The Serious Human Interface™ Platform, or "SHIP", is an integrated collection of capabilities to connect Industrial Machines to Humans wherever they are. These capabilities include:

  • Graphic/Touch front panel systems to deliver a modern interactive experience directly in front of the machine
  • Communications systems to connect the machine, the front panel, and the cloud as well as other networks
  • Cloud based systems, including over-the-air/wire updates, dashboards, analytics, provisioning, security, data piping, tablet/phone connectivity, and more to connect humans to the machines remotely


SHIP - the Big Picture


As an OEM systems designer, you can select from this collection of capabilities to evolve your Industrial Machine to a highly connected, interactive product.

Often OEMs start with the front panel "refresh" as the first step in the process, using the Serious Integrated Modules (SIMs) as a fast and cost effective way to transform the in-person human machine interactivity. Others start with a more subtle architectural change, using the Serious Communications Modules (SCMs) to re-engineer the insides of the machine in preparation for being cloud connected, reduce cost, and enable software and system scalability in the future.

Typical Industrial Machine Architecture

Many existing machines have a fairly straightforward "operator interface" with buttons, LEDs, and perhaps a small text display for basic menus, configuration, and status information.
