With the new OPTIMA Machine Interface (HMI), your machines can be operated intuitively with maximum user centricity

You can get even greater performance from your machine thanks to the modular cleanroom-compatible hardware, user-centric design and ease of access to Optima's digital Smart Services. 

The HMI can be adapted for use by different users, therefore reducing training time and offering an all-in-one ecosystem with production data monitoring. This means error rates can be progressively minimized and your processes optimized, which in turn provides greater performance and user convenience.

User centric

Humans and machines come together

At its core is high user-centricity: The new HMI focuses on the machine operator with the aim of making their day-to-day work as simple and efficient as possible. It is quick and easy to make modifications and to save individual favorites and settings, which reduces training time for new employees and makes it easier to operate the machines.

Apps make your production easier

The production dashboard provides you with the most important production data at a glance. The HMI enables the machine status and data to be monitored so that maintenance work can be planned in advance and downtimes therefore minimized. The new HMI offers direct access to Optima’s digital apps. With the IPAS Apps, Intelligent Production Assistance Services, the content can be modularly adapted to the relevant needs. The HMI enables machine states and data to be monitored so that maintenance work can be planned preventively and downtime can be minimized.

Modular hardware

A perfect fit and flexible

The new HMI enables intuitive and simple operation to ensure efficient work. Its modular hardware makes it as easy to use as a smartphone and meets the highest standards of hygiene. Flexible wireless operation is enabled by mono and dual display solutions, as well as mobile panels, and the hardware can be customized to include extra control buttons. An integrated LED screen displays the machine's operating status.
