Integration of Technologies for Improved Equipment Monitoring
In a bid to enhance equipment monitoring operations, WideTech, a Tokyo-based company specializing in IT solutions, has partnered with Valqua, recognized for its pioneering work in industrial sealing products. Their collaboration focuses on integrating WideTech's automated phone notification service, "CueCall," with Valqua's sophisticated equipment inspection platform, "MONiPLAT." This partnership marks a significant step in ensuring prompt responses to equipment anomalies, particularly during nighttime and weekends when manual oversight is often lacking.
Addressing Notification Oversights
The idea behind this integration stems from a pressing concern in equipment inspection: alerts sent by email may not reach responsible personnel immediately, especially during off-hours. Instances of equipment anomalies, such as water leaks or temperature fluctuations, could go unnoticed until the next business day, potentially leading to severe operational problems. The CueCall service aims to eliminate these oversights by turning email alerts into automatic phone calls, ensuring that critical notifications do not fall through the cracks during crucial times.
How the Integration Functions
Through this new cooperation, when MONiPLAT detects an issue and sends out an email alert, CueCall ensures an automatic telephone call is placed to the designated team members. This process is straightforward and requires no modifications to existing systems; it capitalizes only on the email sending capability already present in MONiPLAT.
Key Features of CueCall
- - Automatic Calling and Flexible Settings: The system leverages the content of the email alerts to generate automatic voice calls, which can be customized for either sequential or group dialing. If a recipient is unavailable or does not answer, the system automatically retries, ensuring the alert reaches someone.
- - Push-Button Feedback: Recipients can confirm their ability to respond to the issue by pressing a button on their phone, providing immediate feedback on whether they can tackle the situation or if it should be escalated.
- - Automated Result Reporting: Call outcomes and response history are managed over a web interface, allowing organizations to keep track of their responses and notify team members through email or SMS without any extra hassle.
Pricing and Availability
For organizations utilizing MONiPLAT’s ZeroVisit or Time-Based Maintenance (TBM) features, the CueCall service is available at special pricing as an add-on option. For businesses to take advantage of this advanced alert system, a direct contract and onboarding process with WideTech are necessary. It is worth noting that charges for calls and SMS are billed based on usage.

Conclusion
The integration of WideTech's CueCall with Valqua's MONiPLAT represents an innovative approach to industrial monitoring. By ensuring that crucial alerts are communicated effectively, even outside normal working hours, the partnership aims to bolster operational reliability and prevent equipment failures. In a world increasingly reliant on automation and smart technologies, this collaboration paves the way for more responsive, responsible, and efficient management of equipment maintenance.
