Ewon Cosy supports alarm notifications

HMS Industrial Networks announces that their award-winning Industrial Remote Access router, Ewon Cosy, now supports e-mail and SMS notifications. This means that once an alarm fires, Cosy users will be able to understand where and when the issue occu

The alarm notification feature is released for Ewon Cosy 131 as part of a firmware update which also includes a new modern user-interface, WAN fallback and support for 4G connectivity. The new firmware is supported by all Cosy 131 versions (Ethernet, WiFi, 3G and 4G).

Thanks to Ewon Cosy, connected machines can literally talk to its users. With the new alarm notification feature, users will always be made aware of critical incidents, no matter if they are on site on the factory floor or in a meeting room. The notifications can be sent by e-mail and SMS, and users can easily configure Cosy to send them directly to those who need to know.

“With Ewon Cosy alarm notifications, the machines themselves can inform operators and maintenance workers when malfunctions and unintended process stops occur” says Marie-Luce Bodineau, Product Manager at HMS. “Users can both free up staff and minimize the time that is spent waiting on operators to alert staff of equipment and process issues.”
