Assessments & Evaluations
Assessments are a great method to measure where your facility stands relative to industry guidelines, regulatory requirements, and best practices. The assessment results can be used in making decisions about whether to initiate a new project, or as a way of determining where to focus resources in updating an operations facility, updating or migrating operator HMIs, or improve the usability of a product.

Example: HMI Evaluation
An HMI evaluation considers all of the major design elements that contribute to efficient and effective operations. Typically such assessments are performed on a small sample of a facility’s current HMIs, but comprehensive reviews of all HMIs in a facility can also be performed. This does require an on-site visit. Some of the factors considered include:- HMI information content
- Structure and organization
- Page layout
- Use of color
- Alarms and alarm symbols
