In the event of a production disturbance, ensuring that the right information is sent to the right person at the right time is the starting point in reducing potential losses and re-establishing optimum productivity.

IW's solutions integrate with production management and control systems (e.g. SCADA and PLC) to immediately distribute alarms and critical messages to the wireless handheld units of the relevant engineering, maintenance and management staff.  With the advanced 2-way-messaging approach, if the initial recipient(s) are not in the position to immediately respond they can trigger an escalation path that will optimise the chances of a rapid response.
It is generally accepted that the best method to provide an immediate alarm notification is to broadcast an easy to read text message to wireless handheld devices.  Similarly it is globally agreed that the best method to co-ordinate an effective emergency response is by traditional voice communications - everyone in an open channe listening and informing as events progress.  IW's solution enables the response team dealing with a production disturbance to communicate openly from DECT or WiFi phones, cellular phones and wired telephones. As a result key personnel who are not on-site can still be a valuable part of the rectification process.
