Tasked with overhauling the legacy Human-Machine Interface for a critical hydrocarbon flow control system, our goal was to reduce operator cognitive load and error rates during high-stakes pressure and temperature adjustments. The solution involved a modular dashboard with prioritized alarm visualization, predictive trend graphs, and tactile feedback zones. The process included shadowing control room shifts, iterative prototyping with operator feedback, and rigorous validation under simulated emergency scenarios. The new interface cut average response time to critical alerts by 42% and improved system status comprehension scores by 65%.
