ECM/8 Event Monitoring Unit

Lester May Associates were commissioned by Ashwood Eco Ltd. to design and manufacture an Event Monitoring Unit from their initial concept. The unit is a dual band GSM remote monitor that is connected to a customer's equipment and will report via GSM if the customer's equipment's circuits have failed or if the consumables are low.

When a fault condition occurs, a text message is sent via SMS to the Ashwood Event Handler, this in turn relays the message to the Customer's chosen personnel's mobile phone, emails to the customer's chosen blackberry/pda/laptops and updates to the customer's own dedicated security protected website.

The received message will be date and time stamped, give the location and fault condition and uploaded in real time to the Latest Faults page on the Customer's secure webpage. Comments can be added to that event for instance, engineer dispatched, parts ordered etc. avoiding the need for a service manager to act as a dispatcher. When the Engineer rectifies the fault a Unit Operational signal is sent, again to the Customer's nominated personnel via the various mediums mentioned earlier and the fault will clear from the Latest Faults page and be placed in the History File. All previous events and comments for that particular site can be viewed in this window.
