1. A method for alarm distribution, the method comprising;
- receiving one or more physiological parameters of one or more operators;
detecting a condition of the one or more operators based on the one or more physiological parameters;
assessing the condition of the one or more operators; and
generating an operator alarm response based on an assessed condition of the one or more operators.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for alarm distribution, the method including receiving one or more physiological parameters of one or more operators; detecting a condition of the one or more operators based on the one or more physiological parameters; deciding the condition of the one or more operators; and generating an operator alarm response based on the condition of the one or more operators. An intelligent alarm device is also disclosed that can utilize the method described herein. A processor is disclosed for intelligent alarm distribution to one or more operators determined to be in a fit condition.

9. An automation system for alarm management in a facility, the automation system comprising:
-
a first receiver module configured for receiving one or more operating parameters of the facility; a rule design module for detecting an alarm situation based on the one or more operating parameters; a second receiver module configured for receiving one or more physiological parameters of one or more operators, wherein the one or more operators monitor the one or more operating parameters of the facility in order to take corrective measures for an alarm situation; a sentient decision module for detecting a condition of one or more operators as either a fit condition or an unfit condition, and for deciding upon alarm allocation based on the condition of the operator; and an alarm distribution module for distributing an alarm response based on the condition of the one or more operators. - View Dependent Claims (10, 14)
