“…To the authors' knowledge, the majority of the existing DCS operators interface not only with present 2D monitors but also display charts or diagrams containing process in a 2D format [18,19]. This means that if one wishes to have Univ Access Inf Soc different views of the process, it is essential to create new displays.…”

The current operator displays of Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are designed for 2D environments. This limits the full awareness situation of the industrial process, since it is distributed across multiple operator displays and requires the operator to navigate among them. This inspired the idea of creating a single operator display. Through an accurate and systematic literature review and by following the guidelines of design science methodology, it was possible to achieve a set of indicators and artefacts that corresponded to the defined goals. By developing a 2.5D/3D DCS interface application, the authors aimed at creating a way of allowing a full view of the entire manufacturing process, thus increasing the amount and the quality of information that is given to the operator and preventing unnecessary operation navigation between displays.
