Implementation of HMI Using VISUAL BASIC .NET for Induction Hardening Process

In Industrial Automation, the use of HMI for the monitoring of process nowadays has increased with the increment in competition. But due to the high cost, some industries cannot afford it. So to make it affordable development of HMI using Visual Basics .NET has been introduced. Traditional HMI provides many functionalities, but at a higher cost. But with Visual Basic. NET we can afford the same task in manner. The designed view of VB based HMI is in proportion with a view of the automation process in real time, saves troubleshooting time of faults and helps in safety purpose. Small-scale industries now can implement HMI as a major part of automation to visualize processes without giving others life at the dangerous environment and can detect faults easily. This paper represents an implementation of HMI of induction hardening process using VB.NET.
