  • Patent number: 11199830
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an operating system for a machine of a food industry. The operating system includes eyeglasses for a user of the operating system and a transceiver for exchanging data between the operating system and the machine. The eyeglasses include a display system configured to display a control element and information of a human machine interface (HMI). Furthermore, the operating system includes at least one input module which receives user input from the user with respect to the control element. The operating system additionally includes a processing module. The processing module converts the received user input into an input signal for controlling at least one of the machine or the HMI.

  • Patent number: 10534357
    Abstract: The application relates to a device for a machine in the beverage industry, comprising an HMI for user input of control commands for the machine. The device is configured to be connectable to an external control module via a wireless communication connection. The device can then exchange an HMI data record with the external control module by use of this wireless connection. The device can receive at least one HMI data record from the external control module, said data record comprising data or parameters for configuring the HMI. Furthermore, at least one HMI data set can be transferred from the HMI to the external control module and comprise data or parameters for evaluation or storage by the external control module. The device can be a separate module of the machine and can accordingly be connected to the HMI, communicate with the HMI, or at least control the HMI.
