Abstract:
For most industrial facilities, control system alarms are the primary means to let the Operator know something’s wrong. So what happens when that alarm system hinders the Operator more than it helps? The problem seems overwhelming, and the alarms you thought provided risk protection are actually doing the opposite.
This technical program will help participants understand common alarm management challenges and tackle structured approaches to cultivate an alarm system that supports Operators, rather than getting in their way, in any facility—large or small.
