Human Machine Interface

Most systems for control and surveillance have operator interfaces of some kind from the simplest mechanical device to complex computer systems. Other applications use various presentations to enable a new solution. HMI systems must be designed using known human limitations and feasibilities from physiology to adapt the interface and its use to the operator.

  • HMI of Distributed Control Systems for operator intervention including design of Control Rooms
  • Alarm handling and logics to reduce unnecessary alarms and pinpoint those important for operator interventions without losing vital information.
  • Visualisation and interaction using e.g. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to present computer generated information together with video images
  • Image processing for use in on-line control and surveillance
  • Remotely controlled robots for maintenance and inspection on unmanned installations
  • Wearable systems connected to technical and administrative systems for optimal work processes
