Operator Effectiveness

Honeywell’s broad approach to improving operator effectiveness began more than 14 years ago with the founding of the Abnormal Situation Management (ASM) Consortium. With results from extensive research in human factors and abnormal situations, Honeywell has designed and implemented multiple solutions to improve operator effectiveness and safety. Experion PKS offers standard functionality that helps manage alarms and procedures: Operator effectiveness begins with properly designed and consistent operator interfaces.  Experion Station provides a common HMI for the C200 and C300 controllers, Safety Manager, SCADA devices, and a variety of applications and security solutions. Honeywell’s graphics library and expert services help customers implement graphics according to ASM guidelines to help operators quickly respond to incidents and make the right decisions.  An effective alarm management program is critical to minimizing the number and impact of abnormal situations. Honeywell’s alarm management solutions help manage and maintain alarm systems for increased operator effectiveness and improved safety. Procedural Operations provides management of procedures and is integrated into Experion for seamless execution with integrated automatic and manual steps. Honeywell’s Operations Management suite of tools and services enable best-in-class work practices for control room and field-based operators: Establish operating limits for plant processes Validate that operating targets are within specified limits Monitor and control to these targets Training simulators improve operator effectiveness for a safer, more secure and stable plant operation. Honeywell’s UniSim simulation solutions help operators prepare for faster and smoother plant startup. Honeywell’s mobility solutions ensure field operators are in sync with the control room to reduce the risk of improperly executed procedures, improve plant reliability and to deliver the right information to the right people for optimized decision-making.   Honeywell also offers services that help customers: design, implement and maintain effective procedures ensure proper control room staffing and design  implement graphics consistent with effective human factors integrate data along the entire lifecycle
