Sending Alarms and Process Data as Email or SMS Messages

Sending alarm notification text messages to operator cellphones.

A Canadian company uses the OPC DataHub to send SMS text messages to operator cellphones whenever an alarm condition is triggered. This gives the operators more freedom to work outside of the control room and still be notified as soon as attention is required.

Sending end-of-shift reports by email.

Using the Cogent DataHub (OPC DataHub pack), it is easy to configure summary reports as emails that are sent to managers by email on a regular basis. End-of-shift reports and weekly summary reports can be created as either plain text or HTML emails to present the data in desired format. It is easy to create well formatted reports that show the most recent data from your processes. This removes the errors associated with manual data entry and guarantees that reports will always be completed on time.

Email reminders to re-order supplies based on production levels.

The Cogent DataHub (OPC DataHub pack) makes it easy for you to set up sophisticated trigger conditions, so you can send an email reminder to the purchasing department, whenever stock levels drop below a certain level, based on the current production schedule and throughput. This allows companies to implement 'just-in-time' ordering based on real production levels and avoid holding too much material in stock during slow production periods.
