UReason has developed a unique data mining algorithm that allows you to discover patterns in alarm and event logs. The site survey document will discuss the results of pattern discovery that was found in your alarm data.
- Alarm grouping: The survey describes the added value of alarm grouping based on examples found in your alarm data.
