Synopsis

There was a need to design an effective single-view information display to meet the monitoring needs of control room operators. The critical scope of the design revolved around a systematic, analytical and task-centric approach in assisting the operators to make better and quick decisions by reducing their time taken for data analysis thereby efficiently equipping them to avoid emergency situations.

This final concept was aimed to reduce the pain in navigation by mapping the hierarchy of the plant into the floor plan of the plant and its critical assets, along with different fault priority being colour-coded with real time information.
