On Thursday August 6, 2015 8:15 AM EST, John Krajewski will be in Orlando, speaking at 2015 ISA Water / Wastewater Symposium. John will be talking about Situational Awareness in Industrial Human Machine Interface Design. Go out and learn about:
- The trends that are currently driving the needs of industrial HMI
- How the HMI should be designed to optimize the operator’s interpretation of the vast amount of data being displayed
- How can your operations team make effective decisions that will deliver overall business success
- And much more!
If you are in the area or will invest in yourself and make
the trip, you can register for this symposium at www.isawwsymposium.com
Come
on out, network, get your questions answered.
Symposium: 2015 ISA Water / Wastewater and
Automatic Controls Symposium
Date: August 4-6, 2015 – Orlando, Florida,
USA

Overview of the presentation:
The end users of modern industrial systems
are constantly searching for methods of improving the availability and
maximizing the efficiency of those systems without compromising the quality of
their offerings or safety of their operations teams. One of the areas where
improvements can have significant impacts in this pursuit is quite literally
staring them in the face; the human machine interface used to control and
operate these systems. By implementing improvements in the mechanisms used to
control and operate industrial systems, operations teams can significantly
improve both the business value and the safety of their industrial systems.
Over the past several decades the way people have interacted with industrial
systems has changed dramatically. These changes were driven by the needs of the
operations staff to improve the way that they use, manage, and maintain those
systems coupled with advances in technology that facilitated those
improvements. Changes like this will continue to naturally occur over the
coming decades and will be driven by market needs coupled with advances in
technology that address those needs and provide further opportunities for
improvements. There are several trends in the current implementations of
industrial automation human machine interface (HMI) systems that are driven by
the current market needs. The trends that are currently driving the needs of
industrial HMI application design are larger systems, greater volumes of data,
increased levels of automation, staffing proficiency issues, and expanded use
of remote operations. Each of these industry trends poses new challenges that
can severely impact the ability for an operations team to achieve optimal
business performance of their systems and safe operations. This paper will
discuss how the HMI should be designed to optimize the operator’s
interpretation of the vast amount of data being displayed. The cornerstone of
improving the overall HMI design is to deliver Situational Awareness (SA). Only
by achieving the proper Situational Awareness can the operations team make
effective decisions that will deliver overall business success.
As industrial processes evolve, so will the
design of the HMIs that are used to operate those processes. Instead of asking
the operators to focus on a large volume of process parameters, the data will
be placed into context to deliver situational awareness. Instead of having the
operations staff being viewed as labor resources they will be empowered as
information craftsmen that will make key business decisions in real time.
Instead of operating in a reactive mode the systems will be proactively managed
to extract the maximum business value from those systems. And ultimately the
focus of the operations teams will shift from merely operating the process to
real time business management.
About the ISA Water and Wastewater ISA Water and
Wastewater Symposium
Presented by the ISA Water and Wastewater
Industries Division, in collaboration with the Florida AWWA Section,
the WEF Automation and Info
Tech Committee, the Florida Water Environment
Association, and the Instrumentation Testing Association, the WWAC Symposium helps
professionals in the water and wastewater industries understand how
instrumentation, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), and
automatic control applications are vital to the treatment and distribution of
water; the collection and treatment of wastewater; and the management of storm water.
The symposium also provides an excellent opportunity to
gain valuable technical information, networking, professional development, and
continuing education credits (CEUs and PDHs).
This 3-day symposium is focused on the challenges
associated with automation and instrumentation in the water and wastewater
sectors. It features 2 full days of presentations on each day, a tour of a
local water/wastewater facility, a general reception, networking events, a
poster session, and a supplier showcase.
