SCADA and HMI systems: screens an operator reads in a second
High-performance SCADA and HMI dashboards: live trends, alarm management following ISA-18.2 and automated reports, on Node-RED or custom web dashboards.
A good monitoring screen does not show everything; it shows what the operator needs to decide. I design in the high-performance HMI style: calm colours, attention only where something has left normal, and deliberate alarms that never flood the operator. HS-IIoT is a live example.
What I do
Alarm management
Priorities, on-delays against chattering, and instant Telegram notifications, following ISA-18.2 principles.
Trends and reports
Time-series storage, historical trends, and automated daily and monthly reports.
High-performance HMI design
Interfaces following ISA-101: quiet backgrounds, colour only where attention is needed.

FAQ
What is SCADA?
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition: a system that collects data from controllers and sensors across a site, presents it to operators, and lets them send commands, manage alarms and keep history.
What is the difference between SCADA and DCS?
A DCS usually handles continuous, integrated control inside one plant such as a refinery; SCADA covers supervisory monitoring and control across distributed or wide sites. The line between them has blurred a lot.
What is ISA-18.2?
The standard for alarm management in the process industries: how alarms are designed, prioritised and reviewed so operators are not flooded with meaningless alarms.
Can generators be monitored from a phone?
Yes, that is exactly what HS-IIoT does: voltage, current, fuel and alarms reach the phone in real time.
