Sentinel’s GUI Builder (Graphical User Interface Builder) is a tool that enables the visual creation of graphical interfaces, including windows, buttons, menus and text fields, using a drag and drop approach.
Build industrial interfaces visually, quickly and fully tailored!
Applications Benefits
Each interface is designed to make the process simpler, faster and safer for line operators.
Design Mode vs Run Mode
In a machine vision system built with a GUI Builder, the separation between Design Mode and Run Mode is not just functional. It is a structural principle that ensures organization, safety and efficiency between the configuration phase and the operational phase.
Design Mode
Design Mode is the configuration and engineering environment of the system. This is where the graphical interface is built, visual components are organized and the connections between cameras, variables, vision algorithms and control elements are established.
º
In this mode, the focus is on architecture and logic. It allows layout testing, rule parameterization, data flow adjustment and integration validation without direct impact on production operation.
Run Mode
Run Mode corresponds to the system in real operation, typically in an industrial context. The interface reflects real time data, algorithms run continuously and results are presented to the operator.
~
Here, the priority is stability, performance and reliability. The system is no longer in configuration and instead supports operational decisions, quality control and continuous process monitoring.
Main functionalities
In each project, a fully tailored interface is created to meet specific requirements. The GUI Builder enables the creation and customization of screens in a simple and intuitive way through a drag and drop approach, using components such as buttons, labels, input fields and image viewers, while allowing quick adjustment of properties like color, size, text and position. This smooth visual experience accelerates development and reduces technical complexity. Its main functionalities include:
