Much has been written about Alarm Rationalization or Alarm Management projects but a common theme is that a baseline of the state of your plant's alarms must be established and monitored.

To that end, AlarmAnalyst^® includes displays to quickly allow engineers to establish that baseline: Using guidelines as presented in documents such as the EEMUA Alarm System Guide, [reference: EEMUA Publications. for Alarm Systems Guide; Publication 191] these displays graphically represent the state of your systems and give you clear targets of what you need to remedy.

To state it simply, your target as an engineering team is to empty AlarmAnalyst's screens!

• On-line benchmarking of your plant's operations against world best practices
• Operator entered "Notes" makes it easy to track alarm changes and comment on conditions going on in the plant
• Key displays for alarm rationalization include: Alarm Rates, Alarm and Event Distributions, Standing Alarm Times, Top 10 and Alarm Burst Rates
• Automatic report generation
• Easy export of both text and vectored graphics to other applications
• Group based e-mail
• Review years of data on-line
