A Novel User Interface for Controlling Industrial Environments and a Simulation Test Bed

In this paper we present a novel user interface to industrial control systems and a simulation test bed. The interface and the test bed were developed within the framework of the INTMANUS project. The main goal of the project is to develop a new technology for production plants, the Smart Connected Control Platform (SCCP). The platform is an open distributed learning agent-based system that integrates machines, robots and human personnel. The developed interface uses the SCCP functions and provides a new powerful tool, which can help operators of industrial plants to monitor and control their production processes.
