Abstract
While large screen display technology has been used in process control rooms for many years, it still remains an immature area where there are few examples of successful utilization of its potential benefits in providing essential support to control room crews. We present a solution claimed to represent a major breakthrough in the transfer of modern Human System Interface concepts for process control from the research community to large-scale industrial application. The design principles and approaches that have emerged from this interaction between research and real-life problems are presented, including the novel design challenges imposed by the use of a new type of ultra-large screen technology.
