February Meeting - Alarm Management & Rationalization

Alarm systems are a key component of any plant automation system, but too often, plants suffer from improper alarm management, resulting in a flood of unactionable alarms and an information overload. This often causes the alarm system to backfire, setting the stage for missed malfunctions, dangerous accidents, costly shutdowns, and stressed operators. This presentation will discuss how to battle the alarm flood and ensure the right alarms are delivered and received at the right time.
