Historic Alarms

From PLC Wiki


The Historic Alarms section provides the team with a detailed history of all alarms at any point in time. Using this record, it is easy to track previous alerts, check which issues recur, and actually detect patterns that may call for long-term solutions or preventive measures. Each alarm entry contains information such as time stamps, resolution actions taken, and the personnel that take care of the alarm.

Looking through these data can enable the team to:


  • Identify Recurring Issues: Spot trends or areas that consistently cause problems, helping prioritize areas for improvement or optimization.
  • Evaluate Interventions: Assess how effective past solutions were, providing insights to refine future responses and strategies.

Historic alarms in systems should be analyzed, keeping the team traceable on system trends, measuring the impact of past actions for data-based decisions on improving system reliability and efficiency. Teams are able to proactively manage the system, reduce recurring problems, and foster continuous improvement from learning past alarms.
