HMI, Human Machine interface modules are found in almost everything we use. Of course they are found in different shapes, sizes and forms. Some are tactile (touch screen) some are elastomeric or capacitive keypads, But one thing is for sure, Their use is almost as necessary in today’s digital age and numbers and letters in our communication lingo. The reason for their popularity is that they enable simple tasks for operators and although they give the impression of a seemingly easy technology… they are nothing but. Few companies stand out in this field more than GGI. A company, for whom I have had a tremendous privilege of working with, while performing a Corporate Video Presentation Voice Over.

You see, for years working this kind of technology on a daily basis, I thought it was high time, I explored the facets of the HMI world a little more closely.

GGI a global leader in this field opened their arms wide to teach me (on a personal basis) what I was craving to know. The extreme simplicity of use is NOWHERE close the highly complex knowledge and required skills that are injected in this technology every day. In fact for GGI International, the research on human behavior plays almost as much importance than the technology itself, since, let’s face it, the only reason it is made so simple is…to facilitate our lives. But make no mistake, the technology and application of said simplicity IS extremely complex. Every human thinks and reacts differently and so HMI technology has to evolve to being as simplistic as possible so that we as humans can see the clear benefits of using them.

Let me explore a tad of what technologies are available.

CTS is the capacitive Keypad interfacing, it is strategically embedded on a printed circuit board without the need of an LCD. Using graphic overlays they offer a clean looking keypad type of interface for almost every use.

Elastomeric keypads are used in so many places, we do not even realise how elaborate they are. The most obvious use is… in that of a remote control. Whether it be for a TV, a lift truck, slicing machines, ATVs, a helicopter joystick OR as simple as a clicker for your car starter. But I digress… founder Peter Graham truly knows what it takes to succeed!

If you want to know more about great possibilities or have a need of your own, I would like to offer that you look into GGI International. From Turn-key HMI assembly, with or without touch screens…they can make your knowledge go through the roof and the technology is one of the most competitive, cutting edge and durable of the industry.
