Overview of QuickHMI features

QuickHMI is available in the Standard, Ultimate and Enterprise commercial editions. The editions differ in terms of their range of functions and cover a variety of use cases – from traditional web-based HMIs to data provision for higher-level systems.
For purely private, non-commercial use, the free Community Mode is also available.
On this page, you can see the detailed features offered by each edition.

Enterprise interfaces – data provision for external systems

QuickHMI uses data sources to collect values from controllers and systems. QuickHMI makes its project’s data available to external systems. MES, control systems or data logging systems connect to QuickHMI, read values and write them back, provided you authorise this.
