Human Machine Interfaces – HMI

Within the field of user interfaces and display technology for monitoring and control, Mulder-Hardenberg offers a wide range of solutions. Depending on the specific application and project requirements, Mulder-Hardenberg provides customers with advice. Mulder-Hardenberg views an HMI as a fully assembled system with a display, keyboard, pointing devices (mouse/trackpad/etc.) and intelligence, such as:

1. External PCs / IPCs (Industrial PCs)
2. Integrated PCs – Panel PCs
3. KVM extensions – devices that increase the distance between keyboard and mouse and a computer.

In addition, individual components, installation, maintenance and other services are widely available.

Displays – Monitors – Screens

Mulder-Hardenberg supplies an extensive range of displays suitable for heavy-duty use in industry, defense, maritime, etc. The screens are in many cases provided with robust constructions, are resistant to prolonged and severe vibrations and offer excellent readability in all circumstances.

Mulder-Hardenberg also offers innovative solutions for use in transport and retail. In view of the markets in which Mulder-Hardenberg is active, in addition to quality, continuity and long-term serviceability are always central.

Panel PCs

Panel PCs, as an integral part of a modular platform with different components, offer a wide range of application possibilities. Mulder-Hardenberg’s experts are ready to provide advice on the configuration that best suits the specific application. Even for environments with explosion and fire hazards (Ex/ATEX zone) we offer suitable solutions. Although Panel PCs are often used in industry, they also provide significant added value in sectors such as retail and mobile workplaces.

Keyboards and pointing devices

Mulder-Hardenberg recommends high-quality products for applications in (heavy) industry, maritime and defense NSI keyboard / NSI keyboards, NSI trackballs, NSI trackpads, NSI mice, NSI joysticks and NSI touchpads. Push buttons or emergency switches are often used in robust construction panels with gaskets and wire rings for mounting. If desired, there are possibilities to make the peripheral equipment corrosion-free and watertight. In many cases customization is possible.

For applications in the (bio)chemical, food industrial, pharmaceutical and medical markets, Mulder-Hardenberg recommends high-quality, hygiene-friendly NSI keyboards, trackballs, trackpads, mice, joysticks and touchpads. Easy to clean, no hidden areas where dirt residues can accumulate. IP ratings: Class IP55 – splashproof, IP65 – dustproof and water jet resistant, IP66 – waterproof and dustproof, IP67 – waterproof and dustproof.

HMI solutions:

• Displays for heavy-duty use
• Modular panel PCs for demanding user environments
• High quality industrial NSI keyboards and pointing devices
• Specialist advice to, among other things, comply with legislation and regulations
• Numerous custom variations possible.

Because the lifespan of a machine can be many years, an HMI must be reliable over a long period of time.
