Now, you can follow up on events requiring attention directly from Blockbax. With our newly released alarm management functionality you can keep track and resolve alarms according to a structured, industry-standard workflow (following best practices from ISA-18.2 and IEC 62682).

We’ve built Alarms in Blockbax to be able to handle alarms from existing systems like SCADA and BMS, as well as alarms from Blockbax’s condition-based event triggers – providing a uniform approach to handling alarms. When alarms are scattered across different systems, it makes it difficult to improve operations. Because we aim to do just this – unlock the full potential of data-driven operations - we believe a uniform approach is key, allowing you to leverage our flexible rules to minimize false alarms and prevent alarm fatigue.

With Alarms you can:

• Move alarms through workflow stages (unacked, acked and closed)
• Temporarily put alarms on hold and get notified after specified time
• Easily get the right information and context about the related asset
• View which changes are made on the alarm by different users
• Filter and sort alarms by status, priority and asset
• Use quick actions to automatically resolve an alarm once inactive or suppress it

Alarm management is only available to users on our Advanced and Enterprise plan - contact us if you are interested in trying it out. For a full overview of the alarm management functionality visit the docs.
