\"\"In an ideal world, a machine such as a coffee maker would typically only need to be programmed to manage the main functions of start, stop and make the coffee.\u00a0 However, in reality a lot more can happen with this coffee maker during operation, for instance the water or coffee tank can often be empty or a cup can become jammed into the machine.\u00a0 As with this everyday life example, unexpected event management is key for industrial machines, especially alarm management<\/strong>. And thus, it would not come as a surprise that there are several alternatives that can be adapted for use cases in industrial environments.<\/p>\n

Have a look at the different solutions presented below along with the pros and cons of each option and then determine which one you feel would work the best\u2026<\/p>\n

Solution 1:<\/em> Alarm Management through HMI\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> Full list of alarms, details on the alarm content<\/p>\n

Con: <\/strong>Long programming, cost and sizes of the screen not compatible with the most compact machines, visibility near the screen only<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solution 2<\/em>: Remote Alarm on your Phone\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong>\u00a0 Remote monitoring. Details on the alarm content<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> costly and high end system requiring programming & special infrastructure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Solution 3<\/em>: Tower light & sirens<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Pro:<\/strong> Easier installation without programming, perfect to attract the attention of a distant operator This solution also enable the usage of MP3 files to give fully voiced messages like \u201cfeeder alarm, please replace the blue ink\u201d.<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> Not practical for compact machines or for operators very closed to the machines<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solution 4:<\/em> \u00a0Diameter 22 mounting buzzers and illuminated buzzers\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> Very cost effective, perfect to attract the attention of a nearby operator<\/p>\n
