Our experience to optimize the availability of your plants
False or unimportant alarms, as well as alarms that are routinely acknowledged or even ignored out of habit, represent a high risk in practice. A detailed alarm management system can help here. Together with our customers, we create plans to analyze and prioritize the alarms. The result: false alarms and bursts of alarms are reduced, response time to critical situations is improved and safety is increased.
