F. Hoffmann-La Roche: GxP Compliant Alarm Handling with Event Frames and AF
The RIPIN (Roche Interface for PI Event Frames) application replaces OSIsoft's PI AlarmView application previously used in Roche with a GxP compliant interface for Event Frames using standardized Event Frame templates with attributes and an AF Server structure as a meta database. It provides a link to a CoreSight AdHoc display for every alarm. The new GUI is web based allowing users to acknowledge and annotate alarms/events , including access on mobile devices. PI System tags can be implemented that provide backwards compatibility to the old alarm tags so that existing ProcessBook displays can be used without any changes.
