The world market for operator terminals was estimated to have been
worth just over $1.5 billion in 2005. The total market is forecast to grow
at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% to $2.3 billion in
2011. Open operator terminals are projected to have the fastest growing
revenues and unit shipments over the forecast period 2006 to 2011, with
CAGR’s of 10.5% and 12.7% respectively. The worldwide touchscreen
operator terminal market represented nearly 70% of total worldwide
revenues in 2005, with this percentage set to increase slightly over the
forecast period.
Open HMI operates with a scalable (and open) operating system
(providing standard file formats, interfaces and communications) and
can provide some PC-based functionality, such as increased information
processing. These are diskless and fanless products that offer advanced
functionality over traditional HMI products with improved data handling
and standard interfaces and communications.
Led by the flourishing PC-based technology market, open HMI devices
not only provide interactive, vivid displays for operators & supervisors, but
also Ethernet networking, high performance computing, and open expan-
sion capabilities. Open HMI devices are replacing traditional operator
terminals by offering complete, intelligent HMI/SCADA platforms.
