AVIOT · Technical Alarm

Read full description

AVIOT is the cloud technical alarm for any site: farms, main switchboards, pump houses, cold rooms, industrial buildings or hatchery rooms. It watches whatever you wire in and alerts you —with a voice call— the moment something fails. THE WHOLE SITE AT A GLANCE Every house, room or panel on one screen. You know instantly what is OK, what is in alarm and which unit has stopped reporting. A CALL THAT SAYS WHAT FAILED AND WHERE Call chain of up to 7 phones with call attempts per contact. The voice message names the exact element (the pump, the valve, the breaker, the module) and whoever answers presses 1 to acknowledge. App notifications too. THE FULL ELECTRICAL PANEL Chainable 16-input dry-contact modules over Modbus, up to 96 signals per panel, each with its own name. A live mimic of the panel as the home screen, highlighting what just changed. Phases, generator, UPS, battery and mains loss monitored as standard. ARM AND DISARM WITH ONE SWITCH For sites with no production cycles, monitoring is armed and disarmed at once from the app. For farms, starting a batch re-enables any alerts left off, and the app warns you if any are still disabled. LIVE SENSORS Temperature, humidity, CO2 and NH3 per room, with setpoint and margins. Growth curves for broilers, turkeys and pigs; setpoint and tolerance for setters and hatchers. HISTORY AND TRENDS Charts with highs, lows and setpoint. Battery, phase and power-cut history one tap away. Every alarm logs exact time, who handled it and how many calls were made. CONNECTIVITY WITHOUT SURPRISES Mobile data or the site WiFi, configurable from the app itself. The header shows connected network, coverage, battery and bus status, so you know the unit is alive before you trust it. IN THE CLOUD, FROM ANYWHERE No servers or software to install. Several sites, several users and roles (owner, manager, installer) on one account. Map with all your sites. BUILT FOR FIELD WORK Fingerprint or Face ID sign-in. Interface in Spanish and Catalan. Fast and clear, even with poor coverage. AVIOT · Always Safe. Your site, always under control.
