Warum Reliable alerting in the event of a malfunction with the ACC?

Unrecognized malfunctions or deviations from standard values in automated processes quickly lead to downtime, production losses, or dangers to people or infrastructure - in some cases with high follow-up costs. Alarm Control Center Software (ACC) forwards messages from control stations or PLC-systems quickly, reliably, and specifically via various communication channels to the responsible persons on the end device of your choice.
