It’s the first thing operators touch and the first thing they blame when something goes sideways. A laggy screen, a clunky interface, or a panel that can’t talk to the rest of your system can freeze your machine mid-shift. Introducing, the new [Autonics TP Series](https://www.wolfautomation.com/products/hmi/?_bc_fsnf=1&Series=TP+Series) touchscreen panels are fast, flexible, and tough enough for the plant floor, and they don’t need a lot of hand-holding. **Small Screen, Big Brain** **![Autonics\_TP\_Series\_Fast\_Thinking](https://blog.wolfautomation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Autonics_TP_Series_Fast_Thinking.png?width=453&height=302&name=Autonics_TP_Series_Fast_Thinking.png)** Under the hood, the TP series has a [quad-core processor](https://amazeassets.bluemeteor.com/amaze-digital-asset/prod/actualAssets/WOLF/0b18b218-cd83-494b-ace8-7838e69495bd.pdf). Translation: it thinks fast. Screens load quickly, and the panel keeps up when your machine gets busy. It also comes in three sizes, 4.3", 7", and 10.1". Tight on space? Go small. Need to see a lot at once? Go big. You can pick the size that fits your machine, instead of having to rework the machine to fit the screen. [All three sizes](https://www.wolfautomation.com/products/hmi/?_bc_fsnf=1&Series=TP+Series) have a bright, full-color display and weigh less than a kilogram. The backlight is rated for more than 50,000 hours, so it should outlast most coffee machines. **It Plays Well With Others** Every machine has its own cast of characters: [PLCs](https://www.wolfautomation.com/products/plcs-and-smart-relays/), [drives,](http://wolfautomation.com/products/plcs-and-smart-relays/) [controllers](https://www.wolfautomation.com/products/temperature-process-controllers/), and sometimes a mystery box nobody remembers installing. The TP series supports more than 400 communication protocols, so it can talk to almost all of them. It’s the coworker who gets along with everyone, and every plant needs one. **![Autonics\_TP\_Connects\_Everything](https://blog.wolfautomation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Autonics_TP_Connects_Everything.png?width=1536&height=1024&name=Autonics_TP_Connects_Everything.png)** **Check In From Anywhere** The TP series also lets you view and control the screen from a PC or mobile device. Something weird going on with the machine? You can take a look without making the long walk across the plant. Your steps-per-day count may go down, but so will your downtime. **Built for the Messy Stuff** Plants aren’t clean, quiet showrooms. The [TP series](https://www.wolfautomation.com/products/hmi/?_bc_fsnf=1&Series=TP+Series)has an IP66-rated front, which is a fancy way of saying it can take dust and moisture without breaking a sweat. It’s ready for the dirty, dusty, and damp corners of your facility. **Design Your Screens Without the Headaches** Autonics also offers [atDesigner-TP](https://www.autonics.com/us/service/data/view/119/479078), a design software built just for the TP series. You can drag, drop, and build your screens, then run a test on your computer before you ever touch the machine. That means no more finding out something’s wrong when everyone is standing around watching. **The Bottom Line** A great HMI is one you barely notice. It loads fast, works with your equipment, survives a rough day, and lets you check in without leaving your desk. The Autonics TP series checks all those boxes, in a size that fits your machine.
