Energy Development Corporation will use Honeywell Forge and Alarm Performance Optimizer to enhance alarm management across multiple sites.
Honeywell announces that Energy Development Corporation (EDC), the “leading renewable energy producer in the Philippines,” will implement Honeywell Forge Alarm Management to optimize the performance of industrial alarm systems. EDC will implement the suite, including the new Alarm Performance Optimizer module, at seven of its sites in the Philippines. The offering will reportedly enable EDC to improve operational efficiency and safety, monitor compliance with corporate alarm guidelines and enhance alarm management across its sites.
Alarm system performance may degrade over time due to inadequate maintenance. This can result in recurring false alarms and operator overload. According to testing by Honeywell, average results from Alarm Performance Optimizer can deliver up to a 25% reduction in alarm rationalization cycle time, up to a 15% improvement in operator response times and up to 10% reduction in console alarm loads, in addition to the benefits already obtained from other Honeywell Forge Alarm Management modules.
“Companies can face a significant challenge managing tens of thousands of alarms, often across multiple sites,” says Anand Vishnubhotla, chief product officer, Honeywell Connected Industrial. “As more organizations centralize their alarm management processes, the capabilities of Alarm Performance Optimizer enable organizations to centrally assess the health of each site’s alarm systems to identify underperformance and improve configuration to help ensure efficiency and safer operations.”
