HMI

When CTC opened its doors in 1980, factory floor automation was just starting an exciting revolution. CTC was a pioneer in that revolution, providing the industry with ground-breaking hardware and software products that helped take plant floor operations from simple/start buttons up to the sophisticated networked solutions found today. By providing the automation industry with these innovative human-to-machine (HMI) solutions for the plant floor, CTC certainly offered machine builders "The Shortest Distance Between Man and Machine".

News Update:

We began the year with the release of InteractX, an innovative Windows-embedded HMI system engineered specifically for the machine builder. Developed by Compumotor’s CTC business unit, InteractX features revolutionary graphics and powerfull tools for machine control. For more details on InteractX, log on to www.ctcusa.com.
