Human Machine Interface (HMI) is the user interface of a machine that provides a graphics based visualization of the controls and systems monitoring on a piece of equipment. Membrane switches, rubber keypads, and touchscreens are traditional examples of the HMI that can be seen and touched. Astronics incorporates these elements along with displays, LED’s, power supplies, wire harnesses/cable assemblies, and other complex elements to deliver quality product.
