ANSI/ISA HMI 101 - Intuitive Information and Guidance

HMI design plays a critical role in determining an operator’s ability to manage an industrial facility’s systems effectively, particularly when detecting and resolving an abnormal situation. Adopting design standards, such as those developed by groups such as ANSI and ISA, allows organizations to add valuable context to data in a way that’s consistent, clear and scalable. During this session, GrayMatter Chief Technology Officer John Benitz will discuss how water/wastewater utilities, manufacturers and other industrial organizations leverage high-performance HMI design to enhance change management practices, convert veteran operators’ unwritten rules into intuitive design elements, and reduce the learning curve for new employees.

Virtualization at the Edge

Digital Transformation is accelerating as manufacturers double down on onshoring and near-sourcing while adding KPI’s focused on resilience and adaptability, strengthening the ROI of digital transformation projects. We’re now well into OT/IT convergence with IT technologies permeating OT, reducing costs and increasing the speed and scalability of deployment. This session will explore the leading technologies moving to the industrial edge of OT. Driving virtualization technologies to the edge of networks is a key enabling technology that will soon become one of the keys to success in digital transformation.
