Alarm management is one of the most critical functions of a SCADA system. If the alarm management is poor, operators may become inundated with more alarms than they can handle. This can result in crucial alarms being overlooked, incorrect diagnosis of problems, and delayed or inadequate responses to critical events.
Poor alarm management can lead to:
Missed or delayed responses to critical events
Costly downtime and reputation damage
Increased risk of safety related incidents
Unnecessary strain and stress on the team
