3. Data Utilization: Unlocking Actionable Insights
Data is at the heart of industrial decision-making, but raw data can be overwhelming and underutilized. Companies need an HMI solution that seamlessly integrates with a historian to capture, store, and analyze process data, enabling predictive maintenance, operational optimization, and compliance reporting.
