This screen efficiently displays useful and readable information for the entire facility and showcases how leveraging popups and templates makes it easy to allow for control of devices no matter how the operator is viewing their process. Sparkline components provide a glanceable historical view into important chemical readouts and tank levels, while dynamic alarm graphics allow operators to quickly identify problems. Additionally, template popups launched from any of the device indicator graphics allow for access to controls from any status screen.
Templatized popups with easy access to device controls help operators manually actuate equipment from any screen while keeping primary displays clean and easy to read. Popups also provide quick trends for operators to quickly view history on a tab without launching a full Axiom trending session.
Tracking operations were very important to the customer. Most of their process is executed by operators directly controlling devices from the SCADA, so they needed a way to keep track of who changed what and how it correlated with their residuals data and alarms. We created custom tools to track their tag events and provided a database display allowing the customer to search and sort operations events for reporting and process tracking.
This primary chemical screen provides a view of one part of the blending process. The traditional PID layout gives a view of the equipment connections in the field, while modern SCADA display components allow for glanceable device statuses and sparkline tag history displays. The screen is kept clean and is clearly laid out so that operators know exactly where to look for their information, and any abnormal process readouts quickly stand out.
