Human-Machine Interface Software and Services Market Poised for Significant Growth
According to ARC Advisory Group research, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software and services market is poised for significant growth, driven by key industry trends. In the automotive sector, the rise of electric vehicle (EV) and battery manufacturing demands advanced HMI capabilities for efficient production processes. Sustainability and circularity initiatives in the food and beverage and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries emphasize the need for HMI solutions that support eco-friendly practices. Additionally, energy optimization remains a top priority across manufacturing sectors, driving the demand for HMI software that can enhance operational efficiency. These drivers underscore the importance of robust and adaptable HMI software solutions in meeting the evolving needs of diverse industries.
The global HMI software and services market is undergoing a transformative phase, driven by Industry 4.0's technological advancements. HMI software acts as a crucial bridge between humans and machines in various industries. It enables seamless communication, improves productivity, and enhances safety. Key trends include Industry 4.0 adoption, advanced visualization tools, remote monitoring capabilities, integration of AI and machine learning, cloud integration, cybersecurity measures, and a focus on sustainability. HMI software‘s future holds promise, with innovations like augmented reality interfaces and edge computing integration.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Software Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the HMI Software market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
HMI Software Should Support HTML5
One of the biggest developments in HMI is HTML5. Operating system-independent HTML5 works on nearly every web-enabled device, enabling, for example, HMI software developed on Microsoft Operating Systems to work on Apple’s iOS and Google-Android devices. Many toolkits are available, so little or no HTML programming knowledge is required. Through HTML5 there are hardly any limits to its usage; the graphical user interface is easy to use and it is user friendly.
Implement Industrial IoT and Robust Cybersecurity Alongside HMI Software Solutions
The Industrial IoT ecosystem will deliver on its promise of added value through increased productivity, predictive maintenance, and reduced as-set downtime. ARC sees a clear business benefit of integrating Industrial IoT as a key component of HMI software. For example, process industry applications can benefit from the remote management of assets to monitor, control, and/or optimize different components of production equipment visualized by HMI software in the Industrial IoT environment.
When one looks at Industrial IoT integration, one should not overlook cybersecurity efforts that must accompany it. Some HMI software suppliers collaborate with cloud providers and partner with cybersecurity companies to provide security and offer proactive security products to monitor and manage cybersecurity risks.
HMI Software Solutions Need to Be Capable of Leveraging the Latest Automation Trends
The latest technological developments will have a disruptive impact on the automation market in the mid to long term. Developments that will be particularly relevant to HMI software include:
- Intelligent devices and Industrial IoT
- Industry 4.0
- Big Data
- Cloud computing and services-based solutions
- Mobility
