Scenario Design for the Evaluation of Human–Machine Interaction in Modular Process Plants

Research output: Contribution to journalResearch articleContributedpeer-review

Abstract

Operators in modular process plants face new demands due to features like increasing automation and digitalization combined with an architecture allowing for reconfigurations in short time spans. However, operators must be able to master process control tasks at all times. For research purposes on topics like supporting operators in their performance in process control of modular process plants, this article aims at developing scenarios of such plants. Based on three conceptual levels describing the relation of chemical processes and their modularized realization and a neutralization process as use case, four scenarios were developed. Having the common task to increase the throughput, the scenarios differ in terms of complexity and constraints that need to be considered for process control.
