Most facility teams ignore 80% of their BAS alarms because they cannot tell which ones matter. Signal Alarm Analytics applies ISA 18.2 rationalization to rank every alarm by chatter, nuisance rate, and operational impact.
Four scoring engines run continuously across every alarm point in your BAS.
Categorize every alarm by priority, consequence, and time-to-respond. Build the master alarm list ISA 18.2 requires automatically, from your historical data.
Identify alarms that fire and clear repeatedly within a short window. Filter, suppress, or auto-acknowledge based on your rules.
The top 10% of points generate 80% of your alarm volume. Signal names them, ranks them, and tracks them week-over-week.
Tie every alarm to the asset it affects, the criticality of that asset, and downstream consequences. The 12 that matter rise to the top.
Live ranking of the alarm points generating the most noise. Click through to suppress, retag, or escalate. Every change is audit-logged and recalibrates your master alarm list automatically.
Most teams cut alarm volume 60-80% in the first 30 days just by addressing the top 20 bad actors.
How this looks in your stack.

// top 50 alarm sources by volume, 7-day window [ { "point": "@b3.ahu-3.zoneTemp", "events_7d": 1842, "avg_dwell_s": 38, "impact_score": 2.1, "recommend": "deadband + delay" } ]
On-premise by default. Cloud-deployable when required. Your facility data never leaves your network.
TLS everywhere, secrets in vault, row-level security on every query. Containerized and isolated so one service going down never takes the rest with it.

ISA 18.2 (also IEC 62682) is the international standard for alarm management in process industries. It defines the alarm lifecycle, master alarm list, rationalization, and performance metrics. Signal applies it to BAS alarms.
Most teams cut volume 60-80% in the first 30 days by addressing the top 20 bad actors Signal identifies. The remaining alarms are then ranked by impact, not chronology.
Yes rules-based auto-acknowledgment, dwell-time filters, deadbands, and shelving with timeouts. Every suppression is audit-logged and reportable.

Alarm analytics is the front door. The rest of Signal closes the loop.
Send us 30 days of alarm history. We will run it through Signal and show you exactly which 20 points are responsible for 80% of your noise and what to do about them.
