Are you concerned about alarm performance and its impact on your operator effectiveness? DeltaV Analyze Alarm Reports makes it easy to find the alarms that occur most frequently, are stale alarms, fleeting alarms, chattering alarms, alarms that experience long delays for operators to acknowledge and those that are most often suppressed. Proper Alarm Management implementation ensures that the correct alarms are annunciated to the operator at all times. This includes all modes of process operation.

Poorly configured alarms in the control system lead to millions of dollars of direct losses per year and even more in production losses. Alarm “floods” lead to unsafe conditions and increase the probability of incidents resulting in financial loss.



Financial Impact of Poor Alarm Management*

  • Annual equipment damage over $2 billion
  • Typical cost of incident $100,000 to $1 million
  • Major refining incidents average $80 million
