Industrial HMI Solutions: Built for Uptime, Not Downtime.

post

Gravitonic engineers high-performance, reliable HMI and SCADA systems that connect seamlessly with your PLCs, reduce operator error, and maximize production output.

In your world, downtime is measured in thousands of pounds per minute. An HMI that is slow, buggy, or confusing isn't just an annoyance—it's a direct threat to your production, safety, and profitability. Your HMI should be your most powerful tool, not your biggest bottleneck.

A Factory-Floor HMI Is Not a Web App.

Generic software developers don't understand the realities of the factory floor. They build fragile systems that can't handle the pressure.

Costly, Unplanned Downtime

Your HMI freezes, loses connection, or lags, bringing your entire production line to a halt. Operators are left "flying blind," and your maintenance team is scrambling to reboot a system that should never have failed.

The PLC & HMI Integration Nightmare

Your HMI team and your machine control (PLC) team are in different worlds. The result? A clunky, disconnected system where alarms are missed, data is lost, and the HMI is always one step behind the machine.

Increased Operator Error

A cluttered, text-heavy, or confusing interface increases cognitive load. This leads to operators making simple mistakes, missing critical alarms, or requiring months of training to operate the machinery safely and efficiently.

Obsolete, Unsupportable Technology

Your most critical line is running on an HMI built 15 years ago on an unsupported OS. It's impossible to maintain, a massive security risk, and you can't find new hardware for it. You're trapped by legacy tech.


Gravitonic's End-to-End Industrial HMI Solutions

Gravitonic is an engineering partner, not just a software vendor. We build the robust, reliable interface that gives you complete control over your machinery and operations.

1. Custom HMI & SCADA Development

We design and build complete, data-driven HMI and SCADA applications from the ground up. From a single machine's control panel to a full plant-wide supervisory system, we create clear, responsive dashboards that give your operators the actionable insights they need.

2. Legacy HMI Modernization

We are experts in "brownfield" projects. We help you migrate your obsolete HMIs (e.g., old PanelView, Siemens panels, or custom VB apps) to a modern, high-performance, and supportable platform like Qt, LVGL, or C# on Embedded Linux or Windows IoT.

3. PLC & Industrial Protocol Integration

This is our core strength. We are masters of the industrial communication stack. We ensure your HMI communicates flawlessly with your PLCs, drives, sensors, and actuators, creating a single, unified, and reliable control system.

4. UI/UX for Harsh Industrial Environments

We design for the reality of your factory. Our UIs are high-contrast, sunlight-readable, and designed for gloved-hand operation. We build rugged HMIs that can handle dust, moisture, vibration, and even requirements for hazardous environments (ATEX).

We Are Embedded Engineers, Not Just HMI Developers

Why do industrial leaders trust Gravitonic? Because we speak the language of the factory floor. We build HMIs with the reliability of a PLC.

We Speak Industrial Protocols (Fluently)

We are not web developers guessing at protocols. We are embedded engineers with deep, hands-on expertise in the entire industrial stack. We connect to any PLC or device via:

  • OPC-UA / DA

  • Modbus TCP/IP & RTU

  • PROFINET / PROFIBUS

  • EtherNet/IP

  • CANopen / J1939

  • EtherCAT

Rock-Solid Reliability (No Blue Screens)

Your HMI must be as reliable as your machinery. We build our solutions on stable, secure platforms like Embedded Linux (Yocto) and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), not on crash-prone desktop systems. This means fast boot times, no unpatched vulnerabilities, and 24/7/365 stability.

Design for the Real Operator

We follow Human Factors principles to design HMIs that reduce cognitive load. This means clear, prioritized alarms (not just a red light), intuitive navigation, and data visualizations that help operators make faster, smarter decisions under pressure.

Vendor-Agnostic, Full-Stack Partner

We aren't locked into a single ecosystem (like Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell FactoryTalk). We build the best solution for your specific problem, whether that's a high-performance Qt/QML application, a lightweight LVGL interface, or a powerful C#/.NET SCADA system.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between HMI and SCADA?

An HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is typically the local control panel on a single machine or process. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is the larger, plant-wide system that gathers data from multiple HMIs and PLCs to provide a central, high-level overview and control of the entire facility. Gravitonic designs and develops both.

Can you connect to our existing Siemens / Rockwell / Omron PLCs?

Yes, absolutely. We are vendor-agnostic. By using open standards like OPC-UA and Modbus, or specific protocol drivers, we can integrate our HMI solutions seamlessly with any major PLC brand you have on your floor.

Our HMI is 15 years old. Can you upgrade it without replacing the whole machine?

Yes. This is one of our core specialties. We can develop a modern HMI solution that communicates with your existing (and proven) PLC and control logic. This "HMI modernization" gives you all the benefits of a new system (performance, usability, remote access) with minimal disruption.

Do you just design the UI, or do you build the full software?

We are a full-stack engineering firm. We manage the entire lifecycle, from the initial UI/UX design concepts to writing, testing, and deploying the complete, production-ready software application that runs on your hardware.
