The Product
Thinvent’s Human Machine Interface (HMIs) are ruggedised computers meant to function on factory floors. These machines automate the process of tracking production processes including manufacturing, inventory management, flow of production directly from the factory floors. These sophisticated tablets are are energy efficient, rugged, cost optimized, tropicalised, and devoid of any moving parts.
The Need
The HMI devices allow the management to track the process of manufacturing. The computing device is usually accessorized with a tracking functionality like a barcode scanner attached to it. HMI can be mounted on the walls at several locations across the factory. The the application sends the tracked information, to the central server where the management can track the production progress, efficiency and production bottlenecks. This information is integrated into the SAP ERP backend of the customer, reducing manual entry of production information, and enabling BI reporting of production processes.
The Features
It comes with a 10.1″ sensitive touch screen interface. The LED screen screen delivers vibrant colors. It has a 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM and upto 32 GB of disk space. Wireless connectivity eliminates need to layout wires in already messy industrial environments. The machine runs on, Thinux, a stable embedded linux developed in-house for this device. The Thinux platform provides a stable environment to develop several industry specific applications.
The advanced heat sink technology ensures a complete absence of moving parts. The device therefore has very little power requirement. It works on as low as 15 W of power, and in erratic power ranging from 90 to 240 V. The lack of moving parts also ensures low mechanical breakdowns, high heat and dust resistance, and longer durability. It provides ease of use, elegance and energy conservation.
The Bottomline
We offer a a solid computer that can be grouted to the wall, consumes very little power, and lasted long in harsh environments of factory floors and track and automate production processes.
