1.2. The Critical Role of HMI in Textile Automation and Industry 4.0

As global manufacturing advances towards Industry 4.0, the textile machinery sector is undergoing profound changes. The proliferation of automation technology, aimed at improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality stability, and reducing operational costs, has become an inevitable trend in industry development. In this process, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) plays a crucial role, serving as the core hub for interaction, control, and monitoring between operators and complex machine systems.

Modern HMIs are no longer just simple control panels; they are increasingly becoming key nodes for data-driven operations. In process-intensive industries like textile dyeing and printing, HMIs need to clearly and intuitively display a large amount of real-time production data, equipment status, process parameters, and diagnostic information, helping operators make quick and accurate judgments to optimize production processes. Fuji Electric, in its textile machinery retrofitting case, modernized equipment by replacing traditional manual buttons with HMIs, fully illustrating the role of HMIs in enhancing equipment sophistication.

The rise of smart manufacturing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has further amplified the importance of HMIs. Market trends indicate that the growth in industrial display applications is closely related to the development of automation, Industry 4.0, and IoT technologies. In the textile industry, this means HMIs need to possess stronger data processing capabilities, network connectivity, and the potential to support remote monitoring and diagnostics. For textile enterprises facing challenges in efficiency improvement and complex production management , adopting advanced HMI technology is a key measure to maintain competitiveness.

1.3. Addressing Challenges: Key HMI Requirements in Dyeing and Printing Environments

Textile dyeing and printing workshops are known for their harsh production environments, which place extremely high demands on the durability and reliability of HMI systems. When selecting HMI solutions, the following key environmental factors and operational requirements must be fully considered:

  • Temperature and Humidity: Dyeing workshops typically experience significant temperature fluctuations and high humidity levels. The dyeing process involves high-temperature water and steam, which can lead to elevated ambient temperatures around equipment. Concurrently, air humidity is also high, easily affecting conventional electronic devices. HMIs need to operate stably within a wide temperature range, such as 0°C to 50°C or even broader industrial standards (e.g., -20°C to +70°C), and under relative humidity (RH) conditions of 40-60% or higher.
  • Dust and Particulates: The production process inevitably generates suspended particles like lint and fiber dust, which can infiltrate equipment interiors, affecting the HMI's normal operation and lifespan.
  • Liquid Ingress and IP Protection Level: HMI devices may be directly exposed to water splashes, steam, condensation, and corrosive dye or chemical mists. Therefore, HMI enclosures need an adequate protection level, such as IP54 (dust and splash-proof) or IP65 (completely dust-proof and water-jet proof), to ensure the safety of internal electronic components.
  • Chemical Corrosivity: The dyeing process uses various dyes, auxiliaries, acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents. The HMI front panel, especially the touchscreen surface, must be able to resist corrosion from these chemicals to avoid discoloration, blistering, material dissolution, or performance degradation.
  • Vibration: Textile machinery (especially large dyeing and printing equipment) generates continuous mechanical vibrations during operation. The HMI structure must be robust and capable of withstanding a certain level of vibration (e.g., meeting a 1.5G vibration test standard) to ensure the stability of internal connections and the clarity of the display.
  • Visibility and Clarity: Lighting conditions in workshops vary. HMI screens need sufficient brightness, high contrast, and good color performance to ensure information remains clearly readable under different lighting conditions. Anti-glare (AG) surface treatment is also very important for reducing reflections and enhancing the visual experience.
  • Glove Operation: For safety and hygiene reasons, operators often need to wear gloves. Therefore, the HMI's touchscreen technology must support reliable glove operation. Resistive touchscreens, due to their pressure-sensing principle, are generally well-compatible with various types of glove operations.

Overall, the textile dyeing and printing environment presents multi-dimensional challenges to HMI robustness. No single superior performance feature can meet the demand; instead, a comprehensive consideration of its overall ability to withstand high temperature and humidity, dust and water, chemical corrosion, and vibration is required. In such environments, resistive touchscreens often have an advantage over capacitive touchscreens due to their insensitivity to surface contaminants (like water stains, minor oil smudges) and reliable glove operation characteristics. Simultaneously, the chemical compatibility of HMI enclosure and touchscreen surface materials directly relates to the device's service life and total cost of ownership (TCO) in corrosive environments.

Table 1: Key HMI Requirements Checklist for Textile Dyeing and Printing Environments

Requirement Target Specification/Level Importance for the Textile Industry
Operating Temperature -20°C to +70°C or wider Adapts to temperature changes in the workshop caused by equipment heat dissipation and process heating

2.2. Solution Focus Two: BOE BA121S01-200 (12.1-inch) with AMT9542 Resistive Touchscreen

BOE BA121S01-200 LCD Display Panel

The BOE BA121S01-200 is a 12.1-inch SVGA (800x600) resolution TFT-LCD display module. Its typical brightness is 400 cd/m² (some sources indicate 430 cd/m²), with a contrast ratio of 800:1, and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. This panel also uses WLED backlight with a lifespan of 30,000 hours and is equipped with an LVDS interface. Regarding power consumption, the panel's logic circuit has a typical power consumption of about 0.4W, maximum 0.45W; the backlight part consumes more, with literature recording PLED (LED backlight unit power consumption) as 6.0W or 6.12W. Therefore, its total power consumption is estimated to be between 6.4W and 6.57W.

AMT9542 Resistive Touchscreen

Vibration Resistance 1.5G (14.7 m/s²) 1.5G (14.7 m/s²) Same
Touch Solution AMT9509 (4-wire Resistive) Typically requires separate sourcing BOE (LEEHON provides integrated solution)

Performance Analysis and Cost-Benefit Considerations

As seen from the table, AUO G104STN01.0 has advantages in brightness, operating temperature range, and backlight lifespan. However, BOE BA104S01-300 performs better in contrast ratio (usually meaning better image sharpness and text readability) and, crucially, power consumption. The BOE solution's total power consumption is significantly lower than the AUO model, which means considerable energy cost savings in long-term operation, especially in factory environments with a large number of HMI devices.

The cost-benefit advantage of the BOE solution is mainly reflected in the balance between its lower initial procurement cost (this is a common market perception, specific details need confirmation with LEEHON Technology) and significant operating energy savings. Although AUO G104STN01.0 has a longer rated backlight lifespan (50,000 hours versus 30,000 hours), for textile machinery that does not operate 24/7, or for customers more sensitive to initial investment, the 30,000-hour backlight lifespan of BOE BA104S01-300 (equivalent to nearly 7 years of use if operated 12 hours a day) may be sufficient. In this case, its lower purchase price and power savings of approximately 1.8W per hour will make its total cost of ownership more attractive.

Furthermore, the integrated solution of BOE BA104S01-300 with AMT9509 resistive touchscreen provided by LEEHON Technology offers customers a proven, out-of-the-box HMI module, simplifying the selection and integration process.

Touch Solution AMT9542 (4-wire Resistive) Typically requires separate sourcing BOE (LEEHON provides integrated solution)

Performance Analysis and Cost-Benefit Considerations

At the 12.1-inch level, AUO G121XN01 V0 outperforms BOE BA121S01-200 in several key specifications (resolution, brightness, operating temperature range, backlight lifespan). The main advantages of the BOE model are its higher contrast ratio and significantly lower power consumption.

Therefore, the cost-benefit argument for BOE BA121S01-200 largely depends on the highly competitive procurement price that LEEHON Technology can offer. If the customer's application scenario does not have a strict requirement for XGA resolution, SVGA (800x600) on a 12.1-inch screen may be sufficiently clear for many textile machinery control interfaces. Under this "good enough" principle, the low cost and low power consumption characteristics of the BOE solution will highlight its value. Not all applications require the highest specification parameters; if the HMI task is mainly to display relatively simple information and control buttons, the higher pixels and brightness of the AUO model may not bring additional value commensurate with its cost. LEEHON Technology's professional team can assist customers in evaluating their actual needs to select the most suitable and economical solution.
