HMIelite's technology allows to create fully customized right zones and integrate them into the HMI. In this way, it is possible to tailor the interface to the user's needs and therefore, operator tasks become easier and more effective.
In the following manual it's explained step by step the whole process for creating personalized page zones, using the EDK (elite Developer Kit).
The first step is to install the elite Developer Kit (EDK) — a complete set of tools and example projects designed to help developers create custom applications for HMIelite. The kit includes libraries, development utilities, and ready-to-use sample code that simplify and speed up the software creation process. In summary, the EDK is the essential toolkit for extending and customizing HMIelite.

This section represents the core of the process. The EDK provides access to the API and the component library, enabling you to design both the logic and the user interface of your page zone.
In the following links, you’ll find advanced documentation on how to use the proprietary API to build your own page zone, as well as an EDK repository with example projects. Please note that a basic understanding of programming languages (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) is recommended to make the most of these tools.
Throughout the customization process, it is advisable to regularly install and test your product — either in the HMIelite simulator of your PC or directly on real CNC.
With the elite Developer Kit, you can easily deploy your application remotely for rapid testing and validation, significantly streamlining the development process.
