Towards integral human-machine system conception: from automation design to usability concerns

摘要

The purpose of this communication is to show an\udadditional advantage of the well known guide for start and\udstop modes, GEMMA, that should motivate its use as well as\udto introduce the consideration of the human operator as an\udintegral part of the automation procedure. The inclusion of the\udhuman operator as well as his interplay with the automation\uddevice needs some guidelines that can be drawn from joining\udthe GEMMA structured approach and some concepts borrowed\udfrom cognitive ergonomic theory and human-computer interaction.\udFinally, this paper shows some examples of humanmachine\udinterfaces (industrial panel, interface display screen).
