Success Story: VTTI Fujairah Terminal using X-Force Alarm Information Management System

Limited alarm visualization and storage facilities in ABB Freelance DCS.

All alarms and events appear in a burst condition.

Fail to recognize day-to-day bad actors in the alarm history records.

Lack of analytical or monitoring tool to ascertain the root cause and take corrective actions during abnormal plant conditions.

No EEMUA 191 or ANSI/ISA-18.2 implementation procedure to achieve alarm rationalization.

Configured X-Force AIMS with ABB Freelance DCS station.

Customized reports to display Frequent Alarm, Chatter Alarm, Standing Alarm, etc.

Report segregation features allows operators to view only relevant alarm.

Advanced reporting tool and KPI dashboard for accurate visualization, with weekly or monthly reports to demonstrate the root cause of every alarm.

EEMUA 191 or ANSI/ISA-18.2 global standards compliance.

X-Force AIMS enabling VTTI Fujairah Terminal to implement immediate corrective action, thus reducing downtime and risk of losses.

SSM InfoTech solutions significantly increase refinery efficiency by leveraging operators' focus on critical alarms.

Alarm rationalization as per the international standards.
