Intelligent Alert Routing & Escalation

Rules-based delivery of alerts to the right people, based on role, severity, shift, and context - with automatic alarm escalation that ensures no critical alarm goes unaddressed, regardless of time of day or staff availability.

Escalation & Routing

Notify the Right Person Automatically

SeQent's alarm escalation software ensures the right person is notified at the right time with automated escalation that reduces delays and missed alerts - replacing manual phone trees with intelligent, configurable workflows.

Rules-Based Routing

Configure alarm delivery based on severity, source, area, time of day, and responder role. Every alarm reaches the right person through the right channel automatically.

Multi-Level Escalation

Define unlimited escalation tiers with configurable timeouts. Unacknowledged alarms automatically route to backup personnel until someone responds.

On-Call Logic & Scheduling

Schedule-aware delivery routes alerts based on shift assignments, on-call rotations, and team availability - so after-hours alarms reach available staff, not voicemail.

How It Works

How Does SeQent Route and Escalate Alarms?

From the moment an alarm is triggered, SeQent evaluates configurable rules to determine who should be notified, how, and what happens if they don't respond.

Context-Aware Alert Routing

SeQent’s alarm routing software evaluates each alarm against configurable rules based on severity, source system, area, time of day, and shift schedule to determine the optimal delivery path, recipient, and channel.

Priority-based routing with severity classification
Source-system-aware rules for different alarm types
Area and zone-based targeting for multi-site operations
Time-of-day and shift-aware logic for 24/7 facilities
Multi-channel delivery per routing rule

Automated Multi-Level Escalation

Define an alarm escalation system that automatically routes unacknowledged alarms to the next tier of responders. Configurable timeouts at each level ensure every critical alarm reaches someone who can act.

Unlimited escalation tiers with configurable timeout intervals
Automatic re-routing when primary responders don’t acknowledge
Different escalation paths per alarm type or severity
Cross-site escalation for enterprise operations
Final-tier notifications to management and plant leadership

Schedule-Aware On-Call Management

Align on-call alarm notification with shift schedules and rotations automatically. Distribution lists and scheduling ensure alerts reach the correct personnel for any time of day, any day of the week.

Shift-based routing with automatic schedule rotation
Distribution lists for team-based notifications
On-call calendar management with override capability
Time zone configuration for multi-site operations
Holiday and exception scheduling

Alarm Throttling & Noise Reduction

Prevent alarm fatigue with configurable throttling that controls how frequently notifications are sent for recurring conditions. Priority management ensures critical alarms always cut through the noise.

Configurable repeat counts for persistent alarm conditions
Message delay settings to prevent alarm flooding
Priority queueing so critical alarms are never buried
Suppression rules for known maintenance windows
Aggregate notifications for related alarm clusters

Use Cases

What Problems Does Intelligent Routing Solve? (Critical Event Management)

Slow Escalation & Resolution

Replace manual phone trees with automated, configurable escalation that routes in seconds, not minutes

Alerts Reaching the Wrong People

Schedule-aware and role-based routing ensures only qualified, available responders are notified

Excessive After-Hours Call-Ins

Intelligent routing targets the right on-call personnel, reducing unnecessary call-ins and team burnout

Alarm Fatigue & Noise

Throttling and priority management prevent notification flooding while ensuring critical alarms always get through

Manual Coordination

Replace manual coordination with automated response workflows that align teams across shifts and sites

Inconsistent Cross-Site Response

Standardize escalation procedures and routing logic across all facilities for consistent response quality
