OTCognix tracks both threshold/condition alarms and production stoppage events so teams can respond immediately and quantify lost production time.

Alarms & Events

1. Configure Rules (Configuration → Alarms & Events): Define threshold, rate-of-change, or gated alarm rules on monitored tags.
2. Real-Time (Alarms & Events → Real-Time): Watch active alarms as they trigger and clear.
3. Analysis (Alarms & Events → Analysis): Review alarm frequency, chattering, and top offending tags.
4. Journal (Alarms & Events → Journal): Audit historical alarm transitions and acknowledgments.

Downtime

• Downtime Capture (Downtime → Downtime Capture): Review automatically detected stoppages (stoppage-detection-service) and classify downtime reasons using your plant catalogs.
• Downtime Analytics (Downtime → Downtime Analytics): Quantify downtime hours, pareto causes, and availability trends across production units.
