I have been working on an operator decision support system that includes a number of HTML screens for presenting conclusions and recommendations. The effective use of this system in the mill has been limited because the
operators have reportedly been using the browser to 'surf the net' and view X-rated web sites (especially on third shift, I suspect), so management keeps insisting on removing the browser.
I would think that removing the physical connection between the control room and the outside Internet would be the most direct solution, but they seem to be reluctant to do that. I know there exist watchdog programs which
block access to sites with certain characteristics or else a list of sites, but they don't work perfectly and a computer-savvy operator can probably get around them. Any suggestions out there?
