In this article I want to tell and share my opinion about the user interfaces of scada systems and dispatch systems in general.
The main focus of our work is the development of complex systems for dispatching engineering and technical communications. Simply put, building a smart home system, but on the scale of warehouses, logistics centers or, for example, a shopping center.
For clarity, let's look at an example with a shopping center. To attract as many visitors as possible, the management of the shopping center tries to make their shopping as comfortable as possible and, as a result, the shopping center is equipped with dozens of complex systems: light, ventilation, air conditioning, heat supply, water disposal and many others that are hidden from the eyes of visitors.
Disruption of any of these systems is unacceptable. But if a "smart" house, as a rule, is made for the owner, then the SCADA-system (or in this case, more appropriate BMS) is developed for the fastest possible delivery of relevant information to the service personnel. This is what I want to tell you.
As a rule, each system manufacturer provides its own sets of ready-made libraries designed to simplify and speed up the programmer's work, and most often these libraries do not differ in the quality of their performance.

In the end I would like to say that I am not a designer and did not receive such an education, there are no designers in my team either, we are good engineers, programmers and designers, we know how systems should work and how they should be operated, based on this, we want make the user interface as human-friendly as possible.
I would be very happy if you leave your comments, suggest improvements or some of your comments so that we, too, can grow and not stand still. I hope you enjoyed the material and found something useful in it, leave your comments.
