Frequently Asked Questions
With control system agnostic tools designed to address today’s alarm and safety system lifecycle requirements, Honeywell Alarm Management enables you to demonstrate compliance to standards and best practices, which in turn enables you to reduce downtime, production deviations and operational risk.
An alarm system is an essential layer of protection, required to help prevent the estimated $10B per year lost to abnormal situations. A typical incident can cost $100K-$1M while major ones can exceed $80M.
Standards bodies recommend an operator receive less than 6-8 alarms an hour, but industry averages are more than 4 times this. When needed most, operators ignore alarm systems as they are overwhelmed. In response, many in the process industries are centralizing the alarm management process.
Ensuring safety is vital to protect people, environment and assets. Process safety must be continuously ensured as unwanted events occur if shutdown systems and safety elements do not operate as expected.
The process of validation often relies on planned shutdowns and manual data gathering which is time consuming and error prone. Industry leaders are using software to reduce error and capture financial benefits.
The process safety analyzer component of Honeywell Alarm Management automates the process of validating process safety elements. This in turn helps continuously ensure process safety and demonstrate activities, and reduce the time and effort required to perform both post-shutdown and periodic validation activities.
