Machine Advisor’s MACHINE OFFLINE application enables you to define, based on a selected variable, after how many minutes of sending inactivity a machine is reported as offline. If Machine Advisor does not receive data for the selected variable within the predefined time frame (in minutes) the application will trigger an alert.
The selected variable will be monitored to confirm if data is received. If no new data was received within the predefined time frame, a notification is triggered to inform you that your machine is offline. The result of an MACHINE OFFLINE application is a new variable.
Once the application is successfully installed, make sure to subscribe for application notification. When subscribing to the MACHINE OFFLINE application, Machine Advisor will send you a notification via your preferred communication channel (e-mail or messenger service) or notifies a selected mailing list in case of an alert.
