Enlight Control Systems диспетчерийн дэлгэцүүдээ ISA-101 болон High Performance HMI зарчмаар зохиомжилдог — Баянхөндийн алт боловсруулах үйлдвэрийн SCADA дэлгэцүүд үүний бодит жишээ. Энэ философийн гүнзгий тайлбарыг манай Нөхцөл байдлын мэдрэмж — SCADA системийн орчин үеийн дизайны философи нийтлэлээс уншаарай.
Танай одоогийн дэлгэцүүдийг ISA-101-ийн шалгуураар үнэгүй үнэлүүлье: 7733-4478 эсвэл энэ сайтын AI туслахтай ярилцаарай.

Traffic signs are understood everywhere: a red triangle warns, a red circle prohibits. The ISA-101 standard applies the same idea to industrial operator interfaces — a shared visual language of principles and recommendations for HMI design, recently adopted internationally as IEC 63303.
Why a standard was needed
It grew out of real plant pain, not theory: every system styled differently, colors used without meaning, and visual clutter hiding what matters. Operators working with such screens make errors, respond late and carry unnecessary stress — and every new hire relearns a different "dialect".
The High Performance HMI principle
The foundation is a simple observation: the human brain cannot process large volumes of visual information at once. So instead of showing everything, show what matters, in the right way:
Normal operation looks calm and grey — nothing competes for attention
A deviation makes that one thing stand out instantly — no analysis needed
One glance answers "is everything normal?" within seconds
Color strategy
Grey / neutral tones — normal state
Yellow / orange — warnings and deviations
Red — critical conditions only
Spend red on everyday decoration and nothing is left to mark real danger. One more fact: about 8% of men have some form of color-vision deficiency, so ISA-101 pairs color with shapes and symbols — the information survives even when the color doesn't.
ISA-101 color strategy: grey normal, amber warning, red critical only; color + shape dual coding
Information hierarchy
Displays are layered from overview to detail, guiding the operator logically: where is the problem → what causes it → how to fix it.
Four display levels: overview → unit → equipment detail → diagnostics
Business benefits
Plants that implement ISA-101 report faster operator response, fewer errors, higher safety, faster onboarding of new staff (every screen speaks the same language, so operators move between lines easily) and better use of production data in decisions.
The Industry 4.0 connection
SCADA, MES, OEE and EMS systems collect enormous volumes of data — but more data does not mean better decisions. An ISA-101 interface is the bridge that turns that data into fast decisions and concrete actions — a precondition for digital transformation.
Our experience
Enlight Control Systems designs its operator displays to ISA-101 and High Performance HMI principles — the SCADA screens of the Bayan Khundii gold plant are a live example. For a deeper dive into the philosophy, read our article Situational awareness — the modern design philosophy of SCADA systems.
