Traditional HMIs work well for everyday machine operation, but modern manufacturing often demands more flexibility. During commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and robot programming, operators rarely stay in one place. Instead, they move around the machine to inspect components, verify motion, and make adjustments from various different…
