Extend With Confidence
With HELIO, you can customize and extend your HMI projects without modifying the stable software core. HELIO is designed to grow with your needs – securely, modularly, and with future-proofing in mind.
Extensibility includes custom controls and logic, interactive graphics and custom designs and themes.
Features
HELIO is a program for creating intuitive user interfaces, not a layout, graphics, or programming tool. To allow you to continue working with your familiar programs and using their features, we designed HELIO to easily integrate externally created components such as code, graphics, and designs. This way, HMIs created with HELIO become highly customized interfaces tailored to your exact needs.
Programming Custom Controls & Logic
Use our SDK based on TypeScript and React to develop custom controls and functions. You can rely on your familiar standard tools like VS Code.
Find out everything about the HELIO SDK in our documentation: See what you can build with the SDK, learn about what you'll need and learn about how to build extensions using the SDK guide.
Interface Design Custom Designs & Themes
Design the user interface exactly according to your specifications or corporate identity guidelines. Our design services and the integration of Figma allow for the seamless implementation of professional themes.
HELIO interfaces can be fully customised to create HMIs that are 100% tailored to your company. HELIO's tailor-made interface design turns products into perfect ambassadors for the corporate brand.
Illustration Interactive graphics
Bring your visualizations to life. Use familiar graphics tools like Inkscape, Figma, or Adobe Illustrator to create SVGs that can dynamically respond to data and be interactively controlled in HELIO.
HELIO can help you add more dynamics to your images. You can use it to show the status of a part of your machine within an illustration or to emphasize certain parts of your illustration. See our How-To-Video for reference.
“Simply use the tools you know and are comfortable with. Integrating the results is seamless and allows for maximum flexibility when creating your HMIs.”
