Message analysis

Message analysis classifies warnings, errors and downtimes in terms of time and function. This makes it possible to identify which alarm sequences actually lead to production losses and at which stations recurring patterns build up.

What the message analysis does

Stop unplanned downtimes

Message analysis records every error, warning and fault in real time. Instead of manual notes or isolated alarm views, you get a centralized view of which alarms occur most frequently, where they occur and how they are related.

Raw data from the control system such as bit arrays are translated into clear events. You can see which 20 % of alarms cause 80 % of stoppages and which warning sequences typically lead to stops.

This is particularly helpful if individual alarms are not very meaningful on their own, but their sequence or combination indicates mechanical, electrical or process-related causes.

How it works

We record all controller alarms via the IIoT connector library (S7, OPC UA, Beckhoff and more). An event model assigns them to assets, stations, lines or processes and makes alarm sequences, frequencies and precursors available for analysis.

  • Complete alarm history for comparison and trend analysis.
  • Automatic clustering of causes and recurring error chains.

Challenges addressed

When alarm analysis is essential

Frequent unexplained stoppages

Stops happen without clear causes or reliable documentation.

Long restart times

Teams spend too much time searching for the causes of errors.

No view of error chains

Messages are viewed in isolation instead of as linked sequences.

Measurable advantages

Impact on availability

01

Faster root cause analysis

Problems are identified and solved more quickly, reducing unplanned downtime.

02

Objective decisions

All reports are recorded objectively so that improvements are data-driven.

03

Continuous improvement

Measure the impact of measures immediately and ensure CIP in the long term.

04

Less firefighting

Teams work more proactively with fewer stressful breakdowns.
