By Portable HMI, we mean mobile operating solutions that are ideal for dynamic working environments where freedom of movement, safety, and responsiveness are crucial.
The application examples and fields of application range from control panels and control units for robotic applications and machines in the production environment to construction machinery in the road sector and medical control components in hospitals and doctors’ offices.
Portable HMI solutions from RAFI enable mobile control of machines and systems in real time. They combine displays, touch functionality, and operating elements in portable or removable units that can be operated wired or wirelessly.
The portable systems are designed for ergonomic operation and user-friendliness. They are designed to function reliably even in harsh industrial environments while offering maximum safety and efficiency.
The modular design makes it possible to precisely tailor functionality, dimensions, and design to the respective target application. This gives customers a high degree of scalability, shorter development cycles, and an optimal balance between preassembled standard components and customized solutions.
RAFI leverages its technology platforms for portable HMI solutions. Their use shortens project lead times, reduces development effort (NRE), and enhances quality through proven modules.

Its customers include leading international companies. Below you will find several projects on portable HMI solutions that we have successfully implemented with our customers.
+ Maximum flexibility and mobility
Operators can move freely around the working environment to check, configure, and position machines directly, increasing efficiency and process reliability in complex production systems.
+ Ergonomics and safety
The devices are lightweight, shock-resistant, and designed to withstand industrial conditions. Many models feature integrated emergency power off functions and support wireless connectivity to eliminate tripping hazards.
+ Compact and space-saving
In modern, modular machine concepts, portable HMIs offer a space-saving alternative to stationary control units, combining full functionality with minimal installation effort.
+ Simplicity and versatility
A mobile HMI can be used for several machines, even across different manufacturers, reducing training and maintenance costs and simplifying the system landscape considerably.
+ Increased efficiency and time savings
Maintenance and adjustment work can be carried out directly on site. Information and parameters are immediately available, reducing downtime and shortening response times.
