HMI Display Design Best Practice Workshop
Comprehensive workshop reviewing the ANSI/ISA 101.01-2015 HMI Standard covering best practices for HMI design for improving situational awareness. Reviews recommended display hierarchy (L1, L2, L3, and L4 displays), graphical element consistency, alarm management, and data visualization techniques, ensuring that operators can quickly and accurately interpret critical information. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, attendees will gain the skills needed to design HMIs that improve safety, reduce errors, and support optimal plant performance.
Human Machine Interface (HMI) Philosophy and Style Guide Development
Comprehensive framework and guidelines for designing and managing HMIs in industrial control systems. Ensures consistency, usability, and safety by standardizing graphical elements, layouts, and alarm management practices. The result is intuitive, operator-centric HMIs that enhance situational awareness and operational efficiency.
Graphical Elements (GEMs) Library Development
Collection of reusable and standardized graphical components for HMI displays within DeltaV Live to ensure consistency and operator effectiveness. This process includes defining common graphical elements such as icons, data parameters, alarm indicators and status symbols, which can be combined to create more functional displays. The outcome is a collection of high-performance, fit for purpose GEMs that can be leveraged on any HMI graphic display to enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness.
L1, L2, L3, and L4 Graphic Design and Implementation
Creating and deploying L1, L2, L3, and L4 graphics for HMIs in industrial control systems. We provide high-level overviews (L1) for quick assessment of plant status, detailed views of specific process units (L2) for primary operations, in-depth subsystem details (L3) for troubleshooting, and support displays (L4) for additional diagnostic tools and analysis. This multi-level approach ensures operators have access to the right information at the right time, enhancing situational awareness, improving decision-making, and supporting efficient plant operations.
Conversion and Modernization Services
Assessing current systems, planning and executing upgrades, and ensuring minimal downtime during transitions to newer technologies and standards. Addresses issues such as equipment obsolescence, safety challenges, and the need for improved diagnostics, analytics, security, and connectivity. Enhances operational efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and improves overall system reliability.
Non-Intrusive Simulated Testing
DeltaV Live HMI graphic testing leveraging the actual control strategies with non-intrusive tie-back models to validate the graphics configuration before site installation. This approach reduces the potential for errors, provides a level of operator training and interaction to and ensure system performance and operational safety.
Training Services
Equips operators, engineers, and maintenance staff with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively use DeltaV Live with the High Performance and enhanced HMI graphic displays to improve acceptance and team capabilities.
Start-up Support
Installation and start-up services of the new HMI process graphics to ensure functionality and plant process readiness.
