Alarm Type

Alarm type refers to the association of specific alarm classifications with designated organizational entities. The tagging applies universally across the entire organization. This centralized approach ensures a standardized and consistent method of classifying alarms, fostering uniformity in the monitoring and response processes. By implementing Alarm Type tagging at the organizational level, businesses can optimize their alarm management practices, enhancing efficiency and coherence in addressing diverse alerts within the broader operational framework of the organization.
