1. An industrial plant operator intervention system for use in an industrial plant, the system comprising:
a processing unit, the processing unit being programmed and configured to:
monitor and analyze industrial plant operation data to detect an anomaly in the industrial plant operation data that warrants initiating an operator intervention; and
automatically determine a user interface configuration of a user interface to be presented to a designated operator who is to perform the operator intervention when the anomaly is detected,
wherein the user interface configuration is determined on the basis of technical context data, including industrial plant operation data associated with the anomaly; and,
on the basis of operator data pertaining to the designated operator, obtain an anomaly-related and operator-specific user interface configuration, wherein the operator data pertaining to the designated operator includes operator attributes indicating a skill set, area of operation, level of experience, and past involvement in industrial plant operation, of the designated operator, and a match score calculated based on the operator attributes and a type of the detected anomaly, wherein the match score indicates a match between the operator attributes and the type of anomaly, a part of the industrial plant affected by the anomaly, and pieces of equipment affected by the anomaly, and in response to detecting the anomaly, identifying a match score from a plurality of match scores, corresponding to a potential anomaly that is most similar to the detected anomaly as the match score to be used to automatically determine the user interface configuration to be presented to the designated operator.
