Furnace Plus Alarms

Stay up-to-date checking alarm statistics, historical and current alarms and warnings

Alarms is a module allowing to check the historical alarm statistics of a given device. The user has a full view of active alarms and warnings and access to their history in a configurable time range.

The alarm statistics show the 10 most frequent alarms in a given time range. The statistics are presented in the form of a table where you can see; the alarm description, number of occurrences in a given time interval and relative frequency (presentation of alarm occurrences in a graphical and numerical way in relation to all alarms expressed as a percentage).

The module main functions are:

• possibility to review all alarms and warnings on the furnace
• possibility to review all alarms and warnings from the Seco/Predictive module resulting from individual algorithms
• email notifications-> when an alarm or warning is generated
• selecting the alarm confirmation type (“Undefined” – no alarm confirmation “Correct” – alarm display in accordance with the device status, “Incorrect” – the alarm should not appear) and insert your own comment

Alarms display:

• from the Seco/Predictive module (alarms and warnings resulting from individual algorithms – e.g. Exceeded resistance value)
• from the furnace (e.g. Gauge damage)

Alarms Benefits:

• Corrective actions: Recognize common problems and take quick corrective actions
• Easily identifying the most common problems means preparing for possible failures and minimizing downtime
• Production safety: Tracking irregularities permits users to make an appropriate response, increasing the safety and continuity of the furnace operation and the production process
• Monitoring: thanks to access to important information, users can quickly identify potential problems and solve them
• Access to information about failures without physical presence at the furnace means:
• Security: ability to remotely monitor the furnace status, which enables users to quickly respond in the event of a failure or irregularity
• Time-saving: access to information eliminates the need to inspect the furnace in person and quickly assess whether and what type of action is required
• Efficiency: supervisors can concentrate on other tasks while monitoring furnace status
