The four pillars of operator effectiveness

ABB is at the forefront of operator effectiveness. To help customers reach the

optimal goal we have brought together the necessary technology and business

practices as four essential pillars:

Integrated operations and embedded functionality

Raw data and other input must be transformed

into actionable information in context with plant

equipment to promote better decision making.

The challenge is to provide seamless access

to multiple sources of information while being

careful not to overload the operator with irrele vant data.

High performance HMI

The user interface must be intuitive and allow

operators to manage views dynamically and effi

ciently. A high-performance interface supports

situation awareness with how the information is

displayed. It supports abnormal situation han

dling through efficient navigation and the appli

cation of best practices in alarm management.
