HMI market to reach $3.60 billion in 2018

2018年人機界麵市場規模將達36億美元

Frost & Sullivan finds that the market earned revenues of $2.94 billion in 2014 and estimates this to reach $3.60 billion in 2018.

Frost & Sullivan研究報告顯示，2014年人機界麵市場規模為29.4億美元，預計到2018年，該數字將達36億美元。

Human machine interface (HMI) solutions have made rapid strides in the last decade in step with changing customer demands. As the trend towards real-time factory intelligence gains widespread acceptance in industries, HMI software will continue to evolve. From merely providing plant data on a mobile device, HMI now delivers real-time data and actionable insights to operators. The consequent benefits, such as lower plant operation costs, higher process efficiency, and greater energy efficiency will power the adoption of HMI solutions.

“The development of Industrie 4.0 in Europe and Smart Factory in the United States will create a future for the manufacturing sector wrapped around the convergence of applications,” said Frost & Sullivan Industrial Automation and Process Control Research Analyst Guru Mahesh. “As a result, the need to constantly innovate and reinvent components will propel the uptake of HMI in discrete sectors.”

“歐洲工業4.0和美的智能工廠規劃的發展，將為製造業的未來帶來應用融合，”Frost＆Sullivan工業自動化和過程控製研究分析師Guru Mahesh 表示
，“因此
，不斷創新和部件重塑的需要將推動離散行業采用人機產品。”

Unlike discrete industries, process industries such as chemicals, food and oil can get by with basic automation solutions for production in bulk quantities. Hence, advanced HMI solutions have found restricted use in the process sector.

與離散行業不同
，化工
、食品和石油等過程行業可以通過基本的自動化解決方案實現大宗生產，因此

，先進人機方案在過程領域的使用往往受到限製。

While this trend continues to pervade several process industries, the food and beverage sector is gradually giving in to the allure of HMI solutions. Manufacturers in this increasingly competitive segment have understood that automation is critical in order to remain profitable. Likewise, growing awareness in other process sectors will open up new applications for HMI solutions.

“Real-time intelligence and big data analytics are expected to revolutionize the HMI space,” noted Mahesh. “To capitalize on these opportunities, HMI vendors must meet the demand for innovative features and value-added services from end users in the global market.”
