Marel
From legacy HMI to a modern web platform with minimal impact on operations
Leap Solutions partnered with JBT Marel to modernise a legacy industrial HMI system (Human Machine Interface) by upgrading it to a modern, web-based user interface. The original solution was built on an outdated platform that was no longer supported or available, which created the need for a future-proof replacement.
The project involved migrating the existing operator interface to a browser-based frontend developed in Vue. The goal was to keep the familiar workflows and visual design that operators rely on in daily operations.
Based on a detailed analysis of screens, signals and control logic, Leap Solutions recreated the user interface in a modern architecture. The solution was continuously validated against the existing system using parallel test environments, to ensure the same functionality and user experience.
The result was a near 1:1 migration that kept the need for operator retraining to a minimum, while the company gained a flexible, maintainable and future-proof platform. This kind of HMI modernisation, where legacy industrial systems are replaced with modern web-based user interfaces, is one of Leap Solutions’ core competencies. We have delivered this transformation successfully across a range of industrial projects.
