B&R continues to expand its mapp Technology software framework. The new mapp Tweet function allows a machine application to send information via text message or email. The increased intelligence boosts machine availability.
Automated text messaging
The new software block mapp Tweet allows a machine application to send text messages and emails trig-gered by specific events. Set up with just a few clicks, mapp Tweet can easily be connected to other mapp components. This enables the mapp AlarmX component, for example, to automatically notify a maintenance technician when an alarm requires immediate action. mapp Tweet can supplement the message with addi-tional information, such as troubleshooting instructions that allow the technician to quickly and efficiently resolve the cause of the alarm. This is an effective way to achieve a targeted reduction in machine down-time.
Fast maintenance response times
If the service technician isn't on site, they can quickly connect via B&R's remote maintenance solution in order to run diagnostics, adjust parameters and resolve the error – all in a matter of moments. The solution utilizes the latest IT and security standards and allows for significant savings with low investment costs.
B&R continues to expand its mapp Technology software framework. Functions are now available for sending automatic notifications that enable advanced maintenance concepts.
