Shanghai Jinghang’s HMI (Human-Machine Interface) product series, developed based on Raspberry Pi, is specifically designed for industrial scenarios. Its high reliability, environmental adaptability, and intelligent features significantly enhance the stability and efficiency of industrial automation systems. Below is an analysis of its core features and their roles in the industrial field, along with specific product parameter analysis:
Industrial Features and Functions
High Brightness and High-Temperature Resistance
Function: In environments with direct sunlight or high temperatures (such as steel and photovoltaic production lines), the screen remains clearly visible, ensuring operators can read data in real-time.
Example: All products have a brightness of ≥400 cd/m² (e.g., ED-HMI2002-070C), with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, suitable for extreme environments.
Dust and Water Resistance (IP Rating)
Function: The fully enclosed fanless design (aluminum alloy + sheet metal shell) prevents dust (such as in cement plants) or liquids (in food processing) from entering, reducing failure rates.
Fanless Design
Function: Prevents dust accumulation in fans leading to cooling failures, suitable for long-term operation (such as 24-hour automated production lines), while also reducing noise.
Supercapacitor Safe Shutdown
Function: Provides instant power during power outages (such as grid fluctuations) to save data and shut down normally, preventing system crashes or data loss (such as in chemical DCS systems).
4G Reconnection
Function: In remote areas (such as oil fields and mines), the system automatically reconnects after network interruptions during 4G remote monitoring, ensuring the SCADA system remains online.
Selection Recommendations
Shanghai Jinghang’s HMI product line is developed based on the Raspberry Pi technology platform, positioned as industrial-grade human-machine interaction solutions, aimed at providing high-performance, high-reliability control interfaces for industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing, building control, and other fields. As an official design partner of Raspberry Pi, the founding team of Shanghai Jinghang has collaborated with Raspberry Pi since 2012, supporting the successful production and global launch of the first generation Raspberry Pi in China, accumulating rich experience in embedded system development.
Basic Control: HMI2002 series (high cost-performance, general scenarios).
Harsh Environments: HMI3630 (high brightness, wide temperature range, suitable for outdoor/high-temperature use).
Protocol Expansion: HMI2630 (CAN bus support, automotive/transportation industry).

These products address the pain points of traditional HMIs in terms of stability and environmental adaptability, making them particularly suitable for critical fields such as intelligent manufacturing, energy, and transportation.
Industrial Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing Applications
In Shanghai Jinghang’s product ecosystem, HMIs work alongside PLCs, motion control systems, and more to form a complete industrial automation solution. In these applications, HMI products not only provide an operating interface but also play a key role in data visualization and system monitoring. Through CODESYS WebVisu technology, HMIs can achieve seamless communication with PLCs, ensuring real-time data transmission and efficient operation. For example, in intelligent manufacturing production lines, operators can monitor equipment status, adjust parameters, and obtain production data statistics in real-time through HMIs, significantly improving production management efficiency.
