Industrial automation demands solutions that balance cost, quality, and reliability. Australian businesses in sectors like water treatment, manufacturing, HVAC, food processing, pump systems, and utilities often face challenges finding technology that meets these needs without breaking the budget. ProSense Automation addresses this gap by sourcing global technology that delivers exceptional value while maintaining high standards of performance and durability. The launch of the Coolmay TK Series True-Colour HMI perfectly reflects this commitment, offering a powerful, affordable option for modern industrial control.
Global Technology with Local Value
ProSense Automation carefully selects technology from around the world that fits the specific needs of Australian industries. The goal is to provide products that combine low cost with high quality, ensuring businesses can upgrade their automation systems without sacrificing reliability. This approach suits a wide range of applications:
Water treatment plants needing stable, easy-to-use interfaces
Manufacturing lines requiring fast, responsive control panels
HVAC systems that benefit from clear, real-time monitoring
Food processing facilities demanding hygienic, dependable equipment
Pump systems and utilities where uptime is critical
By focusing on proven technology that offers excellent performance at a competitive price, ProSense helps businesses improve efficiency and reduce downtime.
The TK Series Hardware Advantage
At the heart of the Coolmay TK Series is a 408 MHz industrial-grade CPU. This processor delivers performance comparable to much more expensive units, enabling fast screen response, smooth graphics, and high stability. The hardware architecture is designed for efficiency, which keeps the price dramatically lower than equivalent brands without compromising on quality.
This means users get:
Quick, lag-free screen updates
Clear, vibrant true-colour displays for better data visualisation
Reliable operation in demanding industrial environments
The TK Series provides a cost-effective path to modern HMI capabilities, allowing businesses to upgrade their systems with confidence.
Built-in PLC Functionality Cuts Costs
One standout feature of the TK Series is its built-in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) functionality. This allows the HMI to execute control logic directly, reducing the need for separate PLC units. The benefits include:
Fewer components in the control system
Lower wiring complexity and costs
Simplified maintenance and troubleshooting
This compact control solution is ideal for regional installations, OEM machinery, and small to medium industrial operators who want advanced automation without the expense of multiple devices. For example, a regional water treatment plant can use the TK Series to monitor and control pumps and valves with a single unit, saving on hardware and installation time.
Cloud Platform Support for Remote Management
The TK Series supports cloud platforms, bringing features usually reserved for high-end industrial devices to budget-friendly projects. This capability allows businesses to:
Monitor equipment remotely
Collect and analyse operational data
Receive alarm notifications instantly
Manage equipment more efficiently
For example, a manufacturing plant can track machine performance from a central office or offsite location, reducing the need for on-site visits and speeding up response times to issues. This remote access capability helps businesses improve uptime and reduce operational costs.
Advanced Software with mView 1.38.02
The TK Series runs on the mView 1.38.02 software platform, which offers a range of features designed to simplify HMI design and operation:
Drag-and-drop design tools for easy project setup
Multi-language support for diverse workforces
RS485 intelligent re-online for stable communication
Engineering value conversion for flexible data handling
Event and time scheduling for automated control
Multi-protocol communication including Modbus, free-port, and TCP/IP
Password and permission protection for secure access
Tag import/export to streamline project management
Gesture-based navigation for intuitive user interaction
These features make the TK Series a powerful tool for creating tailored automation solutions that meet specific operational needs.
Practical Benefits for Australian Industries
The Coolmay TK Series offers clear advantages for Australian businesses looking to modernise their automation systems:
Cost savings through lower hardware and wiring expenses
Improved reliability with industrial-grade components
Simplified control by combining HMI and PLC functions
Remote monitoring to reduce downtime and maintenance costs
User-friendly software that speeds up deployment and reduces training time
For example, a food processing facility can use the TK Series to control temperature and humidity with precise timing and receive alerts remotely if conditions fall outside safe ranges. This reduces waste and ensures product quality without requiring expensive control systems.
