Pre-Built HMI Framework for Industrial Equipment

Building custom HMIs typically costs $20K-$60K in frontend labor. Gnoke Station is a GPL-licensed framework with 20+ professional UI templates you can customize instead of building from scratch.

✓ Free Software, Real Savings

The Software: 100% free (GPL-3.0) • The Savings: 3-9 months of UI development labor you don't pay for • What You Still Need: Backend/HAL engineering for your equipment • Optional: Paid consulting for complex integrations

What You're Actually Saving

The labor cost of building custom UI frameworks from scratch

Building HMI From Scratch

$30K - $80K Frontend Labor
  • Custom C++/Qt/Embedded framework development
  • Specialized UI/UX engineering talent required
  • 6-18 month UI development cycles
  • High maintenance burden for custom code

Using Gnoke Station Templates

$5K - $20K Integration Labor
  • Standard web technologies (HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
  • Web developers can customize templates
  • 2-6 week template customization cycles
  • Clear separation: UI templates + your HAL backend
Example: A packaging equipment manufacturer needed an HMI for their filling machine. Instead of spending $45K over 6 months building Qt interfaces, they customized our template in 3 weeks (~$15K labor) and integrated with their existing PLC backend.

Integration Example: 15 Minutes

Here's a complete backend for a Power Distribution template:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();

let breakers = { Main:"OFF", AC:"OFF", Lights:"OFF" };

app.get('/api/powerdb/status', (req, res) => {
  res.json({
    voltage: 230, current: 12.5, power: 2.8,
    freq: 50.0, pf: 0.97, kwh: 1250,
    grid: true, status: "OK"
  });
});

app.post('/api/powerdb/breaker', (req, res) => {
  breakers[req.body.breaker] = req.body.state;
  console.log(`Breaker ${req.body.breaker} -> ${req.body.state}`);
  res.json({ ok: true, breakers });
});

app.listen(3000, () => 
  console.log("HAL PowerDB running on :3000")
);

Deploy in 15 minutes: Copy this code, replace mock data with calls to your Modbus/PLC/sensors, run it alongside the frontend. That's your complete HMI.

What You Provide (Backend Integration)

Connection Methods We Support

  • REST API - HTTP endpoints (most common)
  • WebSocket - Real-time bidirectional
  • MQTT - IoT standard messaging
  • Modbus TCP - Industrial PLCs

Your Backend Stack (Your Choice)

  • Python, Node.js, Go, C++, Java
  • Raspberry Pi, Industrial PC, PLC
  • Your existing hardware/sensors
  • No cloud required (local network)
Important: Gnoke Station provides the UI framework. You still need embedded systems engineering for hardware control (HAL backend). Uses your existing network infrastructure - zero recurring connectivity costs.
