Monitoring and Alarm Interpretation in Industrial Environments

The ‘ALARM’ research group has been running two years as a multidlabs group within the French National Program on Artificial Intelligence PRCdIA. The group’s objective was to bring together representatives of the academic and industrial worlds in order to analyze, on real applications, the various problems raised by alarm interpretation and to define the potential benefits of AI techniques in this field. This paper presents the conclusions stemming from the analysis and discussions which took place during this period. It describes the industrial applications which the members of the group dealt with and compares them in a table with respect to several criteria identified as the most significant.
