ISA-101 High-Performance HMI Design

Solid logic deserves
screens to match.

Industriant delivers the operator-facing layer—critical screens, standardized faceplates, reusable SVG graphics—so your controls team stays on logic and commissioning.

ISA-101 abnormal emphasis — faults surface, normals recede
The gap

Robust control logic, wrapped in "good enough" screens.

Industrial projects routinely deliver strong control strategies behind operator interfaces that slow reviews, confuse operators, and burn engineering hours on layout instead of commissioning.

Industriant closes that gap with HMI visual systems aligned to ISA-101 High-Performance principles: clear hierarchy, disciplined abnormal-state emphasis, and a repeatable standard that scales across screens, sites, and projects.

ISA-101 as engineering standard

Not opinion. Standard.

ISA-101 High-Performance gives engineers a defensible basis for visual choices—and gives reviews something to verify against.

01 — HIERARCHY

What must be noticed first

Visual priority mapped to operational criticality. Level 1 overviews for situational awareness, detail screens for intervention.

02 — EMPHASIS

Normal vs. abnormal states

Normal conditions stay quiet. Abnormal states demand attention through deliberate contrast—not color overload.

03 — ALARM VISIBILITY

What cannot be missed

Alarms and deviations surface through hierarchy, not volume. Operators see faults first without hunting.

04 — SEMANTICS

Repeatable visual language

Symbols and patterns mean the same thing everywhere. Operators don't relearn screen to screen, site to site.

Who we serve

Built for teams that ship control systems.

01

System Integrators & Automation Firms

You own the PLC/SCADA architecture. We deliver implementation-ready HMI assets—screens, faceplates, graphics standards—designed to drop into your workflow.

02

Industrial Operators (Brownfield)

Legacy HMIs, mixed standards, training burden. We unify the operator experience without changing control strategy.

03

OEMs & Equipment Builders

You ship functional machinery. We deliver interfaces that reduce operator confusion and support calls.

Outcomes

Screens that survive reviews. Operators who see faults first.

Consistent visual standard

Reduces "opinions about design" across teams and reviews.

Abnormal-state hierarchy

Faults, interlocks, and deviations surface without hunting.

One visual language

Operators don't relearn screen to screen or site to site.

Protected engineering capacity

Your controls team stays on commissioning, not layout.

Deliverables

What you get.

Screens

Critical Screen Set

Level 1 overview for situational awareness. Key unit and process screens. Standardized faceplates for motors, valves, PID loops, and alarms.

Standard

ISA-101 Visual Standard

Normal vs. abnormal-state strategy. Hierarchy rules. Layout system. Symbol semantics. Applied pragmatically—not academically.

Assets

SVG & Implementation Assets

In-house library: pumps, valves, tanks, conveyors, mixers, sensors, utilities. Lightweight vectors built for HMI performance with specs for tag mapping.

↳ Boundary: We do not take on PLC logic or commissioning. We deliver the operator layer so your team integrates and ships.

Deviation-First Dosing Visualization

Level 1 overview with split-panel layout: process mimic (left) shows material flow from bins through weigh hopper to mixer and loadout. Deviation panel (right) uses horizontal bar visualization so operators detect out-of-tolerance conditions instantly—without comparing dense numeric columns. Water overdose (WTR-02 at +7.8%) surfaces through ISA-101 abnormal emphasis while five normal dosing lines recede. W/C ratio trend tracks batch-to-batch drift.

Pumping & Valves (Utility Process)

Super Pump Faceplate Pattern

Standardized reusable faceplate with split layout: P&ID mimic (left) shows pump symbol with suction/discharge piping, isolation valves, check valve, and inline instrumentation (PT, FT). Includes mode selector (Auto/Manual/Local), start/stop/reset commands, and full permissive checklist. Right panel provides live process values with embedded 1-hour trends for flow and discharge pressure—placing decisions where the data lives, not behind pop-ups.
