Customizable, safety‑compliant HMIs let factories accelerate digitalization while meeting strict regulatory and hygiene standards, reducing downtime and overall costs.
Rose, a German‑based automation supplier, showcased its ability to produce fully customized human‑machine interface (HMI) panels on a one‑off basis, a service that larger OEMs such as Siemens typically do not offer.
The video highlighted three technical differentiators: a hard‑wired emergency‑stop button that satisfies safety standards, an RFID card reader that eliminates password‑based login, and modular push‑button configurations that can be added or omitted per client specifications.
As the presenter explained, “If the stop button were software‑based, a glitch could prevent machine shutdown,” underscoring the hardware requirement. The RFID system uses a thin glass plate with an embedded reader, while the hygiene‑rated arms are DGUV‑certified, featuring sealed surfaces and no external screws for easy cleaning in food‑grade environments.
These capabilities allow manufacturers to deploy tailor‑made interfaces quickly, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce both capital expense and downtime, positioning Rose as a niche but potentially disruptive player in the industrial HMI market.
