The Importance of an HMI on Packaging Machinery

We asked our Electrical Engineers why a customer should spend the extra money to purchase an HMI with their packaging machinery. We were all a bit surprised to learn about all the really great features and value the HMI adds to the machinery in both functionality and time-saving benefits.

Here are a few of the items they mentioned: For use on bottle unscramblers, cappers and orienters, an HMI allows the operator to make changes to the speeds of the machine without entering the control panel. This is a great safety feature. An HMI also allows changes to the timers without getting online with a program. It also allows the ability to read the machine status while the machine is running. Another great capability for orienters is that it allows the operator to make changes to the amount of rotation being performed.

For a full list of benefits of adding and HMI to your next packaging machine, visit NEM’s website at www.neminc.com and view their upcoming July 2014 newsletter, ask your packaging machinery salesperson, or contact an NEM representative at (941) 755-5550.
