The modern alternative to traditional alarm panels
PAMS has been designed to provide a highly reliable alarm status monitoring package to replace traditional manual alarm panels and outdated alarm logging methods. With highly configurable layouts of alarms, user restrictions and configuration, PAMS uses touchscreens to display status information to users. Alarms can be either shown individually as separate buttons or grouped together for high level presentations which allow the user to drill down further into the group or selection.
The touch screen functionality provides a quick and intuitive method of acknowledging status changes whilst keyboard and mouse are availabile for more complex tasks such as alarm configuration and report generation.
