InBound: Better Knowledge of Safe Operating Limits to Improve Human Reliability

摘要

In many plants, the various safe and design process operating boundaries are contained in a variety of disparate and often inconsistent documents. Managers, engineers, and operators are responsible to ensure that easily-changed control systems remain both configured and operated within appropriate boundaries. This paper discusses new technology and methods for aggregating, depicting, and controlling process boundary information in a way to increase the awareness of the operator and ensuring to engineers and managers that the process is always being operated appropriately.
