ProHMI user interface
Uniform operation. Maximum flexibility. No programming skills required.
One interface for everything. SRCI ready.
With ProHMI, you can control gantries, robots, and pallet systems through a single, intuitive visualization. No matter which controller or robot manufacturer is used, the standardized SRCI interface ensures cross-manufacturer operation – without any special programming skills.
The user interface simplifies trainings, onboarding of new workpieces, and troubleshootings. Motion sequences no longer need to be programmed in manufacturer-specific languages – ProHMI automatically translates them into the respective controller language.
There are two types of programming available:
Teach programme
With the teach programme, a new parameter set is created for a new workpiece via optical teach-in. A predefined sequence is automatically executed by the gantry loader, leaving the operator with the task of approaching and confirming the individual gripping points. Optical teaching is particularly useful for repeat parts and unknown future workpieces.
Parameter programme
A parameter programme is created for part families or geometrically identical parts. The coordination points are not taught in manually, but are calculated automatically by the control system. This enables efficient programming of a known range of parts with minimum effort.
By using this cross-control motion programming, you can design efficient processes in a much simpler way and adapt them to your production processes at any time – without the need for special programming skills.

- ROBOT INTEGRATED – easy programming without special knowledge
By integrating the robot controller into ProHMI, the separate teach pendant of the robot manufacturer is no longer needed. Specific knowledge of the robot controller or costly manufacturer-specific training for each operator is no longer required. With just one HMI – the PROMOT HT11 – you can comfortably and centrally control all robots in the system.
Thanks to the SRCI interface, robot control and programming are now standardized and cross-manufacturer compatible. PROMOT has fully implemented this standard, ensuring seamless collaboration with robots from various manufacturers.
- VISION INTEGRATED – smart part recognition
ProHMI integrates image processing seamlessly, without the need for additional user software from the camera manufacturer. Live images can be displayed directly during production, and new parts can be added and trained without any additional knowledge of image processing software. Part recognition works reliably for both gantries and robot automations.
- SAFETY INTEGRATED – everything in one controller
The safety controller is fully integrated into the main cell controller.
This combines PLC and safety programs in a single software environment.
The fail-safe control (TwinSafe from Beckhoff, F-CPU from Siemens) simplifies troubleshootings for maintenance personnel, saves time, and reduces system downtimes. For wireless operator devices, communication takes place over separate radio channels, ensuring that safety functions remain reliably secured even wirelessly.
Operating devices with ProHMI – perfectly adjusted to requirements
PROMOT offers a wide range of robust, high-performance, and well-designed operator devices, specifically tailored to the requirements of your system.
All devices use the uniform, intuitive ProHMI interface, allowing your operators to control all system functions centrally and easily at any time, without lengthy training.
Overview of the devices:
- Industrial PC (18″-24″) – central operating station
- Touchscreen (18″-24″) – extension for additional operating stations
- PROMOT HT11 wired handheld operating device (10.1″) – reliable for stationary use
- PROMOT HT11 wireless handheld operating device (10.1″) – for maximum mobility
- Customer workstation – customized solution according to your requirements
Benefits
ONLY ONE HAND-HELD OPERATING DEVICE
Control the entire automation system (robots, magazines, stations) with the mobile PROMOT HT11 – wirelessly or wired.
USER-FRIENDLY
By combining robot and system control, a unified operating concept is created for all functions of the cell and the robot, regardless of the manufacturer. This allows for easy handling and requires minimal training for the operator. Additionally, there is no need for manufacturer-specific robot training, saving both time and costs.
FLEXIBILITY
If production requirements change, modifications and additions can be implemented easily. ProHMI is also ideal for setting up new components.
EASY PROGRAMMING
The user does not need any specialized knowledge of manufacturer-specific robot programming. Motion sequences are automatically translated into the appropriate manufacturer language. The consistent operating logic reduces onboarding time and costs.
REMOTE MAINTENANCE
With ProHMI, all functions of the system can be monitored and controlled centrally – cell control, safety control, and robot control are combined in a single interface. This saves time during maintenance and ensures full oversight of your processes at all times. Particularly convenient: the PROMOT HT11 Wireless handheld device features an integrated camera, making remote maintenance faster and more efficient. Our technicians can visually guide problem-solving directly without being on-site.
For automotive customers, we offer the Siemens Transline standard as an alternative to ProHMI.
