exida and Emerson Partner for Alarm Management
May 18, 2011
Emerson today released DeltaV™ Analyze V2.0 software to help process automation operators manage alarm system performance to new industry standards. Concurrently, the company announced an alliance with automation safety certification and consulting firm exida whose alarm rationalization software can optimize Emerson’s DeltaV process automation system alarms.
Emerson’s alliance with exida leverages exida’s SILAlarm™ alarm rationalization software to optimize the DeltaV system’s alarm performance. “Alarm rationalization is one of the key activities in ISA-18.2’s alarm management lifecycle and is critical to create a sustainable and effective alarm management program,” says exida’s Todd Stauffer, director of Alarm Management services. “SILAlarm delivers benefits to operations that previously would have considered rationalization too burdensome and expensive. The results include reduced alarm load on the operator, no more nuisance alarms and improved operator response.”
