In the segments of Material Processing & Additive Manufacturing (Plastics Processing, Metalworking, 3D Printer), Automation (Automated Production and Manufacturing Processes, Industrial HMI), and Industrial Robotics & Autonomous Systems (Industrial, Collaborative, Mobile & Service Robots, Autonomous Vehicles), we have long-standing project partnerships with companies around the world.
As an experienced partner who knows the dynamic requirements of the automation and robotics industry inside and out, RAFI delivers Human Machine Interface solutions that not only control but also optimize your systems – from intuitive operation and precise process control to robust, future-proof overall integration.
In an era characterized by Industry 4.0, highly automated production and intensive human-robot collaboration, intuitive, safe, and robust HMI are the decisive factor for productivity and competitiveness.
Whether at a robot cell, for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), or in a central control room: our flexible operating concepts combine touch, high-resolution displays, tactile switches, and ergonomic joysticks. The result: less training, more precise inputs, and a significant increase in your productivity and operating safety in highly automated environments.
Companies worldwide rely on RAFI’s expertise and many years of experience. These partnerships are based on successful collaboration, consistently high quality, and rigorous compliance – qualities that characterize us as a reliable supplier and development partner.
+ Robustness and durability for continuous industrial use
Automated production environments place the highest demands on the resilience of components. HMI solutions from RAFI are designed for exceptional durability: they withstand millions of operating cycles and are resistant to dust, oil, chemicals and mechanical stress. This uncompromising reliability minimizes maintenance work, reduces downtime, and thus guarantees maximum productivity for your systems.
+ Perfect integration through customized systems and vertical integration
Your machines are unique, so your HMI solutions should be too. We go beyond the standard and develop customized panels that fit seamlessly into the design of your machines, the specific control architecture, and your OEM branding. Thanks to our deep vertical integration – from development to production – we offer you customized solutions that are not only technically impressive but also give your machines unique features.
+ Smart connectivity for the Industry 4.0 strategy
Networked production requires intelligent communication solutions. Our HMI solutions are ready for the future: with certified wireless technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and LTE, we enable flexible and secure communication. This is ideal for mobile operating fields, wireless control of Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) or remote monitoring of robot fleets. Benefit from increased agility and easy scalability.
+ Functional safety & cybersecurity at the highest level
In automation and robotics, the safety of man and machine is non-negotiable. RAFI integrates comprehensive expertise in functional safety (ISO 13849) and cybersecurity (IEC 62443) into every HMI solution. Our safety-certified operating elements, such as emergency power off switches and secure input devices, reliably protect your employees and critical production processes from malfunctions and external threats, ensuring maximum availability and compliance.
