Alarm Management Solutions Continue to Outpace the Process Automation Market According to New ARC Research

New ARC Advisory Group research on the industrial alarm management solutions market reveals that alarm management in general continues to be a big issue in hydrocarbon processing plants, chemical plants, power plants, and other industrial process plants around the world.  This is driven largely by the need to conform to current standards and best practices like ISA 18.2, EEMUA 191, and IEC 62682.  The primary goal of these standards and practices is to develop a continuous improvement approach to alarm management and ease the alarm burden on operators, so they only see the information they need to see, particularly during process upsets or other abnormal situations.  Ultimately, companies realize that proper alarm management improves the bottom line.

“The refining, chemical, and oil and gas industries continue to be the largest consumers of alarm management solutions worldwide due to the complex operating environments and the catastrophic potential, from both an economic and a health, safety, and environmental standpoint, of operating errors,” according to Mark Sen Gupta, Research Director at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Alarm Management Global Market Research report.
