Why Create MyHMI /Automotive?

Your powertrain line brings together machines from many suppliers, each with its own operator interface, hardware and diagnostic concept.

Create MyHMI /Automotive is the first HMI that unites the SIMATIC and SINUMERIK worlds. Built on TIA Portal and WinCC Unified, it gives every machine the same interface concept: a header, footer and favorites side bar that are always visible, and full freedom to add your own screens on top.

Standardization that shortens training

  • One and the same interface on PLC and CNC machines and across your suppliers.  
  • Operators, service and maintenance work to the same logic on every machine, so training pays off line-wide.

Consistency that harmonizes engineering

  • PLC program and HMI live in one TIA Portal project, core screens come ready to use in 14 languages, and the project downloads straight to the target device.

Interface familiarity that reduces downtime

  • Machines behave predictably and diagnostics for components, drives and motor starters are built in, so faults are found and cleared faster. 

Featured capabilities

Integration of future AI technologies

Create MyHMI /Automotive provides a future ready platform for Machines in Automotive Applications, enabling integration of future AI technologies e.g. “Eigen Engineering Agent” within the Siemens Industrial Ecosystem.

For machine builders

  • Cover different machine types with one project: the menu adapts to each machine and shows only relevant functions.
  • Core functions are already included, so your engineering time goes into the screens that make your machine special.
  • Work the modern TIA Portal way: team engineering, version tracking, modular software units and easy upgrades.

For end customers and operators

  • The same interface on every machine makes daily operation simpler and reduces training effort.
  • View production status: shift planning, workpiece and tool life, dashboards and energy data, connected to MES via OPC UA.
  • Your corporate design and machine-specific screens fit in without leaving the standard.

The operating interface and production screens

  • Always-visible header with machine status and alarms.
  • Always-visible footer with key controls. Favorites side bar for quick access to frequent screens.
  • Matrix navigation groups functions so any screen is only a few clicks away, with access controlled by the PLC.
  • Dashboard, shift planner, workpiece manager, tool life monitor, manual operation and energy functions are ready to use.

Flexible diagnostics, engineering and hardware support

Diagnostic screens 

  • Integrated system, SINAMICS drive and motor starter diagnostics, plus a service menu for maintenance.

Engineering package 

  • Core functions come as versioned TIA instructions with matching HMI screens for fast setup and easy updates.

Runs on your hardware 

  • Runs on SIMATIC S7-1500 or SINUMERIK ONE, with the same look and feel on IPC, Unified Comfort Panel, ITC and mobile panels.
