A complete solution for YOUR Alarm & EVENT Management

DCS, HMI and SCADA vendors provide varying solutions for alarm management but these are specific to a manufacturer or single plant. 

What makes Alarm Sentinel unique is it provides an overarching solution for easy, consistent analysis of alarm and events covering a wider data set such as historians, IoT applications, PI notifications, PI Event Frames and anomaly detection via PI AF and 3rd party machine learning tools.

Alarm Sentinel can cost effectively provide advanced analysis & actionable insights across the organization including the control room, engineering, operations and management teams.
