We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Man-machine Interface",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Machine tool control without compromise from
NUM (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Flexium provides machine builders with a common platform for all system building activities, from standard machines to special-purpose equipment".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Meter design cuts gas costs from
Cambridge Consultants: "Cambridge Consultants' meter design substantially lowers the cost of construction and incorporates features to simplify the back-office procedures associated with managing accounts".
In August 2006, we covered the news from Ingersoll-Rand European Sales
concerning its Insight IC controllers
- take a look at Controllers take charge of fastening operations
which says: "Thanks to exceptional performance levels, the new range of Insight IC fastening controllers brings innovation to the market by exceeding existing standards".
Take a look also at the news release from Baldor UK, Linear motor system zips into place,
as well as Conductivity analysers go out into the field from Yokogawa UK,
and Dspace joins Autosar from Dspace UK.
