Geozone-related alerts

What different alerts can be configured in for the geozones you have created?

Geozone information can be leveraged to enable alerting on events relating to your business processes. The advantage of alerts is that a user gets notified immediately when certain events have occurred. By notifying users that certain important events or conditions have occurred, you can greatly reduce the time spent periodically consulting and investigating the asset locations information.

Alerts on individual asset geozone presence

The following alert types can be configured by monitoring the individual asset location relative to a specific geozone.

• Inside geozone alert: Generate an alert when an asset is inside the geozone. Useful when an asset should never appear in a specific location. For example, when there is a type of container which should not be used on a specific plant. See Creating 'Inside geozone' alerts.
• Outside geozone alert: Generate an alert when an asset is not in the geozone. Typically used to prevent assets from leaving a specific location. For example, theft prevention. See Creating 'Outside geozone' alerts.
• Too long inside or outside alert: Generate an alert when the asset remains inside or outside of a geozone for a longer duration than the threshold. This is useful for monitoring the flow of an asset through a business process. For example, when shipments are being processed by an external delivery agent, a service level agreement may specify that goods will never stay longer than 24 hours in a specific geozone. See Creating 'Too long inside geozone' alerts or Creating 'Too long outside geozone' alerts

Alerts on all assets in a geozone

The following alert types are can be generated by monitoring the aggregation of assets in a specific geozone

These stock alert types are implemented by monitoring the stock levels of assets every 30 minutes.You can configure the threshold, as well as specific which specific assets are counted (by selection, or by filtering on asset tags).

• The Asset stock too low alert will be raised when the amount of monitored assets in the geozone is below a minimum threshold. This is useful to ensure sufficient stock levels of assets to provide process continuity. See Creating 'Asset stock too low' alerts.
• The Asset stock too high alert will be raised when the amount of monitored assets in the geozone is above a threshold. This alert type can be used to avoid for congestion of assets. See Creating 'Asset stock too high' alerts.
