Industrial App enables mobile HMI
1. May 2017 – Success Stories
In times of Industry 4.0 and digitalization, the requirements for concepts for operating and monitoring machines and systems are changing. Mobile human machine interfaces (HMI) are finding their way into the industrial environment. For these, Monkey Works offers a development environment to easily and quickly generate apps for various end devices. To enable the HMIs to communicate directly with Siemens controllers, the company has integrated the "ACCON-AGLink" communication library from Delta Logic into its HMI Suite.
