My thought was exactly the opposite. Some of them have modern computers right in the control room and still have all this gadgetry. There's just no way to reproduce that level of visual information on a small screen. Even at work I sometimes struggle with dual 32" monitors, I just need more real estate and have to constantly switch between windows and desktops. And that's for fairly mundane development tasks.
- lucaspiller 9y agoMy impression was that the control console is probably coupled too tightly to the control system, that removing and replacing it with something modern wouldn’t be feasable or worth the effort. I find it unlikely that they need to see all those dials at once, but without a modal system to switch between data views they need to show every data point. On a modern system you could achieve the same by having views specific to each task, and an alerting system for when a data point for that task goes out of range. Here is an image from a modern Austrian steel factory run by 3 people - half of the screens on the top row are just showing CCTV images: http://pop.h-cdn.co/assets/17/25/1498153350-699054458-1.jpg http://pop.h-cdn.co/assets/17/25/1498153350-699054458-1.jpg
