SCADA & HMI for Industrial Operations

Industrial operators and control teams depend on SCADA and HMI systems to understand what is happening across processes and equipment, recognize abnormal conditions, and take timely operational action. However, displaying more data does not automatically improve control. Poor screen organization, unclear process information, excessive alarms, weak navigation, and ineffective operator interaction can make critical conditions harder to recognize and increase the risk of delayed or incorrect responses.
 

Boost Consulting & Training offers this course to develop practical capability in applying SCADA and HMI systems to industrial operations. Participants explore system architecture, process visualization, tag and data management, operator displays, alarms, trends, supervisory control, communication with field control systems, and operational troubleshooting. Practical activities focus on organizing information so operators can recognize process conditions quickly and interact with the control system effectively.
 

The main concept of this course is to transform industrial process data into clear operational information that supports effective monitoring, timely intervention, and reliable supervisory control.

• Explain the architecture and operational roles of SCADA and HMI systems.
• Trace process information from field and control systems to operator interfaces.
• Organize tags and process data for effective monitoring and control.
• Develop clear HMI displays that support operator situational awareness.
• Structure alarms according to operational significance and required response.
• Use trends and historical data to investigate process and equipment behavior.
• Diagnose common SCADA, HMI, communication, and data-quality problems.
• Evaluate and improve operator interaction with industrial control systems.
