Smart 3D HMI Solution to Assist Machine Operators

Dyvixion’s Smart 3D HMI Solution: A No-Code Revolution in Industrial Automation

The Smart 3D HMI solution is redefining how factories operate. This system not only provides seamless integration with Beckhoff, but also supports PLCs via the OPC UA protocol. This 3D Add-On was build on Dyvixion's Core product, which introduces a no-code development approach, empowering operators and technicians to create and manage visualizations and procedures without the need for programming expertise. From precise error localization to dynamic 3D instructions, this solution streamlines operations, reduces downtime, and enhances productivity.

No-Code Innovation: Simplifying Complexity

One of the most revolutionary aspects of Dyvixion’s Smart 3D HMI is its no-code functionality. Unlike traditional HMIs that require skilled programmers to configure, this solution allows users to build and customize their Visual detections and instructions with ease.

Operators or technicians can localize errors directly on the HMI. By typing an error or event code and clicking on the relevant part of the displayed 3D model, they can create a dynamic visualization. The system highlights the specific part of the machine associated with the error whenever the code is triggered, ensuring that the exact location is instantly visible.

For instance, if a motor fails or a valve gets stuck, the corresponding component on the 3D model lights up, guiding the operator directly to the issue. This feature not only saves time but also eliminates ambiguity, allowing for quicker resolution of problems.

Step-by-Step Instructions Made Simple

Once the error is localized, operators can load corresponding step-by-step instructions to address the issue. These instructions are fully integrated with the 3D model and can even include animations for clarity. Whether it’s a maintenance task, a service procedure, a cleaning routine, or a machine setup process, the system supports detailed, visual instructions tailored to each scenario.

The creation of these procedures is also a no-code process. Users can drag and drop elements, attach animations, and link instructions to specific parts of the 3D model, making it accessible even to non-technical staff. This eliminates the need for expensive programmers or external consultants while allowing factories to customize processes quickly.

Seamless 3D Visualizations Based on CAD Data

Dyvixion’s Smart 3D HMI Add-On leverages existing CAD data to create highly accurate visualizations of machinery. This ensures that every component, down to the smallest detail, is represented faithfully in the interface. When an operator interacts with the HMI, they see an exact digital twin of the machine, making navigation and troubleshooting intuitive.

The ability to use CAD data for visualization also streamlines the process of setting up the HMI. Instead of manually defining parts and layouts, the system automatically generates models from the CAD files, significantly reducing implementation time.

A Solution for Every Task

The flexibility of the Smart 3D HMI extends beyond error handling. It supports a wide range of step-based procedures, including:

• Maintenance Procedures: Operators can follow clear, animated steps to ensure machines are serviced correctly, extending equipment lifespan.
• Service Instructions: Detailed visual guides help technicians address complex repairs with confidence.
• Setup Processes: Simplify machine setups with guided workflows, reducing errors and setup time.
• Cleaning Procedures: Ensure compliance with cleaning standards through precise instructions and animations.
• Machine Changeovers (Omstellen): Simplify the process of reconfiguring machinery for different tasks or products, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.

This versatility makes the Smart 3D HMI a comprehensive solution for factories aiming to optimize every aspect of their operations.
