I'm sure there's plenty of hardcoded panels that will be used to control the same process for decades also in the "western" world.

- squarefoot 6y agoNo idea if they're doing the same thing in the military, but the ongoing rush to swap every damn button panel with a touchscreen is like a million disasters waiting to happen.
- porknubbins 6y agoNot waiting to happen- Wasn’t there a US Navy ship that collided recently because the throttles were done in software?
- TheCapn 6y agoGenerally not in my experience. Things are still heavily driven from SCADA/HMI systems because its just economical to drop a PC in and be virtually future proof to whatever changes you make at your plant. I've been part of a few jobs that have panels similar to what you're discussing but my presence there is to make sure the 3rd party builder signs off then we immediately bypass the panel's physical controls with a PLC+HMI system for the client.
