AAS

Advanced Alarm Management System

overview

Cut Alarm Noise. Protect Operator Attention.

In a modern control room the problem is rarely too few alarms — it's too many: duplicated, stale, poorly prioritized, arriving in floods. SUPCON AAS applies a full alarm-management lifecycle aligned with international practice, moving plants from reactive alarm handling to reliable alarm performance.

Key modules

Smarter Alarm Management

Benchmark & Assessment

Know where your alarm system stands

Collect alarm history and benchmark current performance.

Assess average and maximum alarms per hour.

Identify alarm flood, priority imbalance, and nuisance-alarm patterns.

Set performance targets and KPI structure.

rationalization & documentation

Make every alarm meaningful

Identify intermittent, duplicated, stale, fleeting, and nuisance alarms

Use templates and guidelines for cross-functional rationalization

Build alarm documentation for process, instrument, equipment, HSE, production, and maintenance teams

dynamic alarm managment

Alarms that adapt to operating state

Use state-based alarm strategies to improve alarm-system relevance

Reduce alarm load during transitions and abnormal conditions

Help operators rely on the alarm system instead of ignoring it

maintenance, audit & change

Keep alarm performance from drifting

Alarm audit and performance monitoring

Alarm change management support

Training, service, and ongoing improvement workflows

Key Capabilities

Alarm Performance Cockpit

View alarm levels, alarm counts, acknowledgement status, classifications, KPIs, and alarm trends from a customizable management cockpit.

Alarm Benchmarking

Classify alarm-system performance from alarm-flood conditions to stable, reliable alarm-system operation under different working conditions.

Nuisance Alarm Identification

Detect intermittent, duplicated, stale, fleeting, and nuisance alarms that overload operators and reduce trust in the alarm system.

Statistical Alarm Analysis

Use more than 20 statistical algorithms to build alarm KPIs, identify TOP 10/20/30 high-frequency alarms, and prioritize elimination work.

Alarm Rationalization Workflow

Support cross-functional rationalization involving process, instrumentation, equipment, HSE, production, and maintenance teams.

State-Based Alarm Management

Use dynamic alarm management based on operating state to improve alarm relevance during changing plant conditions.
