New HMI-concept iX helps to save engineering costs
Engineering is a crucial aspect in today’s cost equation. A reduced time to market as a result of efficient project development gives innovative companies a competitive edge.
In iX, the new HMI-concept from Beijer Electronics, no barriers exist between design and engineering. The user creates and configures HMI solutions in a streamlined user-friendly Windows environment with ribbon tabs, tool tips and an intuitive work approach – all of which leads to efficient project development.
With the iX object browser he has superior control of objects while designing screens. The properties of any screen or object can be viewed or edited in the property grid. He creates uniform corporate screens and objects with time saving templates and reuse them as often as he want. Even more efficient is the method using quick styles, where it is simply to adjust the object style with shape fill and outline, drop shadow and bevel settings, etc.
With multiple objects editing it’s easy to modify common properties such as background color, font, security settings, tag, etc. for a group of objects at the same time. The navigation manager gives a clear overview of all screens and templates, and their interconnection. The user simulates his HMI application before applying it to the machine, even without connecting the controller system.
With iX every user enjoy the time-saving ease of versatile editing tools and benefit from templates and quick styles. It offers creating professional HMI solutions with the look and feel which is requested by the end users. State-of-the art graphics and solid HMI functionality is a winning combination with essential synergies. In HMI solutions, the design attracts and keeps the operator's attention, while the functionality develops and keeps the operator's trust. The user adopts the comprehensive HMI functionality in iX to increase productivity and customer acceptance.
