Alarm Management and
Rationalization Solutions

Smart Alarm Management and Rationalization for Oil & Gas

In Oil & Gas and Process Industries, effective alarm management isn’t optional it’s critical. Poorly designed alarm systems can overwhelm operators with thousands of unnecessary alerts, causing fatigue, delayed reactions, and even safety incidents.

At Consyst, we deliver end-to-end Alarm Management and Rationalisation Solutions that help you regain control of your alarm environment. Our solutions combine engineering expertise and advanced software platforms to align your alarm systems with ISA 18.2 & EEMUA 191, ensuring compliance, operational efficiency, and plant safety.

Why Alarm Management Matters

Data-Driven Reliability

Continuous monitoring and KPI-based dashboards deliver actionable insights for system improvement.

Operational Efficiency

Eliminates alarm floods, false alerts, and nuisance alarms, allowing operators to focus on what truly matters.

Enhanced Safety

Reduces the risk of missing critical alarms, ensuring timely operator response during abnormal events.

Regulatory Compliance

Fully aligned with ISA 18.2, EEMUA 191, and other NOC standards.

Comprehensive Alarm Management Lifecycle

Our approach covers the full Alarm Management Lifecycle, helping industries establish governance, optimize existing systems, and sustain long-term performance improvements.

Our Two-Phase Approach

Phase 1Alarm Rationalisation Study

A structured engineering review process that evaluates and optimizes your existing alarm configurations.
This phase ensures every alarm serves a clear purpose, has a defined operator response, and contributes to safer plant operations.

Key Activities
  • Building a Master Alarm Database (MADB) with justified, documented, and approved alarms.
  • Conducting workshops with process, instrumentation, and operations teams.
  • Review of alarm configurations against philosophy and operational need.
  • Prioritizing alarms based on risk, consequence, and response time.
  • Collection of alarm dump, P&IDs, and HAZOP/SIL data.

Deliverables
  • Alarm Philosophy Document aligned with ISA 18.2 & EEMUA 191.
  • Rationalised Master Alarm Database (MADB).
  • Alarm Response Manual (ARM) for operator guidance.
  • Rationalisation Report and Recommendations

Phase 2Alarm Management Software Implementation

After rationalisation, we deploy an Alarm Management Platform that transforms alarm data into actionable intelligence.
This system ensures lifecycle governance, performance visibility, and auditable compliance.

Core Capabilities

Centralised Master Alarm Database (MADB)

A single authoritative source for all alarm configurations.

Workflow for Review & Approval

Structured approval process with audit trails and change tracking.

Management of Change (MoC)

Version control and documentation of all alarm setting updates.

Real-Time KPI Dashboards

Continuous monitoring of alarm rates, floods, chattering, and stale alarms.

Reporting & Analytics

Automated reports for shift handovers, top offenders, alarm floods, and operator response metrics.

Compliance Auditing

Periodic audits and trend analysis aligned with ISA 18.2 KPIs.

Title User Roles & Security

Role-based access control for engineering, operations, and management users.

Benefits

  • Visibility into alarm system health and operator performance.
  • Automatic identification of nuisance and stale alarms.
  • Continuous compliance tracking and governance.
  • Sustained performance through analytics and predictive trends.
