Respond quickly to machine alarms with PageRouter

How important is it for you to automatically deliver detailed machine alarms to staff, within SECONDS?

Factories, refineries, power plants, and industry in general invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in robotics, machine automation, and modern computer-based systems to boost production and cut manufacturing costs, remaining competitive.

These costly productivity systems often generate alarms that must be quickly routed to service and production staff. Traditional loudspeakers, strobes, smartphones, and two-way radios are ineffective in noisy factories. Response times to alarms also increase due to inaccurate alarm details, which extends the downtime of robots and automated machines. This loss of time is very costly and cannot be recovered.

Use PageRouter to instantly deliver machine-generated detailed alarms to staff.

Deliver precise machine text alarms to staff from PLCs within seconds! Minimize downtime. PageRouter filters specific machine alarms based on text content for delivery to an individual or to selected Groups of people carrying CanamexCom in-house pager receivers. Optionally, PageRouter can send machine alarm messages to executives using smartphones and tablets connected to internal Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

Be aware that other solutions on the market try to imitate PageRouter by sending emails or SMS messages to staff with smartphones and commercial pagers, but we all know that these communication formats should not be used for critical factory alarms because they are unreliable or take too long to reach the recipients.

Choose PageRouter options as needed

The PageRouter system includes a TeraMessage XT computer running PageRouter software, connected to a DigiPager paging transmitter with its antenna and accessories.

PageRouter offers the following license options to configure the solution in accordance with your specific needs:

PageAlarm: Send detailed alarms generated by PLCs, production controllers, and computers. Send alarms to selected staff determined by programming words to match in the machine alarm text. On each match, edit the alarm text words, remove unwanted text characters, and add or delete text to clarify the meaning of the machine alarm. Program the individual or group who must receive the alarm based on the word match.

PageAlert: Program detailed canned alarm messages in PageRouter to be transmitted when the corresponding machine, floor pushbutton, or PLC relay contact opens, closes, or both. Alarm escalation to secondary personnel is also included. Use PA-16 PageAlert modules to monitor up to 96 machine and PLC relay contacts.

TeraMessage Mobile: Factory managers and other executives can receive machine alarms on their smartphones and tablets within seconds via local Wi-Fi or cellular networks. TeraMessage Mobile users can also exchange messages with TeraMail users.

TeraMail: Send messages to staff from unlimited computers using a browser. There is no need to install special software clients. Administrators can organize staff by Groups and Departments. i.e.: Work Shifts, Emergency Response, Maintenance, etc.

Alarm and Message Log: PageRouter creates a detailed master log of all sent messages to track alarms and monitor operations. The log also stores messages sent by individuals using TeraMail and TeraMessage Mobile. Export filtered messages for your alarm statistical analysis.
