Three-Tier Severity System

Every alarm is classified by severity, ensuring appropriate response and escalation.

Critical

Immediate action required. Equipment at risk of failure or safety hazard.

  • Vibration exceeds safety limit
  • Temperature critical threshold
  • Emergency stop triggered

Warning

Attention needed. Parameter trending toward critical levels.

  • Bearing vibration increasing
  • Motor temperature rising
  • OEE dropping below target

Info

For awareness. Normal operations with noteworthy events.

  • Maintenance due in 7 days
  • Shift change completed
  • New baseline established

Advanced Alarm Capabilities

Smart Escalation Rules

Define escalation paths: if an alarm isn't acknowledged in 5 minutes, escalate to the supervisor. Then the plant manager. Configurable per alarm type.

Alarm Analytics

Track alarm frequency, duration, and response times. Identify chatty alarms, stale alarms, and alarms that operators always ignore.

Multi-Channel Notifications

Push alarms via SMS, email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or phone call. Different channels for different severities.

Alarm Suppression

Automatically suppress nuisance alarms during known conditions: startups, changeovers, planned maintenance windows.

Correlation Engine

Detect when multiple alarms fire together — often they share a root cause. Group related alarms to reduce noise.

Compliance Logging

Full audit trail of every alarm: when it fired, who acknowledged it, when it was resolved. Ready for regulatory audits.

Cut Through the Noise

The average plant generates 1,200+ alarms per day. Most are noise. MachineCDN helps you focus on the ones that matter.
