About Me

After starting as a DCS engineer I worked as a operator to learn more about the ins and outs of working as a operator. Then I went back to the engineering part and used the experience as a operator to get better results. There is a lot more to tell about this (many years taken) workflow. But that is part of the consultancy.

My Vision :

Operators can work with a HMI that gives them the information they need. Brought to them in SA style, meaning:

  • Screens devided in overview workspace and alarmview.
  • Fast navigation, multiple ways to get to the page they need.
  • Good alarm management.
  • Inline information.
  • and many many more.
