HMInow - create ready-to-use HMI views in just a few clicks.

HMInow

The future of HMI is now

Accelerate your HMI creation with HMInow! Our PLC-independent, web-based software provides ready-to-use, industry-specific HMI views with matching PLC structures. Create engaging and intuitive interfaces – no special programming knowledge required. HMInow is the cost-effective and efficient solution for machine builders looking to boost productivity and experience time savings of up to 38%* in HMI creation.

PLC independent:

PLC independent

Are you looking for an HMI solution that can be used independently of the PLC and its manufacturer? We offer exactly that! The PLC-independent HMInow gives you the necessary flexibility without compromising on performance, functionality, or user-friendliness. Our HMI software enables connection to most programmable logic controllers (PLC) via OPC UA, as well as through native protocols, often saving additional licensing costs. From now on, maintain just one HMI base project for all the controller types you use.

Ready-to-use views:

Ready-to-use views

Our powerful standard views enable efficient implementation of machine visualizations in the shortest possible time. With HMInow, you can create industry-independent visualizations “out of the box”. This is achieved without extensive training or special programming knowledge. We supply our ready-to-use HMI with suitable PLC structures so that you can get started straight away. And it is as simple as drag & drop.

Clear, user-centered design

Clear, user-centered design

Differentiate yourself from the competition with an HMI that is not only a real eye-catcher, but also enables appealing and intuitive operation of your machine. With many years of experience and over 30,000 machines in the field, we have continuously optimized our HMI concepts and incorporated them into the development of HMInow. Benefit from a clear layout and a consistent, seamless operating concept that makes interaction intuitive and pleasant. Increase efficiency and inspire your users with an HMI that truly stands out!

Tailored to machine building

Tailored to machine building

HMInow is made for machine building. Good PLC integration with pre-configured PLC structures and rapid HMI setup without specialist knowledge make the application ideal for PLC programmers. Requirements for machine building, such as enabling the manual function from active control points or linking dead man's switches to HMI functions, are already integrated.

Web-based, open, and AI-ready

Web-based, open, and AI-ready

HMInow is entirely web-based, enabling its use on any device with a browser. Furthermore, its responsive design allows for use on any screen size. The open HTML-based file format ensures seamless integration with version control systems, allowing multiple users to collaborate effectively on a single HMI project. This open format also creates ideal conditions for future utilization of AI technologies in conjunction with HMInow.

Why do you benefit from HMInow?

38% faster to HMI*

With our solution, you can design your machine visualizations according to your preferences in 62%* of the time, thanks to fully functional standard views, without having to compromise on an appealing design.


* At Bosch we achieved this saving.

Flexible and independent

A software solution that is compatible with the most common PLC manufacturers offers you maximum flexibility and enables you to react quickly to market changes or supply bottlenecks.

67% reduced maintenance costs*

By reducing the maintenance costs for HMI maintenance by 67%*, you can effectively counteract the increasing price and time pressure from competitors.


* At Bosch we achieved this saving.

Questions and answers

A PLC manufacturer-independent HMI solution can be used with controllers from different manufacturers. This allows you to work flexibly and not be tied to a specific supplier. We offer support in the form of integrable PLC structures and modules for Siemens, Allen Bradley, CoDeSys and PLCopen-capable controllers.

Our web-based HMI solution can be easily built in a graphical editor - without any HTML or programming skills. This enables PLC programmers to create an HMI quickly and without much training.

Our industry-specific building blocks offers a large number of ready-to-use standard views that make the development and maintenance of your own views superfluous. In addition, we supply these views with suitable PLC structures that enable fast linking to the PLC. Many functionalities of the HMI can be controlled directly via the PLC so that no work is required in the HMI tool itself.

Our lightweight HMI solution allows for easy use without costly training. The editor has been developed for PLC programmers and does not require any programming knowledge. This makes it very easy to test HMInow in a first project without great investment risk.

HMInow was developed with a focus on operational ease.

Attractive design: A consistent and uniform UX design increases associate motivation and commitment, while at the same time significantly simplifying operation and maintenance.

Operational efficiency: A consistent, vendor-independent user interface for all machines ensures optimum production and minimal downtime.

Quick training: The user-centered operating concept enables quick onboarding of operating and maintenance personnel.

HMInow is licensed via a runtime license and a development license. Different license classes allow you to use the right license for your project. The licenses are bound to the respective computer.

Whether HMI-now, Hmi.now, or Bosch HMI. HMInow is a flexible Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution. This lean software enables the rapid creation of ready-to-use HMI interfaces. This allows you to implement projects efficiently and time-savingly.
