Friability Tester HMI Upgrade
How we helped a client modernise a pharmaceutical friability tester — touchscreen HMI, modern connectivity and a database built to scale.

Problem
The client's friability tester relied on traditional button modules and a basic character display. It had limited connectivity, no field-bus support and a user database that could not grow with the business.
Solution
We replaced the button modules with a modern, compact touchscreen interface, integrated dual USB and Ethernet for seamless data transfer, added RS485 communication and SD card storage for field-bus connectivity and local logging, and architected an optimised database that significantly increases user capacity.
Additional Benefits
Beyond the fix
- ✓HMI evolution — buttons replaced by a touchscreen
- ✓Enhanced connectivity — dual USB and Ethernet
- ✓Industrial expansion — RS485 and SD card logging
- ✓System scalability — optimised user database
