Why Interface & HMI Solutions Matter

Modern industrial operations rely on constant interaction between systems and people – but traditional HMIs often fall short:

  • Locked into rigid vendor solutions (Siemens, Honeywell, etc.)
  • Poor fit for custom workflows and localized safety needs
  • Outdated UX, slow response times, and limited mobile access

 

The result? Inefficient monitoring, higher risk of error, and reduced situational awareness.

At InStandart, we build custom HMI panels and real-time interfaces tailored to your plant, platform, or facility – designed around your equipment logic and operational workflows.

Our Expertise

Custom HMI Panels

Custom-built HMIs to replace costly OEM systems (e.g. Siemens, Honeywell, Rockwell)
Touch-optimized UIs for control rooms, tablets, or field terminals
Multi-role layouts: separate dashboards for operators, engineers, and maintenance staff
Industry-specific designs for Oil & Gas, Utilities, Process Manufacturing, and Simulation Labs
Support for multi-language interfaces, color-blind accessible palettes, and safety-focused UI logic

Interface Layer Development

Create middleware between CAD/BIM models and SCADA/PLC systems
Build custom API connectors to link diverse systems (e.g. Siemens WinCC ↔ Honeywell Experion)
Translate P&ID logic or Revit family attributes into interactive HMI objects
Bridge sensor data, telemetry, and 3D layouts into a unified operator view
OPC UA, MQTT, or REST APIs for real-time data exchange with control systems

Integrated Visualization Systems

Role-based dashboards for operations, management, QA, or mobile technicians
Integrate live data from Digital Twins, SCADA systems, or equipment sensors
Build-in historical logs, alarm tracking, condition-based color codes, and system state visualizations
Create lightweight web-based HMIs or cross-platform apps for remote monitoring
Combine 3D models or diagrams with live metrics to enhance situational awareness

Simulation, Diagnostics & Training Interfaces

Develop Unity-based simulators or test rigs using live or emulated data
Include guided procedures, anomaly detection, or safety alerts
Create digital commissioning tools that show expected vs actual behavior of connected systems
Use interfaces to track operator performance during simulations or drills
