Application examples for rule chains

1. Alarm when limits are exceeded For example, monitor the temperature of a room or a machine. As soon as a defined threshold is exceeded, an alarm is automatically triggered and an email is sent to the responsible technician.

2. Automatic control of devices For example, control the air conditioning in a room depending on the outside temperature or occupancy. When certain sensor values are reached, the system is automatically switched on or off.

3. Process optimization Use rule chains to optimize maintenance processes. When a device reaches a certain number of operating hours, a maintenance ticket is automatically created and assigned to a technician.
