Abstract

The increasing complexity of industrial plants and more intelligent equipment technology lead to a growing amount of process data. The approach of interactive 3D process data visualization and associated training concepts for processes without a process model can assists operators to analyze complex processes. This paper describes a set of experiments that analyzed the benefits of a 3D data presentation as part of an HMI in combination with different types of operator training in process control.
