Various embodiments for an alarm performance optimizer are disclosed. An embodiment operates by receiving information about a status of each of a plurality of alarm configurations monitored by a control system. Calculating one or more alarm configuration health metrics based on the received information. The calculated one or more alarm configuration health metrics are displayed in a user interface. A first action that will increase a value of a first alarm metric of the one or more alarm configuration health metrics is identified. The first action is displayed on the user interface. A selection of the first action is received via the user interface. The user interface is updated to display additional details about a subset of the plurality of alarm configurations associated with the first action.

Alarm performance optimizer

A method includes identifying changes in an alarm count for at least one alarm to be generated in an industrial process control and automation system. The changes in the alarm count are based on a plurality of different sets of alarm settings. The method also includes presenting the changes in the alarm count to a user and receiving a selection of one of the sets of alarm settings. The method further includes configuring the industrial process control and automation system with the selected set of alarm settings to enable the industrial process control and automation system to generate alarms using the selected set of alarm settings.

Methods for analytics-driven alarm rationalization, assessment of operator response, and incident diagnosis and related systems

A method includes obtaining one or more modified properties associated with at least one of an alarm to be generated by an industrial process control and automation system and a process controller within the industrial process control and automation system. The method also includes obtaining historical data associated with actual operation of the control and automation system. The method further includes simulating operation of one or more components of the control and automation system using the one or more modified properties. The method also includes identifying one or more simulated alarms generated during the simulated operation of the one or more components using the one or more modified properties. In addition, the method includes outputting the one or more simulated alarms. The method could also include receiving one or more approvals of the one or more modified properties and providing the one or more modified properties to the process controller.
