Step into the future with iX
Beijer Electronics announces the launch of its ground-breaking iX concept. Beijer Electronics’ iX is an innovative HMI solution that is easy-to-use, comprehensive and flexible. Providing optimal, future-proof control with the right look and feel at all levels of design and operation, iX offers a new level of HMI creativity, catering to everything from standard needs to advanced and customized solutions. What’s more, it is compatible with an extensive range of automation equipment. As Beijer Electronics’ Head of Products & Marketing Anders Nilsson Schening explains, “iX is our most ambitious R&D project ever, with the possibilities offered by iX significantly expanding the boundaries of what an HMI can do for applications and users.” Anders Nilsson Schening continues “ iX’s unique advantage lies in its innovative software, both for development and runtime phases, that surpasses everything that currently exists on the market. And the time savings benefits are exceptional.”
Innovative openness
Available in a number of options as the combined hardware/software iX HMI System or as software only, Beijer Electronics’ iX affords you the innovative openness to create and operate applications with the same access to functionality as if you had programmed it yourself. iX forms itself to your needs, providing the applications you require exactly the way you want them. And supporting Microsoft’s .Net framework, iX offers infinite creative possibilities for customization and the freedom to create your own objects.
Time savings
With iX you have an application that works within 2 minutes. The simple and accessible nature of iX means that even those lacking HMI experience will be able to use it while its openness allows it to communicate with all PLCs. And, since all the functions one could possibly need are already pre-programmed, they only need to be integrated and configured into a Windows environment. Advanced graphics are also possible in seconds AS iX enables integration of a vast array of attractive graphic objects in just a few seconds. Further, iX has no limits. The simplest and the most complex HMIs can be programmed rapidly. iX’s simplicity means the highest-quality HMIs can be realized.
Windows standard streamlined HMI simplicity
Everyone from developers to operators will feel right at home with iX. The solution features Windows standard components to provide you with HMI in a format that’s familiar, appealing and easy-to-learn and use. Service material can be easily accessed directly via the HMI while expanding the visual potential of instructional documents and your HMI can access and be accessed via the Internet. “The Beijer Electronics iX concept takes HMI to the next level, providing you with the future-proof solutions affording openness and first class functionality as well as the reliability that generates confidence in your applications. Utilizing iX, you’ll always be guaranteed the very best in cutting-edge HMI solutions that will work for you today, tomorrow and the day after that” clarifies Anders Nilsson Schening.
A design for the future
With WPF vector-based graphics enabling excellent control, design and development of user-interfaces, you’ll enjoy crisp, clear images whatever the magnification. In addition, iX supports the Microsoft standard Ribbons, freeing you from the confusion of all those multiple levels of text menus and toolbars and letting you locate all the commands you need in one easily recognizable place. “Beijer Electronics’ iX is a design for the future” explains Anders Nilsson Schening “enabling you to design your applications creatively and efficiently and with the look and feel you want” he concludes. A leading supplier of cutting edge HMI solutions, Beijer Electronics is releasing its iX solution in Development, HMI System and Runtime modules and plans to increase the availability of the system to provide solutions in an expanding range of possibilities.
