Following Modern HMI Standards to Avoid Common Pitfalls
An informed operator is an efficient operator. In many cases subpar HMI designs have been identified as contributors to abnormal situations, billions of dollars of lost production, accidents, and fatalities. Industry-accepted HMI standards in addition to technological advances found in modern distributed control systems (DCS) are driving an environment in which legacy limitations no longer apply.

Whether you are in a process industry or not, we have your back. We encourage you to peruse and explore the following resources that were built with consideration for international standards and all industries. While the resources appear to favor the process industries, the concepts and information are applicable to all.
Accessing Insights in New Ways
A modern HMI doesn’t just give workers access to information — it gives them access to information in the time and place that they need to make decisions. How? By extending displays beyond operator terminals with new technologies like mobile devices, thin clients, or mixed-reality headsets – giving workers faster, more convenient access to information in their moments of need.
