Claim 5:
6. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed cause at least one operator console comprising an operator computing system including at least one processor device coupled to a human machine interface (HMI) causes the operator computer system to implement a method comprising:
generating a future state reflecting predicted values for a future time for a plurality of processing equipment for an industrial process run by an industrial process control and automation system (IPCS) configured to control the industrial process including at least one process controller coupled to input output (I/O) modules coupled to field devices including sensors and actuators that are coupled to the plurality of processing equipment;
displaying in the human machine interface (HMI) associated with the operator computing system that is coupled to the process controller a dynamic time-based representation for each of the plurality of the processing equipment including from a time beginning in the past comprising historical values a value at a current time (NOW), and the predicted value at the future time, wherein the dynamic time-based representation comprises a roadway including a plurality of lanes represents flight path which allows a three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of information traveling along the roadway, wherein each lane of the plurality of lanes corresponds to each of the plurality of processing equipment, and wherein dynamic time-based representation includes the time beginning in the historical values shown nearest to an operator before the current time (NOW), and the predicted value at the future time shown furthest from the operator after the current time (NOW), wherein the plurality of lanes along the roadway shows upcoming events for the respective plurality of processing equipment, each event of the upcoming events dynamically travel toward the operator as time passes, and appears on process parameter trends to create a visual correlation on left and right of the HMI.
