Advanced Notification

Industry Challenges

In today’s fast paced environment where downtime is measured in thousand of dollars per minute, it is critical that information be shared with plant operation, maintenance and quality personnel immediately during production, not in tomorrow’s continuous improvement meeting.

Improving communication between the front-line employee and management can mean the difference between a production company and a manufacturing powerhouse. A notification system is paramount today given:

• Employees are required to support more and more assets or production areas
• Alarms need to escalate to a management level if not resolved promptly
• Pricing pressures are driving the reduction of plant personnel that therefore need more information to do their job – however, they only need information relative to their specific concerns or responsibilities.
