In the general consumables industries, scrutiny from government agencies slowed the adoption of the DCS on a broad scale. As a result, manufacturers have experienced alarm issues later than in some other industries. The same scrutiny will drive interest in applying alarm management technologies to solve or prevent alarm related issues.

Let us introduce you to the world of alarm management, an activity that will save your operation hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost production and worker productivity. We start simply, by beginning to inventory your alarm problem. The information is captured into a database that will help you to be able to identify problems and possible corrective actions before doing more serious analysis. This part of the process is incredibly inexpensive. LogMate is used at over 1000 sites worldwide. It is field-proven, secure, and reliable.

When you're ready, we'll get you to the next stage. Our ACE package allows you to quantify just how bad your problem is, and begin to reduce the most problematic nuisance alarms. When you start to understand the problem, you'll want to make use of the AlarmKB to start documenting changes to the alarm system, using it as a Management of Change (MOC) platform to help you to sustain the benefits of a more balanced alarm design.

We can also help you to bring this information in to our TRAC performance dashboard that helps you to track ongoing alarm rates and progress in resolving operations issues.

LogMate AMS is designed with consideration of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Our packages are built on a Microsoft® .NET ASP® architecture that ensures a lower cost of installation and maintenance. The true thin-client interface makes desktop upgrades a thing of the past.

Are you ready to get started? Let's map out a solution that fits your needs and capabilities. The key is to get started, and to begin inventorying the alarm data which flows to your operators' workspace every minute. Alarm management is what we do, and we're the best at it. We've been helping people just like you solve problems just like this since 1990.
