Industrial HMI workstation · SCADA and DCS ready · process control HMI for non-hazardous environments
A rugged mobile HMI that gives operators SCADA and DCS access wherever the process is. Stainless steel housing, ingress protection rated, wireless. Hot-swap batteries are designed for continuous shift operation. Built for chemical, energy, water and food and beverage process plants in non-hazardous areas.
Trusted in regulated manufacturing environments worldwide
Introduction
A process control workstation is an HMI terminal that operators wheel onto the plant floor. SCADA and DCS sessions stay live at the point of work, so nobody walks back to the control room to check a trend or acknowledge an alarm. The same chassis runs as a SCADA workstation or a DCS workstation across non-hazardous process areas.
The hardware is stainless steel, ingress protection rated, with hot-swap batteries. This is a different product from the cleanroom version: it is built for plants, not aseptic suites. Ruggedness and shop-floor durability matter more here than particle counts.
Why Kinetic-ID
Not retrofitted from medical or office hardware. Engineered specifically for cGMP, GMP, and ISO Class environments.
Lithium battery system — two 500 Wh packs designed for continuous shift operation. Battery exchange in approximately 5 minutes, planned around natural workflow breaks.
Active deployments across Emerson DeltaV, Werum PAS-X, LabVantage, Siemens Opcenter, Rockwell FactoryTalk, and more.
Material certificates, welding procedure specifications, and validation documentation issued with every unit.

NHS fleets in continuous service since 2019. 5-year Kinetic-Power warranty. Designed for decade-plus operational lifespans.
The problem
Every walk back to a fixed terminal is time away from the process. Operators lose 20–30 minutes per shift to the back-and-forth, and slow response to alarms means wasted product.
Retrofitting fixed terminals into wet, dusty, or remote process areas is expensive and often impractical. And in food or water plants, trailing cables are a contamination and trip risk that never goes away.
By the time an operator reaches a terminal and drills into a trend, the deviation is already downstream. In continuous processes, that's lost yield, wasted energy, and missed schedule.

FAQ
Anything your control system exposes through a browser or thin client will run on the workstation. Current deployments include AVEVA Wonderware, Siemens WinCC, Rockwell FactoryTalk View, Ignition, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, and Yokogawa CENTUM VP. At the data layer, OPC-UA and MQTT are supported. Kinetic-ID does not host or process your process data; it stays inside your network.
The standard chassis is ingress protection rated for dust and water spray, which covers most water treatment, food and beverage, and chemical process work. If your site needs a higher rating or a specific wash-down protocol, say so in the consultation and we'll confirm what's achievable.
The cart uses two 500 Wh Li-ion battery packs. Battery exchange takes approximately 5 minutes and requires removing access screws from the underside of the cart. Plan exchanges for shift changes or natural workflow breaks rather than mid-task — the brief operational pause is best treated as a scheduled handover rather than an interruption.
Standard configurations ship in 6–8 weeks from order confirmation. Custom configurations (specific peripheral bundles, branded fascia, non-standard screen sizes) add 2–4 weeks. Every unit ships with CE/UKCA conformity documentation.
Yes. Get an ID-Flow unit on site to evaluate against your operational and validation requirements. Typical pilots run around 30 days, though we’ll work with your team on the right timeline. Site survey, setup support and IQ/OQ documentation are included.
Yes — for non-hazardous chemical process areas. The 304L stainless chassis is compatible with standard solvent and caustic cleaning protocols. Material traceability documentation is provided on request. The workstation is not intended for hazardous (ATEX-classified) zones.
