Key Features

Key Features & Benefits

Native FactoryTalk Integration

Direct connection to the FactoryTalk Alarm and Event engine. No middleware required. Monitor system events in real time and route notifications through configurable workflows.

Proactive Alert Delivery

Instant notification when critical alarms occur. Reduce response time and prevent small issues from escalating into costly downtime events.

Multi-Device Notification

Reach operators, technicians, and engineers on any device including mobile phones, two-way radios, email, and pagers.

Escalation & Acknowledgment

Automatic escalation if alarms go unacknowledged. Operators can acknowledge alarms remotely via SMS, email, or MOTOTRBO radio.

Complete Audit Trail

Comprehensive logging of all alarm events, acknowledgments, and response times. Full traceability for compliance and continuous improvement.

OPC Server Support

Flexible connectivity through OPC DA/UA for legacy systems, third-party devices, and distributed architectures.

Simple Configuration Process

Get up and running quickly with minimal disruption

Install SeQent Software

Deploy SeQent with integration to FactoryTalk View SE or your OPC server.

Link Alert Conditions

Map alarm notifications to individual users, teams, or talkgroups based on your operational structure and escalation requirements.

Configure Notification Devices

Set up delivery to mobile devices, MOTOTRBO radios, email, pagers, or any combination that fits your facility's communication needs.
