Motion Control Market Trends

The motion control industry is expected to see increased adoption of advanced Human-Machine Interaction technologies. This includes intuitive interfaces, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) applications that enhance the interaction between operators and motion control systems. Improved HMI can lead to better user control, monitoring, and diagnostics, contributing to enhanced overall system performance and user experience.
 

Citing an example, in March 2023, ADLINK Technology Inc., a global leader in edge computing, introduced the PanKonix Series HMI Panel PC—a cutting-edge industrial all-in-one panel PC that seamlessly integrates control, gateway, and display functions. This innovative product delivers a cost-effective solution with easy integration and high extendibility, leveraging software-defined motion controllers like SuperCAT and iFace Designer. The PanKonix Series ensures swift and reliable connections to mainstream PLC- and PC-based controllers alongside I/O modules. With an elegant, customizable user interface, the system offers features such as network enablement, cloud connectivity, push notifications, and simplified multi-IP management. With its cost savings, streamlined wiring, reduced integration time, and robust HMI software, the PanKonix Series is poised to revolutionize industrial efficiency.
