The Danger of Alarm Fatigue in SCADA Systems
Alarms are crucial in SCADA environments, helping identify process deviations and equipment failures. However, when systems are overloaded with unnecessary or outdated alerts, operators become desensitized—treating real emergencies like routine notifications. This "Boy Who Cried Wolf" effect can lead to critical warnings being ignored, increasing safety risks and reducing efficiency. A well-managed alarm strategy is essential to maintaining control and preventing chaos in industrial operations. Keeping a pulse on the health of your alarm system can help you identify when and where to act and keep your alarm system healthy.
Key Features:
- Adaptable to Your Database: The module is database agnostic.
- Filtering and Adjustable Parameters: Pinpoint issues with configurable filters. Customize parameters to meet the needs of your system.
- Customizable Visualizations: Gain clearer insights with open and optional visual tools like tables, trends, and charts.
