Andon Alerting for Station Down

We are going to check an example, where we want to be notified whenever one of the machines at the shopfloor are down.

Scenario

Let's say you are a line manager and one of your key responsibilities is ensuring proper productivity on the shop-floor. Therefore when one of the machines are malfunctioned or experiencing any kind of problem, you need to be notified about this as soon as possible to act quickly and solve the situation. This can be easily achieved by having an automation that listens to the Andon reports of all the machines, and whenever one of them sends "Station down" status, you get notified via email.

Use case

We are gonna use a prebuilt Library automation to save us some time and effort, so go to the Library page in tulip and search for "Andon Alerting for Station Down" project to download.

Configure automation

This automation doesn't require any modification and is fully functional after downloading it. If you want to use other kind of table instead of the one that came with the import, you can switch that according to you processes.

In this specific scenario we created this flow, where the automation runs whenever a new record is added to the Events table. it loads that specific record, and checks if the Event has the status of "station down" for the machine, and if so, it sends an email to the manager to act as soon as possible.
