Workflow Trigger

Equipment performance threshold alert or scheduled condition assessment triggers maintenance evaluation

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

    Receive equipment condition alert

    SCADA system detects equipment performance deviation or scheduled assessment interval is reached. Real-time monitoring data indicates potential maintenance need.
