Use case · Manufacturing

Machine alerts on the device your operators already wear

A stopped line, a jammed feeder, a temperature alarm. Cuebly sends the fault straight to the safety device or app of the right operator, the same device that protects them when they work alone.

How it works

From a machine fault to the operator, in one flow

Step 1 · Fault

A machine stops

Line 3 jams. The control panel switches a fault contact, as it already does for the warning light.

  • Fault contact
  • Relay

Step 2 · Gateway

The I/O gateway notices

A Teltonika I/O gateway on that contact sends an event to Cuebly. Other systems, such as SCADA, can call the API or a webhook instead.

  • Teltonika I/O
  • API
  • Webhook

Step 3 · Scenario

The scenario picks the people

The scenario for this input knows which operators and which technician belong to line 3, and what the message should say.

  • Per machine
  • Per shift

Step 4 · Message

The message lands on their device

“Line 3 stopped, feeder jammed” appears on the operator’s TWIG and in the Cuebly app of the shift leader.

  • Direct messages
  • Critical messages

Step 5 · Log

On record

The operator clears the jam and the line runs again. The message and who received it are in the log.

  • Log

Why it works

One device for safety and for the machines

Operators walk around

A warning light only helps when someone sees it. A message on the device they wear reaches them anywhere in the hall.

Too loud for a beep

In a noisy hall a horn gets missed. A vibrating device with the text of the fault does not.

Nothing extra to carry

The device that detects a fall or sends an SOS also shows the machine alert. No pager next to it.

Built on what is there

A fault contact exists on almost every machine. A small I/O gateway is enough to connect it.

Getting started

Connecting the first machine

Pick the contacts

Choose the machine faults that matter, such as a stop, a jam or a temperature alarm, and find their contacts.

An afternoon on site

Place the gateway

Wire a Teltonika I/O gateway to those contacts. It is added in Cuebly like any other device.

Minutes per gateway

Write the scenario

Link each input to the right people and the text of the message, per line or per shift.

Under an hour

Test and go

Trigger each contact once, check that the message arrives on the right devices, and hand it over.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does a machine talk to Cuebly?

The simplest way is a Teltonika I/O gateway on a potential-free contact or relay of the machine or its control panel. When the contact switches, the gateway sends an event to Cuebly. Systems with software of their own can also call Cuebly through the API or a webhook.

Which devices can show the message?

Devices with a display, such as TWIG devices, show the text. The Cuebly app shows it as a critical message. Devices without a display can still get a call or an SMS on a phone.

Is this the same device as their man down alarm?

Yes. Operators keep one device for their own safety and for the machine messages. The man down and SOS alarms keep working as before.

Who gets the message?

You decide in the scenario: the operator of that line, everyone on the shift, a team or a technician. Every input of the gateway can have its own text and its own people.

Can we see what happened afterwards?

Yes. Every message and who received it is kept in the log for that customer.
