Window manager

Integrate multiple applications within a single HMI with a cutting-edge windowing framework. Aside from modern UX aesthetics, this allows App development independent of toolchains, time schedules and suppliers.

Applications can be built with toolchains of choice, including Qt, CODESYS, and HTML5. Each application can be maintained separately, providing flexible life cycle management, where you can add and update Apps throughout the product’s deployment, without needing to make new releases of every application.

With Window Manager developers can design the HMI system and GUIs so that applications can adapt to fit task requirements, switching between predefined layouts as vehicles change operations. End users can be given the option to set their layout to suit their individual requirements.

Window Manager offers several levels of customization
Using the Window Manager in its default configuration requires minimal setup to control which applications to show and configure how they will be presented to the user.

Developers can easily customise interfaces through the adjustable options and properties, for example colour, margins, or background and creating a new configurator file. Customisations can also be created by defining complete custom QML components that replace the default options used to build the standard UI of the manager. To accomplish these changes there is no need to program with C++ code or rebuild the manager application.

For ease of getting started we recommend you contact one of our field application engineers or our sales organization to get more guidance about the principles behind the advanced configuration possibilities using components.
