The future of plant control

The Experion Orion Console is an advanced display technology that brings the plant control room of the future to life by meeting the changing needs of the increasingly mobile plant operator.

The console, made by Honeywell Process Solutions, builds on the firm’s f lagship Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) control platform and features an improved ergonomic design and better displays to simplify control system management, reduce operator fatigue and improve situational awareness. The console’s design was based on operator input gleaned from numerous visits to plant control rooms around the world, and across industries, in both newer and older plants. The design and capabilities are the result of behaviour observations, as well as insights collected in multiple phases at plants, including process startups and during periods of abnormal operations.

The console’s features include a large f lexible, ultra-high definition display that provides clear status assessments of process operations in a single glance for better and more-informed management.

This f lexibility also enables operators to customise displays for context-specific process issues, and incorporates advanced alarm management, and pan and zoom capabilities. Limits and targets are directly integrated into overview displays, allowing operation of the process closer to the optimum and allowing operators an increased scope of responsibility across the industrial facility.

Touch panel displays provide the primary operating interface that better enables operators to quickly and accurately respond to changing conditions and prevent situations that could lead to plant incidents and emergencies.
