Alarm Management

Improve your operations and mitigate faults through advanced alarming with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS).

What is Alarm Management?

Alarm management systems are utilized in process industries to notify plant personnel of abnormal conditions, events or equipment malfunctions of a particular process or line. An alarm is a visible or audible notification of an abnormal event or situation. Successful organizations require intelligent management of alarms, so as to prevent alarm flood (too many alarm notifications to which to successfully respond), but also ensure proper response to those alarms deemed critical to an organization’s operations.

How Alarm Management Works

GENESIS alarm technology is built on the internationally recognized alarm management standard ISA 18.2. The technology allows users to prioritize, dynamically filter, shelve and rationalize alarms from single or multiple processes. Operators can be notified in real time of root cause alarms, allowing them to correctly prioritize.

Benefits of Alarm Management with GENESIS

ISA 18.2 Compliance

GENESIS alarm management solutions meet the internationally recognized standard for rule-based alarms and prioritization.

Alarm Prioritization

Users of our alarm-based solutions can prioritize alarms based on their classification.

Alarm Shelving

Alarms can be temporarily suppressed when they meet certain parameters. Users can track their status and deal with them at a later stage.

Dynamic Filtering

One alarm can lead to many more. With our alarm management, users can rationalize alarms and get to the root of the issue or event.

Smart Notifications

GENESIS alarm management users can be notified using a variety of methods including SMS, email, HTML5 dashboards or reports.

Rule-based Alarms

Work processes can determine which alarms are necessary and which are not.
