PC-DMIS Simplified Operator Interface (SOI) Survey

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has some existing Simplified Operator Interface (SOI) products that are designed to work with PC-DMIS on the shop floor.

These include
PC-DMIS Operator Mode
STI (Single Touch Interface)
PC-DMIS Protected Mode
Custom Front Ends
We would like to better understand how a Simplified Operator Interface (SOI) product meets the changing requirements in the modern world.

Aside from what we currently offer, we also see great value in getting important information to the operators in the most efficient way possible, and we would also like to explore these improvements as part of this initiative.

This survey includes 23 questions, none are required so skip the ones that don’t apply. This survey typically takes 10 minutes to complete.
