Deploying human-machine interfaces (HMIs) isn't just about creating a clean interface - it’s about giving operators and engineers a faster, safer way to manage complex automation. This article by Daniel Hong in Control Engineering explains how modern HMI development platforms use modular design, customizable modules, and integrated access control to speed up development while reducing errors. These tools let developers tailor interfaces to different user needs, streamline onboarding, and protect critical functions without sacrificing flexibility. As automation demands grow, the software behind the interface is as critical as the hardware it controls.

🚀 Is CODESYS the Quiet Revolution in Industrial Automation? If you’ve been in the automation space for a while, you’ve probably noticed something: more and more engineers, integrators, and OEMs are quietly shifting away from the big-name PLC platforms like Siemens and Allen Bradley and leaning into CODESYS. And it’s not just a fringe movement anymore. So what’s driving the shift? 🔓 Freedom from vendor lock-in CODESYS runs on dozens of hardware platforms from Beckhoff to Weintek to Raspberry Pi. That means you’re not stuck in one ecosystem, paying premium prices for every module and license. 🧠 Multi-language support Structured Text, Ladder, Function Block it’s all there. Engineers can use the language that fits the task, not the one dictated by the vendor. 🛠️ Built-in visualization and simulation No need to bounce between five different tools. CODESYS lets you simulate, visualize, and debug in one environment. It’s lean, fast, and surprisingly intuitive. 💸 Cost efficiency Licensing is often free or low-cost. For startups, small integrators, or even large teams looking to scale, that’s a game-changer. But here’s the real question: Is CODESYS just a cheaper alternative or is it becoming the new standard? We’re seeing more clients ask for it. More engineers recommend it. More projects spec it in from day one. It’s not about being anti-Siemens or anti-Rockwell it’s about flexibility, speed, and control. 👀 This isn't just a Trend—It's a Transition: More engineers are spec’ing CODESYS from day one. More teams are asking for flexibility. More conversations are happening around breaking free from vendor lock-in. The shift isn’t hypothetical—it’s real. 👇 If you’ve made the switch, what tipped the scales for you? If you haven’t, what’s keeping you in the old ecosystem? #CODESYS #IndustrialAutomation #PLCProgramming #VendorFreedom #SmartManufacturing #BunkerAutomation

Today’s industrial automation continues to evolve at a blistering speed which means traditional Distributed Control Systems (DCS) must keep up to ensure continuous integration into modern, digital infrastructure, writes Johan Potgieter, Cluster Industrial Software Lead at Schneider Electric. #Opinion https://lnkd.in/dvnPbMjR
