Abstract

Alarm management is an important task to ensure the safety of industrial process technologies. A well‐designed alarm system can reduce the workload of operators parallel with the support of the production, which is in line with the approach of Industry 5.0. Using Process Mining tools to explore the operator‐related event scenarios requires a goal‐oriented log file format that contains the start and the end of the alarms along with the triggered operator actions. The key contribution of the work is that a method is presented that transforms the historical event data of control systems into goal‐oriented log files used as inputs of process mining algorithms. The applicability of the proposed process mining‐based method is presented concerning the analysis of a hydrofluoric acid alkylation plant. The detailed application examples illustrate how the extracted process models can be interpreted and utilized. The results confirm that applying the tools of process mining in alarm management requires a goal‐oriented log‐file design.
