Improve Alarm Response with Ignition and SQUEAKS
By integrating IGear’s SQUEAKS Platform with Ignition, manufacturers can automate alarm notifications, streamline workflows, and enable real-time collaboration—resulting in faster, more reliable responses to critical events.
Why Ignition Is a Strong Foundation for Alarm Management
Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform is a trusted solution in industrial automation, offering powerful tools for real-time monitoring, alarm configuration, and system integration. Its modular design and scalable architecture make it ideal for manufacturers seeking flexibility and control.
Turning Alarms into Action with Ignition + SQUEAKS
In modern manufacturing environments, managing alarms efficiently is critical to maintaining safety, productivity, and operational continuity. Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform is widely used for industrial automation, offering robust alarm capabilities. However, without a structured workflow and collaboration system, alarms can be missed, delayed, or improperly resolved.
This is where SQUEAKS comes in—a self-service, off-the-shelf software platform designed to enhance critical event management by automating notifications, workflows, and escalations for Ignition alarms. Workflows and escalations are easy to configure using a no-code format.
SQUEAKS is a mobile-first platform that enables manufacturers to manage alarms and events with greater visibility and control. It integrates directly with Ignition to deliver real-time alerts and facilitate team collaboration through mobile apps and Microsoft Teams.
Core Capabilities of SQUEAKS + Ignition Integration
-
Automated Notifications
SQUEAKS connects with Ignition to automatically send push notifications when alarms or events are triggered. These alerts are delivered via the SQUEAKS mobile app, available on iOS and Android and in Microsoft Teams, ensuring that operators and technicians are informed instantly.
2. Interactive Mobile Experience
Users can interact with alarms directly from their mobile devices, enabling
real time collaboration and faster decision-making on the shop floor.
The app supports:
• Workflow actions
• Comments
• Image and video attachments
3. Custom Workflows
SQUEAKS allows users to create custom workflows to define states and actions
each alarm must pass through before being closed. This structured approach
ensures that alarms are handled consistently and thoroughly, providing team
members with step-by-step guidance.
4. Escalation Rules
If an alarm remains in a workflow state or unresolved beyond a defined time
threshold, SQUEAKS’ Escalation Rules automatically alert additional users or
teams—ensuring that no alarm goes unnoticed and that resolution efforts
stay on track.
5. Dynamic Alarm Updates
Alarms in SQUEAKS are dynamically updated based on user-configured rules and
changes to the alarm's status within Ignition. This keeps all stakeholders
informed of the latest developments.
6. Data-Driven Insights
Every interaction with an alarm—whether automated or manual—is logged.
This creates a valuable dataset that helps manufacturers:
• Identify alarm sources and response times
• Analyze team performance
• Balance labor resources
• Improve overall operational efficiency
7. Microsoft Teams Integration
SQUEAKS extends visibility to Microsoft Teams, delivering Ignition alarms to
chats and channels using Adaptive Cards. Users can access full SQUEAKS
features—including workflows, escalation rules, comments, and attachments—
within Microsoft Teams.
Benefits of Using SQUEAKS with Ignition
-
Improved response times to critical events
-
Enhanced team collaboration across devices and platforms
-
Reduced downtime through structured workflows and escalations
-
Actionable insights from alarm data analytics
-
Monitor and interact with Ignition Events in Microsoft Teams
SQUEAKS + Ignition for Operational Excellence
By integrating SQUEAKS with Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform, manufacturers can take a proactive, data-driven approach to alarm management. With automated notifications, intelligent workflows, and real-time collaboration, SQUEAKS empowers teams to respond faster, work smarter, and continuously improve their operations.
