Machine Alarm
Production · Machine Operations · AI-Powered
React to machine alerts in real-time by digitally connecting machines to the right people.
Mobile machine alarms ensure machines are up and running
Trigger automated resolution tasks when machines break down and resolve incidents without delays. When a machine disruption occurs, mobile alerts are instantly sent to the best-fit operator -- based on priority, skill, and their location. Tasks are automatically routed and tracked, and the action taken is logged for future analysis and continuous improvement.
5% Increased OEE
Improve overall equipment effectiveness by eliminating delays and miscommunication
Increased Throughput
Produce more without adding extra shifts or machines with optimized workflows and real-time decisions
20% Faster Reaction Times
Drastically cut the time between issue and response with instant notifications and automated workflows
Define your delegation logic
If incidents are not resolved in time or no technicians are available, you can configure how tasks should be escalated or delegated. Each repair task can be equipped with timeouts and deadlines to minimize any downtime.
Connect your machines
Connect your machines to the Workerbase Platform via standard connectors. All common protocols such as OPC-UA, MQTT, and REST interfaces are supported. Any data is standardized by the platform to ensure highest data quality.
Configure your data points
Define the information you want to display in the app. This can be any data point sent from your machine (such as the error code, machine identifier or any sensor data). Data can be enriched with contextual information.
Define your notification logic
Configure how the machine breakdown alert is sent out to your operators. This can be configured by criteria such as priority, location, and skill level. Additionally you can include instructions on how to resolve the breakdown and enable the AI Troubleshooting Agent.
Why use the Machine Alarm App?
Existing Processes
- Conventional audio or visual signals remain overlooked (e.g. on patrols or go-and-see walks)
- Lack of information regarding errors
- Manual escalation by phone or in person
- Root causes not documented
With Workerbase
- Real time alerts about machine errors sent to mobile devices of operators
- Contextual information immediately available (e.g., alarm history, troubleshooting, error code explanation)
- Automatic escalation via configurable rules
- All information automatically digitally documented (e.g., resolution times, root causes)
