New 6 Inch Touchscreen HMI priced as low as $285
Euro Reps launches its "First Time Buyers" programme, a unique promotion to introduce Maple Systems products to the European market, with a low priced HMI
Matching project needs and required features, yet with a price tag of less than E1000 or GBP685 for a 10" touchscreen HMI, and as low as E270/GBP184 for a 6" touchscreen model, Maple Systems sets the mark for cost-effective, and solid, control system design.
Surely any modern HMI needs to meet the general user needs in terms of "easy programming", reliability and feature richness.
However a growing number of HMI suppliers seem to follow a trend of jam-packing the HMI with each and any feature, regardless of relevancy, they can come up with.
The end result being that "easy programming" turns out not to be all that easy and the user, although paying for a feature packed model, actually only uses just those features required for the task at hand.
Understandably the supplier, justifying the product price tag upon the great number (or in most cases; the overkill) of features the unit offers, is happy with this trend.
Over 25 years of Operator Interface/HMI experience is expressed in all of the Maple Systems products.
As experts in this field we know what the user wants and needs, we also know the budget-pressure.
What makes us so special? Our HMIs fit not only your needs but also your cost budget.
We believe that there is no reason why the operator interface should be one of the most costly parts of your control system.
We offer the right HMI, at the right price.
