The whitepaper discusses the importance of safety culture in achieving a smarter and safer working environment. It highlights statistics on work-related accidents and diseases, the cost of poor safety culture, and the need for a true safety culture achieved through company leadership.
The plant still has legacy OT systems that pose significant challenges in a modern ammonia manufacturing environment due to their limited functionality, which can prevent the adoption of advanced technologies and tools needed to keep up with current production demands. These systems often require costly and hard-to-find maintenance and support as they age, and they lack robust cybersecurity measures, making them vulnerable to cyber threats.

UACS alarm shelving allows operators to temporarily suppress or "shelf" certain alarms. This can be useful in situations where an alarm is not critical or requires further investigation before an action is taken. Shelving an alarm typically means that it is acknowledged but not actively alarming, so it can be reviewed for later action.
This video introduces Unified Alarms and Conditions Server (UACS) for CENTUM VP. It covers some basic capabilities of UACS. UACS is a centralized alarm management system that helps to drive compliance with ISA 18.2. UACS is responsible for implementing and maintaining the alarms throughout the management life cycle.
