The Need for Backup and Replacement Alarm Callout Systems
Standalone and SCADA Based Alarm Callout Systems are widely used in Industries to alert operating personnel of out of range operating conditions vial voice, email, and SMS notifications. Both replacement and backup alarm callout systems can be necessary with existing standalong and SCADA based callout systems.
Replacement Alarm Callout Systems are required for critical industrial processes when:
- Alarm Callout System are Unreliable
- Technology Obsolence
- Systems Unmaintainable
Backup / Redundant Alarm Callout Systems are required when:
- Existing system have been or can be affected by diasters like hurricanes and flooding.
- Redundancy is required for critical processes / infrastructure.
Alarm System Unrelible
- POTS Wireline is unreliable.
- Cellular Coverage is unreliable in remote area.
Alarm System Uunmaintainable
- Legacy Alarm Systems application / configuration software made non functional by operating system upgrade.
- Maintenance Staff does not have familiarity with existing Alarm Callout System.
- System is remote and requires reconfiguration. Existing systems do not have remote configuration ability.
Technology Obsolence
- Software based Dialer Systems are made non functional by operating systems upgrade.
- POTS landline have been or are being eliminated.
- Legacy Cellular Dialer Systems are obsoleted by 3G Sunseting/Shutdown,
Resilency from Diaster
- Satellite based Alarm Callouts offer resilency from diaster affecting landline and cellular systems.
- Standalone systems backup against existing local or complex software / SCADA based callout systems.
