Example of GSM integration |

There are many many uses for the concept of equipment or machinery being able to automatically create incidents directly onto a web-based Service Desk. This is a key capability of 1SD. Furthermore, the system allows a "return path" so that you can not only receive a message from the machine, you can use 1SD to send an instruction back to the machine.
See the example below:
ONE: A water tank on an unattended farm reaches close to maximum capacity, and must not be allowed to reach maximum. In this case, a solar powered GSM device connected to a ball valve in the tank will send a text message to the 1SD server. This message is processed, and entered into 1SD as an incident. This, in turn will initiate the necessary alerts, and the matter can be attended to.

TWO: The farm manager may decide that the emergency release valve at the bottom of the tank needs to be opened for a minute. Uisng 1SD, he is able to initiate a message which is sent back to the GSM device on the tank, which opens an electronically opened valve for 1 minute. Thus the issue is remotely resolved.
