Why Mobile Alerting is needed in Building Automation
Disruption in the building – who takes care of it?
Building automation relies on fast responses to issues that could impact safety, comfort, or operations. Mobile alerting enhances the responsiveness and efficiency of facility managers, technicians, and emergency personnel.
- RImmediate response to building system disruptions
- RMinimized downtime and operational impact
- RIncreased safety for people and property
- ROptimized workflows and reduced operational costs
- RFewer unnecessary checks – respond only when needed
Preventing Critical Failures by using Mobile Alerting
Mobile Alerting
Modern building systems – like HVAC, access control, ventilation, or lighting—generate real-time data. But detecting an issue isn’t enough. Failures and disruptions can have serious consequences. Without fast, reliable communication, even the best monitoring systems fall short. SIGNL4 offers a variety of features to bridge the gap between detection and action:
- RAlerting via app push, SMS, email, or voice call
- RAlways informed - even on the go
- RMobile acknowledgment, tracking and escalations in case of no response
