Modern HMI Architecture

How the HMI data model and dashboard structure connect current OEE losses to production events, improving traceability and decision-making for operations teams.

The HMI architecture was designed for use under pressure. Operators needed the current line state first, while managers needed a dependable route into the history behind it.

Design principles

  • Show decision-driving metrics first
  • Keep historical context one step away
  • Preserve traceability across events and line states

Data flow concept

  1. Capture line and event data continuously.
  2. Normalise key metrics into a shared model.
  3. Render focused views for operations and management.
  4. Provide historical drill-down for bottleneck analysis.

Why this layout works

It follows the real workflow: detect issues quickly, confirm root causes with context, and coordinate action without opening multiple disconnected tools.
