Product quality control.
This effect is reached through the development of process support and/or change measures. This is done with the help of statistical processing of past alarms and correct distribution of alarms according to their source (process units).
Equipment integrity.
This can be achieved by developing procedures aimed at effective and safe eqipment operation by means of statistical processing of past alarms and correct distribution of alarms according to the types of equipment.
