Operate your process more efficiently with Elipse Alarm Manager.

The boom in connected devices and the growing amount of information that require real-time monitoring have an unfortunate byproduct: more and more alarms are being created in supervisory systems, which overwhelm operators and increase the likelihood of accidents and of physical, financial, and environmental risks.

Current scenario

Currently, alarm management problems are a common issue in facilities and management rooms. The main causes for them are:

  • Alarms are indiscriminately created in SCADA systems, abiding to no corporate policies;
  • Operators are burdened with a large amount of alarms whose levels of urgency are not easily distinguishable from one another;
  • Many operators have to respond to over 1200 alarms per day.

When used to their fullest capacity, alarms should help operators detect failures in the process and then fix them, and not simply indicate variables in isolation.

Alarm floods

They can happen for a lot of reasons, such as:

  • Alarms being added in excess to the system;
  • Changes to processes and devices;
  • Poorly designed alarms;
  • Obsolete, decayed equipment;
  • Temporal changes in the process, such as unplanned downtime;
  • Many times, alarm development and management are not contemplated by the work process or the system administration.

The need for alarm management

Alarm management is usually necessary in situations including, but not limited to:

  • Improving the operators’ labor conditions and their workload;
  • Improving the system’s reliability;
  • Ensuring better environmental and security conditions;
  • Preventing unplanned stops or interruptions in the system;
  • Fomenting operational efficiency and stability, and maximizing financial return.

Elipse Alarm Manager (EAM)

The Elipse Alarm Manager (EAM) is a platform developed to help manage the alarms’ data mining and research lifecycle, in order to point out what needs to be changed in the alarms’ baseline to get optimal system behavior.

Its reporting tool allows analyzing the alarms’ key performance indicators over time, such as how many alarms are being generated per day or per hour in the system as a whole or in certain areas of the process, and then determine whether operators are being overloaded with alarms at any given period. From there, the information can be drilled down to determine which alarms occur more frequently, which ones remain stable, and which ones are not being attended to as often as needed and therefore are active for too long or take too long to be acknowledged.

Its report data analyses can help spot which devices are faulty or poorly set up, and which ones need to adequate to changes in the process.
