Alarm Rationalization Audit
Six questions. Find out how many operator-hours per week your operation wastes on nuisance alarms, and what that risk is costing you.
How many active alarms does your operation generate per day on average?
Frequently asked questions
What is alarm rationalization?
Alarm rationalization is the process of reviewing and reducing the number of alarms in an industrial control system to eliminate nuisance, redundant, or poorly configured alarms. The goal is to ensure every alarm requires operator action and that operators can process alarms before they cascade into failures.
What is a nuisance alarm?
A nuisance alarm is any alarm that fires without requiring operator action. This includes chattering alarms (triggered repeatedly by minor fluctuations), standing alarms (remain active without escalation), and false positives from static thresholds that do not account for normal operating variation.
How does Eyer help with alarm fatigue?
Eyer learns three dynamic baselines per metric from your historical data. Instead of firing when a value crosses a static threshold, it detects genuine deviations from learned normal behaviour. The result is fewer alarms, each with full context: what is deviating, which other signals correlate with it, the likely cause, and the recommended action.
