HMI & SCADA Development FAQs
What is a High-Performance HMI and why is it important?
A High-Performance HMI follows ISA-101 guidelines to design operator screens that minimize cognitive load. Instead of flashing red elements everywhere, it uses neutral backgrounds and reserves color strictly for abnormal conditions, allowing operators to detect and resolve faults significantly faster.
Can you migrate legacy PanelView or WinCC flexible screens to modern platforms?
Yes. We extract tag databases and screen layouts from legacy operator interfaces, convert tag references, and redesign graphics for modern widescreen WinCC Unified or FactoryTalk View ME/SE environments.
