Critical Event Management

When critical events occur on the factory floor that affect profitability, customer relationships, and the safety of employees, how do you stay informed?

 

 

​
 

Currently, you may rely on HMI systems and two-way radios to communicate

about such events. 2-way radios have limitations: they are voice-only, open-loop, and prone to delays, resulting in significant time lapses. SQUEAKS enables you to stay informed more promptly.

Stay ahead with SQUEAKS. Our system provides immediate, automated
notifications 
and maintains a detailed digital record of every action taken,
from initial 
acknowledgment to final completion ensuring nothing slips through
the cracks.
