Email Automation
Email automation isn't about creating spam bots, but about an event causing emails to be sent to the right people. This works well for engineering people who want to be aware of how often certain events happen or to materials people that need to know that they need to order more material. By setting up an automated emailer companies can eliminate the middle man and ensure direct communication to those who need to react. One can then send an email back to the device, to clear an alarm shut it down or whatever.
This isn't anything new, sophisticated users have used alarms to trigger scripts in UNIX based systems for several years now. The problem with this is that requires an idepth knowledge of the operating system and connection whole DCS system with the plant network an exposure risk that many plants are not willing to risk.
There is a low cost hardware solution. KIBe-E is a device capable of featuring events and alerts notifications by sending and receiving e-mails, without the need for a PC.
You can connect a switch, sensor or alarm to your KIBe-E and quickly receive an e-mail notice of any unexpected situationoccurring within the system / machine / device you are monitoring. Because of its bi-directionality, KIBe-E can receive incoming e-mail messages and actively operate by enabling or disabling an output, such as a relay or any other device.
It is very easy to install and configure; it allows you to send up to 128 e-mail messages through an Ethernet network connected to the Internet through a Cable Modem, ADSL, wireless or telephone connection. All e-mail messages sent through KIBe-E can be configured according to the notice to be given. at about the size of a deck of cards it can be DIN rail mounted or screwed directly to a wall.
We at PCO are proudly selling these gems, and expect that they will find usage in the oil and chemical industrys, automated assembly lines and even in the car wash/vending machine bussiness. Contact us if you would like any further information.
