Constant pressure for industries to perform better puts ever-greater demands on their operators, whose daily decisions directly impact costs, availability, safety and quality. System 800xA puts this key group in focus, simplifying their working situation and giving them the proactive support they need. It promotes alert, motivated operators who perform at their best by making correct decisions and taking fast actions. This increased effectiveness raises productivity and makes more effective use of energy. A traditional DCS won’t achieve operator effectiveness. More is needed, including:
- Integrated information for common visualization and plant-wide collaboration. Operators are given a first-class process overview plus fast and easy access to all the information they need.
- Modern, proactive alarm management. In System 800xA, alarm metrics are continuously calculated according to ISA 18.2 and EEMUA 191, allowing operators to analyze and optimize the system for best possible function.
- Attention to human factors. System 800xA with EOW-x is a pre-integrated, top-of-the-line operator workstation that combines fast access to all process information in one single environment. Ready for use from day one, it offers unparalleled ergonomics, visualization and communication solutions that allow one operator to supervise and control large areas of the process.
- Competent, well-trained operators. System 800xA Simulator is the most effective way to train staff, offering realistic situations that include the challenge of performing in abnormal situations where the correct operator decision and action will significantly reduce process disruptions and downtime.
