HMI-Technologie Improving HMI Design Through Mixed Technology EAO offers a mixed technology approach for developing HMI systems for semiconductor and electronics production. This typically uses a base set of electromechanical components or a more complex integration of keyboard, display, touchscreen and industrial PC, depending on the required functional sophistication and level of visualisation. The flexible approach to using technology offers customers a real competitive edge. Typical interfaces designed by EAO include: ■■ Primary control panels using discrete switches for system start-up and...

Application Engineering Providing Efficient, Safe Control Over Complex Processes Semiconductor and electronics production is one of the most demanding manufacturing environments. 1500 diverse processing steps are typical for chip manufacturing from start to finish. Many are carried out with microscopic precision in an environment that’s 100,000 times cleaner than a typical operating theatre. It is therefore critical that HMIs are well designed, efficient and safe for users. EAO achieves this by: ■■ Adherence to relevant semiconductor equipment design standards for panel layout, colour schemes,...

The EAO Configurable HMI Panel allows customers to quickly, easily, and inexpensively bring industrial PC control to their equipment. It incorporates durable membrane buttons, an integrated LCD display, a resistive touchscreen, and a variety of discrete pushbutton and electromechanical controls. The layout can be fully customised.
