Are you looking for a reliable and efficient way to build PC-based automation applications? Comfile Studio is a streamlined HMI and automation development platform designed to help you achieve fast results with exceptional stability. It is the ideal solution for engineers who need rapid development without sacrificing reliability.

Comfile Studio is built on the proven foundation of the ComfileHMI Editor, an HMI development kit originally released over 10 years ago. Through continuous improvements, upgrades, and real-world industrial feedback, it has evolved into a mature and highly stable development platform. Today, it is rigorously tested and actively used by many companies worldwide.

With the expansion to support Windows PC-based HMI and automation systems, the platform has been renamed Comfile Studio, reflecting its new capabilities beyond traditional embedded HMI environments.
