The Cost of Abnormal Situations 

Operating outside defined limits is responsible for to up to 76% of abnormal situations and equipment failures. This is a major contributor to the $20 billion per year lost to unplanned downtime in the process industry. 

Operating to Alarm Limits 

Control room operators often rely heavily on alarm limits to drive industrial processes to meet production plans. This increases the risk of abnormal situations and leaves little opportunity to run processes optimally to increase efficiency, reduce off-spec production and drive increased throughput and yield.

The Importance of Shift Handovers

Many industrial accidents and incidents occur within hours of a shift handover and are often due to failures in communication or misunderstandings. Incidents often take place during maintenance work or in the implementation of changes. 

Consistency and Access is Key 

Paper-based shift logs are restrictive in what they capture and can’t be easily shared with all those that need them. Even custom electronic document and email solutions require operators to spend significant time gathering data rather than operating their process. In both cases, a consistent shift handover process is difficult to achieve.
