The DynAMo Alarm and Operations Management software (photo) helps CPI operators to better manage operations and alarms, improve operator effectiveness, plant safety, availability and compliance. The solution provides a single, unified platform and user experience for all operations. It is a scalable offering that allows customers to start with simple Alarm Management or Operator Logbook functionality, and add other functions over time, as needed, to enable a fully integrated Operations Integrity solution. In addition to reducing alarms by up to 80% and reducing root-cause analysis time by 60% over competing methods, the software suite can also increase throughput by up to 8% and cut energy consumtpion by up to 5%, with a typical return on investment of less than three months, says the company. DynAMo can work with any vendor’s control system in addition to Honeywell’s Experion distributed control system (DCS) platform. — Honeywell, Houston
