Alarm Management Dashboard

Product Overview

The Alarm Management Dashboard is designed to help you get your alarm system under control by providing crucial information in an easy to understand, informative and intuitive format. Using the Alarm Management Dashboard, alarm rationalisation strategies can be implemented effectively with minimal cost and disruption to your process. These strategies usually result in a reduction in the number of alarms, improved alarm prioritization, validation of alarm parameters and improved alarm presentation.

Product Features
  • See the bigger picture – view a real-time display of the most frequently occurring alarms from your system, together with the total number of occurrences to find out where your alarms are coming from, why they are occurring and what you can do to prevent them occurring.

  • Change the role of the operator – improve operator workload, increase efficiency, reduce downtime and  enable operators to spend more time controlling and improving the process.

  • Understand your alarm system – drill-down into the heart of the alarm system and determine where and why your most frequent alarms are occurring.

  • Improve operator responsiveness – remove the need for operators to carry-out mass alarm acknowledgment which potentially leads to missed alarms and critical plant conditions being overlooked.

  • Reduce nuisance alarms – the dashboard highlights the most commonly occurring alarms so you can take steps to reduce the frequency.

  • Identify long-term active alarms – if your system contains alarms that have been active for a long period of time, the chances are that they are being ignored because they are not critical or associated with equipment that is off-line.

  • Requirements
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition or higher

  • Microsoft SQL Reporting Services 2005.

  • Microsoft Internet Information Server 6 or higher

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher

  • Applications

    The Alarm Management Dashboard can integrate seamlessly with your existing HMI/SCADA/DCS and centrally collect alarms from disparate control systems. Alarm management should not simply be considered as a health and safety subject, an effective strategy can significantly improve business performance and reduce the costs of a production shutdown, both in terms of lost production and risk  to assets or human life.
