Full-Lifecycle Alarm Management Software
SeQent is industrial alarm notification software and a complete alarm management system. It delivers critical alarms from SCADA, PLC, and MES systems to the right people on any device, with automatic escalation and full audit trails.
Complete Alarm Lifecycle Management
From initiation through resolution - every alarm is routed, acknowledged, escalated, and resolved in a controlled, trackable workflow.
Real-Time Delivery
Automatic Escalation
Two-Way Acknowledgment
How Does SeQent Manage the Full Alarm Lifecycle?
SeQent ensures critical alerts are routed, acknowledged, escalated, and resolved in a controlled, trackable workflow that drives faster and more reliable response.
Configure alarm routing based on severity, source, time of day, shift schedule, and responder role. SeQent automatically determines who should receive each alarm and how it should be delivered.
- Priority-based routing with severity classification
- Schedule-aware delivery based on shift assignments
- Role-based targeting for maintenance, ops, and safety teams
- Multi-channel delivery per alarm rule
How Does SeQent Handle SCADA Alarm Management?
Your SCADA system detects the alarm. SeQent makes sure someone acts on it. As SCADA alarm notification software, SeQent reads alarm and event data from AVEVA System Platform and InTouch, Velotic iFIX and CIMPLICITY, Rockwell FactoryTalk View SE, and any OPC-compliant server through Alarm & Event Ingestion. Each alarm is then routed by severity, area, and shift, escalated if no one acknowledges, and logged from initiation through resolution.
That closes the gap most SCADA alarm management programs struggle with: the HMI shows the alarm, but only to whoever is standing in front of it. SeQent extends it to radios, phones, andon displays, and PA systems across the plant, without replacing your SCADA or HMI. For the standards side of alarm management, see our plain-English guide to ISA-18.2.

Common Questions About Alarm Management
An alarm management system controls what happens to an alarm after your control system raises it: who is notified, on which device, what happens if nobody responds, and how the event is recorded. SeQent’s alarm management system covers that full lifecycle, from initiation through acknowledgment, escalation, and resolution, with a complete audit trail.
Alarm notification delivers the message. Alarm management governs the whole lifecycle around it, including routing rules, escalation, acknowledgment, throttling, scheduling, and reporting. SeQent does both: it is alarm notification software at its core, with the management layer that makes notification dependable across shifts and sites.
No. SeQent works alongside your existing SCADA and HMI. It reads alarms from AVEVA, Velotic, Rockwell Automation, and any OPC-compliant system, then handles delivery, escalation, and logging. Your control system keeps detecting alarms exactly as it does today.
SeQent delivers alarms in under two seconds from event detection to device, with automatic escalation if the primary responder does not acknowledge within a configurable timeframe. Alerts route to two-way radios (Motorola MOTOTRBO and WAVE PTX), smartphones via SMS or the Wi-Fi Messenger app, Andon displays, overhead PA systems, and SIP desk phones. Every notification is logged with the recipient, device, and acknowledgment time.
ISA-18.2 sets out how alarm systems should be designed, operated, and continuously improved. SeQent supports the operational side of that work: delivering prioritized alarms to the right responder, escalating when nobody acknowledges, throttling nuisance repeats, and logging every event so alarm performance can be reviewed. Alarm philosophy and rationalization remain part of your own alarm management program. Learn more in our guide to ISA-18.2.
Yes. Distribution lists, role-based access control, and bulk import and export are built for multi-site deployments, and the same routing and escalation rules can be standardized across every plant, even when sites run different control systems.
