It will become mandatory as of January 14, 2027 – introducing new requirements that affect many aspects of machinery and plant engineering. ![Black-and-white drawing of a frog holding the new Machinery Regulation 2027 in its hands.](https://www.alphagate.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/frosch-banner-2.png?width=521&height=101&name=frosch-banner-2.png) ## Changes Particularly relevant in this context are the HMI systems. Here's a brief overview of the most important changes: ### Cybersecurity - Protection against unauthorized access (e.g., through user rights, encryption) - Safety-critical functions must not be manipulable – even via remote access ### AI & Adaptive Systems - Self-learning or adaptive systems must remain transparent and controllable - Humans must retain control at all times ### Digital Operating Manuals - Digital manuals via the HMI are permitted - Safety-relevant content must also be available offline and kept up to date ### Documentation - Functions, safety measures, and software updates must be fully documented - HMIs are part of the safety-relevant overall system ### Ergonomics & Usability - Intuitive operation is explicitly required - Good UX will be a future safety requirement ### Updates & Remote Access - Updates must be traceable and carried out securely - Remote access is allowed – but only with clear safety precautions ![Black-and-white drawing of two frogs looking together at the new Machinery Regulation 2027.](https://www.alphagate.eu/hs-fs/hubfs/frosch-banner-5.png?width=521&height=101&name=frosch-banner-5.png) ## What does this mean for you specifically? Many existing HMIs need to be adapted to the new requirements – this involves not only compliance with standards, but also aspects such as ease of use, transparency, and future-proofing. We’re happy to support you. As an experienced partner in mechanical engineering, we provide hands-on support to our clients – with a focus on human-machine interaction, modern software architectures, and standards-compliant interface design. Important: We are not certified CE or legal consultants – but we have extensive experience to support you in interpreting and technically implementing the new requirements as effectively as possible. ## What we can do for you - Analysis and assessment of your existing HMI solutions - Evaluation of the impact of the new regulation - Development of suitable, compliant, and user-friendly HMIs - Support in coordinating with engineering, CE, IT, and software teams Now is the right time to take action. We would be happy to present our approach to you in a personal meeting.
