Industrial HMIs – Touchscreen Interfaces for Automation Control

By DANIEL GOMES April 24, 2025

HMI – Human Machine Interface Solutions for Industrial Control

Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are essential for efficient, real-time interaction between operators and automated systems. Whether on the factory floor or in a control room, HMIs provide intuitive visual feedback, data input, and system diagnostics to keep industrial operations running smoothly.

At PLCpartssolution, we supply a wide range of HMI panels from trusted brands like Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Weintek, Delta, and Pro-Face, with verified stock and fast global shipping. Whether you're building a new machine or modernizing an existing line, we have the right HMI to meet your needs.


What is an HMI (Human Machine Interface)?

An HMI is the interface through which a human operator interacts with a machine, controller, or automated system. It typically includes a touchscreen or display panel and allows users to monitor performance, trigger commands, receive alarms, and adjust parameters in real time.

These devices are widely used in:

  • Factory Automation

  • Packaging and Processing Lines

  • Building Management Systems

  • Energy and Utility Control

  • Transportation Systems


Key Features of Industrial HMIs

  • Touchscreen Displays – From compact 4” panels to large 19” widescreens

  • EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and PROFINET Connectivity

  • Compatibility with PLCs and SCADA Systems

  • Multi-language Support and Customizable Interfaces

  • Industrial-grade Durability for Harsh Environments

  • Wide Operating Temperature Range

  • Remote Monitoring and Data Logging Capabilities


Popular HMI Brands We Offer

We stock new and surplus HMI panels from leading global manufacturers, including:

  • Allen-Bradley PanelView Plus / 5000 / 800

  • Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort and Basic Panels

  • Weintek MT Series

  • Delta DOP Series

  • Pro-Face GP Series

  • Mitsubishi GOT Series

  • Omron NB and NS Series


Benefits of Using HMIs in Automation

  • Increased Productivity – Faster interaction and control

  • Real-Time Monitoring – Instantly view alarms, metrics, and trends

  • Simplified Control – User-friendly interfaces reduce operator errors

  • Reduced Downtime – Faster troubleshooting and diagnostics

  • Centralized Data – Integrates data from PLCs and sensors into one dashboard


Frequently Asked Questions About HMIs

What’s the difference between an HMI and a SCADA system?
An HMI allows local machine-level control, while a SCADA system manages and monitors multiple systems over a network.

Do HMIs work with all PLC brands?
Most modern HMIs support multiple communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, Modbus, PROFINET) and are compatible with a wide range of PLCs.

Can I program my HMI with my existing software?
Yes. Most HMI brands provide their own programming environments (e.g., FactoryTalk View for Allen-Bradley, TIA Portal for Siemens).

Are HMIs suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Many industrial HMIs come with high IP ratings (IP65/IP67) and are built to withstand extreme temperatures and moisture.

Do you have HMIs in stock?
Yes. PLCpartssolution maintains a verified inventory of HMIs ready to ship globally.

Do you ship internationally?
Absolutely. We ship worldwide from our U.S.-based warehouse, ensuring fast and secure delivery.
