HMI · With AI
Industrial HMI with AI: your machine, with history and a source
How it looks today
The HMI sees the now. Yesterday’s questions go unanswered.
Has this happened before?
the panel does not know
Who fixed it, and how?
the panel does not know
How has vibration trended this month?
the panel does not know
The screen shows the alarm and lets you run the machine. What happened in July, who fixed it and how vibration was trending lives in a spreadsheet, a notebook or Pedro’s memory.
How it works
Same PLC, two paths: control does not change and the data is added
Control · as today
What iGromi adds
- The Edge does not write to the PLC or change its program
- No inbound ports are opened toward the control network
- Offline, the Edge stores and sends what is pending when the link is back
Operator panel
A screen next to the line, for watching the machine
The Edge serves a panel inside the plant network with that machine’s variables and their trend. Grey as the base and color only for what goes off normal: M-204 vibration shows up before it becomes an alarm.
In iGromi OS
Ask the machine and the AI tells you where it got the answer
Carla asks whether the M-204 failure has happened before. The answer brings the date, who fixed it and the source: the Jul 14 work order and the vibration sensor. She decides; the order goes to Luis.
Cameras too
The machine is not just the PLC: the cameras you already have count
The Edge runs vision models on the installed cameras and the video is processed in the plant. What it counts appears next to the PLC variables, on the panel and in the app.

With iGromi
| Your HMI | With iGromi | |
|---|---|---|
| Command the machine | Yes, that is its job | No: it reads read-only |
| See the current state | Yes, at the station | Yes, on the line panel, in iGromi OS and in the app |
| Months of history | Short or none | Every variable time-stamped, offline too |
| Past failures and what was done | No | Work orders and team notes, cited in the answer |
| Cross several machines | One machine or cell | The whole plant, with cameras and sensors |
| Ask “has this happened before?” | No | The AI answers and says where it got it |
Your data
Where your machines’ data is kept
iGromi cloud, separated per company
The shift app: chat, photo and voice records, and AI that answers with its source.
A private, isolated cloud for your company
Adds SAP, ERP and spreadsheets. The AI model runs inside that cloud.
Inside your plant, on Edge or on-premise
Adds PLCs, sensors and cameras. The Edge reads the PLC read-only and keeps measuring offline.
