• input means arranged to receive an alert concerning a status change in a part of the industrial system,
• main display means arranged to provide a status view of at least a portion of the industrial system, and
• secondary display means enabling user interaction with the industrial system and the main display means, which main display means and secondary display means form a user interface of the control system, which secondary display means is arranged to display an alert object associated with the part of the industrial system generating the alert,
• wherein control system is arranged to:
• detect a selection of the alert object based on gesture-based user input;
• display the alert object on the main display means,
