Plant control systems began with open control loops with humans watching dials and turning valves as needed. They moved to closed loop control, digital control and distributed control without thinking about how operators would use the tools or see the necessary view. We went from walls of panel mounted displays to tiny CRT screens with no thought that this might impact operations and safety, and we were, wrong.Process controlManufacturing processesHuman factorsElectronic books.Process control.Manufacturing processesHuman factors.629.8Strobhar David A.968685MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464943803321Human factors in process plant operation2200350UNINA
