In pharmaceutical facilities, the monthly BMS alarm review is usually built by hand. Export the log, pivot it by cause, then find someone to check the numbers before it can be signed.
O-Insights for Niagara builds the review from Tridium Niagara BMS data instead. The reviewer opens it already knowing which causes are driving the count and which alarms need a product quality impact assessment.
From review to signed record
- Alarm counts broken down by cause, ready for review
- Alarms that need a product quality impact assessment already identified
- Tickets raised where follow-up is required
- The same document reviewed, signed and filed
The periodic review moves off spreadsheets, and Niagara stays the BMS of record.
