  • Up Your Productivity and Safety with High Performance HMI Design—White Paper

    In 2015, when the ISA-101 HMI Design Standard was published, it provided overall design guidance and a workflow for developing and managing HMI systems, including change management, and a framework for order for HMI. While the standard significantly improved the day-to-day operations of HMIs, the focus now needs to shift to operator efficiency and creating screens for situational awareness and operator tasks. In addition…

  • Up Your Productivity and Safety with High Performance HMI Design—White Paper

    In the Texas City Oil Refinery disaster in 2015, 15 people were killed, 180 injured and $1.5bn of damage occurred. A significant contributing factor to the disaster? Poor HMI. The human machine interface was so bad, operators were unable to tell from the HMI that they were continuing to feed fuel into the fire. In that same year, the ISA-101 HMI Design Standard was published. Very concise, ISA-101 provides overall design…

  • Preparing for the Holistic Automation Future

    In their recent article in Plant Engineering , Emerson’s Claudio Fayad and Erik Lindhjem share that selecting plant control and reliability technologies is no longer a matter of convenience. Rather, project teams have shifted focus to delivering increased value across the technology lifecycle. The cloud, it seems, has changed everything. Plants today operate very differently than they did just ten years ago, and much…

  • Yes, You Can Reduce Your Plant’s Energy Costs Easily and Affordably

    While many functions in industrial plants are commonly automated, the tracking and management of energy remains a task frequently conducted manually. Workers move around with spreadsheets from machine to machine, attempting to capture some semblance of the energy being consumed in a procedure fraught with potential errors and with no way to capture real-time energy overages or to determine when and under what conditions…
