Too Many Alarms? It's Time For SuperSCADA!

What’s the biggest challenge our customers face on the plant floor? Ding ding ding—that’s right, managing alarms. 

Last week, we held a webinar for customers on how to increase operator productivity. We polled the audience about their greatest challenges. Here was the list of possible responses:

•    Too many alarms
•    Not enough operators / budget
•    Errors during manual processes
•    High turnover of workers / lack of skills
•    Complexity of processes
•    Regulatory requirement

“Too many alarms” is still the biggest challenge!  I thought high turnover of workers would win with so much of the experienced workforce retiring. By the way, regulatory requirements came in lowest.
