Description:

What will a typical process plant look like in the year 2020? Does the traditional board operator have a role? With engineered operating environments, improved alarming, better diagnostics, operators have been shown to be 35% more likely to detect and resolve problems. Does this mean we can eliminate this position in the refinery? Or will this job function transform into something different? A plant in the year 2020 will employ standard technologies such as the web based technologies and open architecture _ but more importantly the operator's role and view will be expanded - putting him/her in charge of the factors that affect not only the process but also virtually all aspects of the business. The operator will be supported in this role by the tools and system integration that will provide broad information access and use.
