Opto 22 groov HMI system

Opto 22’s groov is claimed to be a new way to build, deploy and view simple, effective, scalable operator interfaces to monitor control systems and equipment using computers and mobile devices. Using only a web browser, groov lets users quickly and securely build and deploy browser-based interfaces for automation, monitoring and control applications. These operator interfaces can then be viewed on almost any computer or mobile device regardless of its manufacturer or operating system, including PCs, tablets, smartphones and even smart high-definition televisions.

Opto 22 is calling this interface a HDI (human device interface) instead of HMI because it takes the regular HMI in a different direction: towards the tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices. Opto 22 developed groov with proven HMI best practices in mind, providing the tools necessary to build high-performance, intelligible information and control screens. It is not intended to directly replace HMIs, but to augment traditional HMIs by making important information available at any time and in any location.
