What’s the problem of today?

Easy to put more information on the screen

Provide operators with lots of data

Easy to create alarms – operators get flooded

Graphics over substance

• 3D, realistic views

Difficult to identify issues

Operators are not as efficient as they could be.

Alarm presentation

With a glance, operators should be able to recognize which information they need to attend and what it

indicates.

Improves detection

Decreases cognitive workload

Increases speed of recognition

Provides intuitive, process-oriented views

Reduce information overload

Provide more information when it’s useful

Reflects the operator’s mental model

Enables quick, intuitive way-finding

Enables faster detection and understanding

Colors are distracting –no valuable information for

the operator!Use limited palette instead

Alarm presentation

• Process alarms mingled with

system alarms

• Criticality hard to determine

• Readability issues

• Easy to understand alarm

presentation

• Alarms colors & symbols as per ISA

Leverages HTML 5 technology

• What is it?

– HTML5 is the most current iteration of HTML, used for front-end web development

• Benefits

– A standard encompassing previous iterations – ensures interoperability

– Contents can be consumed on virtually any device:

• Browser, mobile, etc …

• Adjusts to any screen ratio & resolution

– Uses less bandwidth & faster than other technologies

– Longer battery life on mobile devices

Flexible assembly of graphical Contents

• Develop contents using iFIX & 3rd party editors

• Consume other GE / 3rd party contents as is

• Easily mix with business information

• Resolution independent

• Runs on any HTML5-compatible device (PC, Android, iOS, Mac, Linux, …)
