HMIs & Data Logging

Design HMIs operators trust, with alarm pages, trends and reports that capture the evidence your QA and audit teams need.

What good looks like

Clear navigation, meaningful alarms, and trend pages that answer operator questions quickly. We standardise colour schemes, symbols and alarm priorities so new users feel at home and seasoned operators work faster. Good HMIs keep shifts calm: no alarm floods, fast drill-downs and the right context for every intervention.

How we help

Design, build and data practices that keep sites calm and auditable.

Operator HMIs

Mimics, P&IDs and start/stop panels that look consistent across lines and sites. Clear states and button logic reduce training time and cut mis-ops on night shift.

Alarms & guidance

Alarm rationalisation with priorities, shelving rules and on-screen actions. Operators see what to do, what to ignore, and how to prevent floods during start-ups or transitions.

Trends & KPIs

Trend walls and replay views surface slow drifts and intermittent issues. KPIs by shift or batch give supervisors the proof they need without pulling raw data.

Data logging & reports

Structured historian tags, batch/shift logs and exportable reports for QA and audits. Role-based access keeps sensitive data protected while supervisors and engineers get what they need.

Services we provide

  • HMI standards, screen builds and navigation patterns across lines and sites.
  • Alarm philosophy, rationalisation workshops and on-screen guidance.
  • Historian/data logging setup with batch, shift and event reporting.
  • HMI repairs and refurbishments to resolve hardware faults, ghost touches and dim backlights.
  • Operator training and handover packs with screenshots and alarm actions.

Platforms

Experience across WinCC, FactoryTalk View/SE, Ignition, Copa-Data Zenon, Aveva/InTouch and AVEVA Edge, plus lightweight panel HMIs where a full SCADA isn't needed.
