Effective operator performance is essential for ensuring the safety and optimisation of the control systems. Good design allows the operator to focus on the most critical information, making the right decisions and then acting on those decisions. We conduct a thorough analysis of the technical and user needs and design the HMI to meet these needs.
Our expert team:
- uses recognised analysis techniques to understand the users’ information needs in different operational scenarios
- combines these with industry standards to specify the operator span of control and detailed requirement for information presentation
- supports the design by enhancing:
- Structure and navigation, to facilitate fast access to information
- Visual presentation, to facilitate recognition and interpretation
- Alarm handling and management
- performs compliance reviews against relevant standards
- tests the design with operators to identify design issues and enhance information presentation
We work with many industry standards including:
