The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) refers to all the hardware and software means allowing a user to interact with a machine or an automated system.
In the field of electric charging, an HMI can take the form of a touchscreen, a dashboard, a supervision platform, or a mobile application used to monitor charge status, start a session, or configure settings. The main goal of the HMI is to make the exchange between human and machine intuitive, smooth, and effective.
It plays an essential role in user experience, operational safety, and the accessibility of complex technologies by translating technical data into understandable and actionable information.
