Human machine interface (HMI) is defined as the communication between humans and machines. The term human machine interface (HMI) can be applied to any screen that someone uses to interact with a device, but it is primarily used to describe such screens that are used in industrial settings. There are many other names for human machine interface (HMI), such as Man-machine interface, computer-human interface, human computer interface, Local operator interface (LOI), or operator interface terminal OIT).
The applications of human machine interface (HMI) are widely used in several different industries, such as Energy, Food and beverage, manufacturing, oil and gas, power, recycling, transportation, automotive, packaging, metal and mining, aerospace & defense, healthcare, electronics, entertainment, water and wastewater, pharmaceuticals, and others. human machine interface (HMI) enables users with the power to operate and control a system or machine.
The interface consists of software and hardware that permit users' inputs to be converted to machine-readable code, and then in turn, provide the required result to the user. It helps to reduce errors, improve user satisfaction, and boost overall productivity. The sophistication of the human-machine interface (HMI) varies as per the complexity of the machine, device, or system it is used for. In industries, human machine interface can be used for one function or for multiple purposes, such as monitoring plant operations and controlling equipment.

The rising awareness regarding the benefits of human machine interface is expected to carve the way for growth of the human machine interface market during the forecast period. HMI enables safe messaging coupled with improved internal communications and alarm warnings is likely to fuel the growth of the market. The improvement in technology at a rapid pace along with the increasing internet adoption, resulting in the increasing use of human machine interface. Self-service kiosks, ATM machines, gas station pumps, self-checkout lines, industrial robots, and others use human machine interface to process user inputs and convert them to machine-readable code, and then perform the task without any assistance needed from an employee or attendant.
Self-ordering kiosk systems are becoming popular in the retail and restaurant business. Several retail outlets and restaurants are deploying self-service kiosks such as GRUBBRR, KFC, Maccas, Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd., and others to eliminate lines, free up employees’ time, deliver a better customer experience, and convenient options for customers. Self-ordering kiosks help restaurants reduce wait times and improve order accuracy.
The installation cost and maintenance cost of a human machine interface system can be relatively high, which acts as a major restraint for the growth of the human machine interface market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face budget constraints that discourage them from embracing human machine interface systems. In addition, the high cost of advanced technologies including high-quality displays, voice recognition, gesture recognition, multi-touch screens, and others increases the expenditure of the installing company. Human machine interface systems may have different price points depending on the features, functionality, and brand. Some SMEs may be price-sensitive and opt for lower-cost or budget-friendly options with limited features.
