Control method for an industrial plant

A control method for an industrial plant (10) comprising the acquisition of a plurality of measurement data (D) relating to the components (11) of a plant and/or to a product being worked, their storage in a storage device (14) and their transmission to an automation system (15) which uses said measurement data (D) to generate respective control signals (CS), said measurement data (D) and at least some of said control signals (CS) being transmitted to an interactive platform (16;

• 16a, 16b) wherein a first interactive platform (16a) comprises at least one device (21) for assisting an operator, having a control unit (23) which, in a control step, uses suitable verification rules (R) and continuously compares said measurement data (D), possibly combining them with at least some of said control signals (CS) and with control commands, given by an operator, in order to identify specific operational events characteristic of the process, wherein each of said operational events defines a point of interest (POI) which is an aggregation of measurement data (D), operational control signals (CS) and possibly also video-audio contents relating to a determinate time window prior to and following said event on the basis of said verification rules (R).
