The alarm statistics report in B&R”s APROL provides a clear, intuitive overview and makes it easy to reduce the frequency of nuisance alarms. A sustainable approach to alarm management can relieve plant personnel and improve safety.

Clearly organised and intuitive

APROL helps users process alarms efficiently and reliably. The alarm statistics report provides an overview of alarms that is clearly organised and intuitive. It provides key performance indicators (KPIs) for efficient alarm management per the requirements of EEMUA 191, ANSI/ISA 18.2 and IEC 62682.

Fewer consequential alarms

The consequential alarm report effectively identifies cause-and-effect relationships between alarms to help minimise the occurrence of consequential alarms.

APROL alarm reports are available via the intuitive web-based user interface that requires no additional software other than a web browser. With APROL, implementing alarm management could hardly be easier.
