Abstract
The main task of operators in the modern nuclear power station is to
monitor and control the processes
related to power production and safety. Even though the operators’ main tasks
remain the same the ongoing process to move from analog panel based
humansystem interface to digital instrumentations is expected to have an
influence to operators’ work practices. In order to efficiently support
operators’ tasks the humansystem interface should, e.g., support awareness of
the process and collaboration with different stakeholders. In a Finnish
project, Novel Affordances of Smart Environments, the aim is to develop novel
interaction concepts and a prototype for more efficient and effective
operation of complex industrial processes. The central element in this project
is “Affordance Table”, which is a metaphor for new kind of collaborative
interaction ecology that benefits from innovative technological platform for
human activity. In the present paper we first present a conceptual model and
definition of “Affordance Table” based on James Gibson’s ecological theory.
After that, suggestions are made for a combination of smart tools to be
applied for supporting the monitoring and control of the power process in the
future smart control room.
