Abstract

The application of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) has widely been used due to rapidly evolution of advanced computer technology. In a factory environment, this is typically a user interface (UI) at the machine level that gives machine operator information about a process and allows them to control or make changes to the process. For years, HMI has reduced the number of operator and worker at certain manufacturing plant that also cause the hazard level on the workstation to be slightly reduced. Thus, this project will be focused on how far an HMI application can be developed to achieve this kind of objective. The project will be applied to existing FMS plant for LCD screen assembly line. The plant is a combination of several type of automation equipments such as transfer devices, sensors and actuators which is controlled by single PLC. Therefore, new type of communication needs to be established to access and manipulate the input or output data from the PLC using programming approach. A number of solutions have been researched to find an effective method in developing a reliable control and supervisory application for industry. This project will exposed the conceptual approach on applying HMI to the available production plant including the design, software selection until the development of actual HMI application.
