Human Machine Interface (HMI) (I): Situation Awareness & Effective Alarm & HMI Design Practices
This webinar is presented by Jenny Coleman (Human Factors Investigator, WorkSafeBC), Charles Bloom (Senior Partner, Human Centered Solutions) and Jamie Errington (Senior Partner, Human Centered Solutions). Poor alarm management is one of the leading causes of unplanned downtime in process industries contributing billions in lost production every year. This introductory principle-based webinar will help to understand how the system should convey and facilitate accurate and timely fault and diagnostic information to operators, resulting in effective plant management. It will engage attendees to think about their control systems and how their systems could be optimized for efficiency, safety and operator detection and decision making.
