About Clear Picture SA
Advancing industrial visualization through Situation Awareness (SA) design — helping teams build dashboards that work with the human brain, not against it.
The Purpose
Industrial dashboards are often technically powerful — but visually and cognitively unclear. Many were built to display data, not to support human awareness, attention, and understanding.
Clear Picture SA addresses this gap by documenting design principles and demonstrating them through real-world dashboards, tested concepts, and reusable patterns, while fostering collaboration across the ecosystem — from vendors to integrators and designers.
What It Provides
- SA Concepts — cognitive principles explained and illustrated with infographics and Figma-based examples, and tested in visualization platforms.
- SA Design Patterns — higher-level strategies demonstrated through working prototypes, primarily in Tatsoft FrameworX.
- Collaborative Reviews — guided conversations that help organizations apply SA thinking to their own dashboards.
Together, these serve as a shared reference for creating visualizations that enhance clarity, reduce overload, and strengthen operational awareness.
Why It Matters
When visualization tools are designed with human cognition in mind, teams work more effectively. They see problems sooner, respond faster, and feel more confident in their decisions.
Clear Picture SA promotes this alignment — combining research, design, and collaboration to bring human-centered awareness into the heart of industrial system monitoring.
