Komax HMI

Customizable high-performance production machines are increasingly complex items of manufacturing equipment – which is why their operation needs to be simple, consistent and error-proof. In response, Komax has developed Komax HMI, the new operating software for fully automatic wire processing machines. The new human machine interface (HMI) facilitates the transition from complexity to maximum simplicity with a new operating philosophy. User guidance and customizable procedures guarantee perfect processes, step by step. Integration with a manufacturing execution system allows real-time data to be exchanged and analyses to be performed at any time, thereby creating maximum transparency across the production chain. HMI from Komax gives access to the machine’s full performance potential in order to produce wire harnesses more flexibly, quickly and economically.

The new Komax HMI software is based on a use-case-driven design architecture. Depending on the specific application, for example stripping, the process-relevant data for each procedure are consolidated and displayed concisely on one page, providing full overview at a single glance.

Furthermore, the standard production process can be customized, enabling the production process to be modified, redesigned, supplemented and optimized – even during running operation if required.

HMI from Komax can be connected to a manufacturing execution system by using an open interface. This enables real-time data analyses at all times for maximum transparency across the entire production process. All data are documented without exception, making the end product fully traceable. With Komax HMI the process can be monitored, evaluated and optimized in a single step during running production. This allows for the full utilization of the machine’s capacity and sets a firm basis for a significant increase in quality and productivity.
