To keep your HMI system current
and resilient:
Adopt proactive maintenance
practices.
Regularly check for software
updates and patches released
by the HMI software provider.
Implement a systematic
approach to testing updates in
a controlled environment
before deploying them to
production systems.
Train operators on new
features and best practices to
maximize the benefits of the
updated HMI software while
minimizing downtime and
disruptions.
