Alarm rationalization software keeps plants organized and running

Proper categorization of alarms can help operators determine whether their attention is required or if an alarm has the potential to cause process impact. Examples of process impact can include:

  • Loss of redundancy
  • Loss of efficiency
  • Loss of plant output
  • Impending shutdown
  • Damage to equipment
  • Operation outside of regulatory compliance
