Abstract

An operation and observation system of a technical plant and/or a technical process and associated method are provided for operating components and for displaying measurement readings, process variables and/or status messages of the components of the plant and/or process. The system includes at least one large screen for displaying the components of the technical process and/or technical plant, and a plurality of operator workstations. A movement detection and movement control component is installed on the screen and on the operator workstations, which allows an operation and/or polling of the components, the measurement readings, the process variables and/or the status messages of the components of the technical plant or of the technical process by means of a body movement of an operator.
