Equipment status monitoring and alerts

This workflow continuously monitors equipment health across all laundromat locations and automatically triggers maintenance alerts when issues are detected. It minimizes downtime by enabling proactive maintenance scheduling and immediate response to equipment failures.

Workflow Trigger

Equipment sensor detects anomaly or maintenance threshold is reached

Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Equipment anomaly detected

    IoT sensors on washers and dryers detect performance issues, error codes, or maintenance thresholds being reached. Real-time data is collected from equipment monitoring systems across all locations.
