HMI Development
Human Machine Interface Software Development Service
Building Intuitive & Intelligent Industrial Interfaces
Machine controls should feel simple & breezy, not complex & frustrating. Outdated Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) slow down processes, lower productivity—if the interface is not simple, clear and responsive. Codewave reimagine what an HMI can do.
We bring precision and simplicity to HMI, create dynamic and responsive interfaces with Qt, for real-time monitoring and process control. Siemens TIA Portal automates processes smoothly, while LabVIEW gives you control and reliability. Your system becomes smooth, responsive, and easy to navigate.
MQTT is integrated for instant connectivity and edge computing for quick responses. AI-powered analytics help you stay ahead by predicting potential issues before they happen. Your HMI evolves with your business—no downtime, just progress.
With Codewave, you’ll see real results—up to 60% lesser operator errors and 40% faster response times. That’s less stress, smoother workflows, and more productivity for your team.

HMI Design & Development Services
It’s time to take control of your industrial systems and change how you interact with machines to get large chunks of work done, everyday.
Industrial operations require HMIs that provide real-time equipment monitoring and quick fault detection. Rockwell FactoryTalk integrates control systems, improving efficiency. Siemens WinCC provides a platform for process visualization and control for quick detection and resolution of issues.
For example, imagine you’re running a factory where machines need constant monitoring. With these systems, operators can see everything on one screen, instantly spot any glitches, and fix them before they become big issues. This means fewer delays and smoother operations.
Cloud-based HMIs are great for managing and controlling devices remotely. Kaa IoT Platform connects devices and helps gather data in the cloud. Google Cloud IoT Core makes sure all devices stay connected and secure. Together, these tools create a flexible and powerful cloud-based interface.
For example, in a factory with equipment across multiple locations, you can monitor the performance of all machines from your laptop or phone. Real-time updates help you quickly spot issues and take action, all from anywhere in the world.
We start by understanding your user needs, goals and flows – ensure your HMI gives users quick access to critical machine controls, simplifies navigation, guarantees 100% task success and provides real-time feedback. If the UX doesn’t meet business goals, like task success rate above 99%, response times less than 2 seconds and prevention of errors the design isn’t considered effective.
We create interactive prototypes with tools like Axure RP to test usability early. This helps catch any bottlenecks before development. We then use tools like Adobe XD to refine the design for a clear, consistent interface.
Imagine your team managing multiple things at once. We design interfaces that prioritizes controls and simplifies navigation–so your team focuses on the task to be done rather than figuring out the controls.
Standard interfaces can’t handle specialized workflows or industry-specific requirements. We develop custom HMI frameworks using Qt Quick for responsive, visually rich interfaces and Electron to maintain consistent functionality across devices.
Custom frameworks allow us to optimize your specific processes– real-time data visualization in manufacturing or touch-optimized controls for medical devices.
For example, in a hospital setting, we design an interface that integrates diagnostics, equipment controls, and monitoring into a single screen. This reduces the need for switching between systems–saves time, and ensures critical data is always accessible.
Advanced control systems help machines and processes work without disruptions. We use SCADA systems to gather real-time data from all your equipment, and PLC integration automates tasks to ensure precise control over operations and reduce manual intervention.
For instance, we connect every machine to a unified control system in a manufacturing plant. If one machine starts to malfunction, the system automatically redistributes the workload to other machines—preventing production delays and reducing the risk of system-wide failure.
Embedded systems need fast, lightweight interfaces that don’t slow things down. With Crank Software’s Storyboard, we build interactive HMIs that run effortlessly on embedded devices, while SEGGER emWin ensures smooth performance even on low-powered systems.
For example, in a vehicle’s dashboard system, these tools help display real-time updates like speed and fuel levels. They keep the interface smooth and reliable, making it easy for users to stay focused without lag or glitches.
HMI ecosystem that scales across devices and platforms requires the right tools. Kubernetes automates scaling and deployment of applications. It ensures consistent HMI performance across environments with less manual effort. Qt Framework provides a unified development platform for designing consistent interfaces for multiple platforms.
Imagine a manufacturing business upgrading its machinery to include HMIs on new equipment. The system scales effortlessly, syncing new devices with existing ones, and maintaining consistency in functionality and user experience without disrupting operations.
Middleware enables reliable communication, information flow and uniform functionality across all HMI systems. We use RabbitMQ to manage message queues for smooth data transfer between interfaces. Protobuf (Protocol Buffers) compresses and structures data for efficient HMI communication.
Think of an energy monitoring platform pulling data from different sensors. Middleware consolidates the data, processes it, and displays key metrics in a unified dashboard, helping teams act quickly and efficiently.
