Transform process data into actionable information using proven design principles
Data-to-Information Handbook: Building Effective Display Systems for Refining Processes is a practical guide for designing human-machine interfaces that transform raw data into clear, actionable information. Written by experts with extensive experience in control systems and operator performance, the book is grounded in the IEC 63303 and ISA-101 standards and offers comprehensive guidance on creating effective display systems that enhance operator decision-making and reduce uncertainty in continuous process environments.
The handbook explains display design principles and examples from continuous process plants across multiple industries. It specifies the information needed at each hierarchy level for major equipment and sections, with detailed representations for refinery processes. The book delivers three key applications: designing new systems, evaluating existing ones, and generating practical improvement concepts.
The book also:
- Combines guidance from IEC 63303 and ISA-101 standards with practical strategies for building effective HMI displays in continuous process environments.
- Provides a complete hierarchical display system for an entire refinery with examples for different hierarchy levels.
- Specifies information requirements at each display level for major equipment and sections in process plants.
- Offers detailed representations of systems and equipment for major refinery processes with practical display examples.
- Includes proven concepts and techniques for modifying existing graphics to enhance operator perceptibility and confidence.
The Data-to-Information Handbook is essential for project engineers, process automation engineers, display designers, and operators working in continuous process industries. Practitioners will learn to design displays that significantly improve operator confidence, reduce uncertainty, and support better decision-making in control rooms across refining, chemical, and related industries.
