HMIs are generally used in manufacturing facilities and other commercial workspaces as a part of control systems. The traditional versions of HMIs are basic and user can only control by old-fashioned levers and knobs. The updated versions of HMIs are more complex. Some HMIs integrate touchscreen interfaces to function as a method of control instead of levers and knobs. The industrial equipment with monitors in the factory manufacturing line, the medical equipment with touch display, the fuel dispensers with touch screens at gas stations, and the fitness machine with touchable screens at gyms all utilize a touchscreen as an interactive interface between people and machines to enable people directly control the process with single-touch or multi-touch.
