Alarm for industrial buildings with 24/7 phone alerts
Aviot is the technical IoT alarm for industrial buildings that watches temperature, humidity, power outages, machinery, flooding and intrusion, and calls the on-call mobile before a fault becomes a loss.
An industrial building down costs money every hour: spoiled product, halted lines, racks at risk and maintenance overtime. The problem is rarely the fault itself, but how long it takes someone to find out. Traditional alarms for industrial buildings catch intrusion but ignore power outages, overheating or a critical machine stopping in the middle of the night.
Aviot fills that gap. It wires into the electrical panel and the building probes, compares every reading against the thresholds you set, and if anything drifts it calls you until someone confirms. No open app, no staring at screens: the alert finds you.
What it monitors
What Aviot watches in an industrial building
One board for everything critical in the building. Each variable with its threshold and alert priority: the urgent calls, the important notifies, the informational is logged.
Temperature & humidity
Industrial probes per room: plant rooms, climate-controlled warehouses, server racks and process areas. Alerts if a room drifts out of its configured range.
Power outage & panel
Direct reading of panel contacts: main outage, differential trip, phase loss and generator start. The cause, not just the effect.
Machinery & process
Analog and digital inputs for flow, pressure, level and the status of critical equipment (compressors, pumps, lines). Detects unplanned stops.
Intrusion & access
Integrate door contacts, presence sensors or your intrusion panel signal to get the alert through the same channel as the rest of the building.
Flood & leaks
Flood sensors in plant rooms, basements and pumping areas. A leak caught early avoids shutting down the whole building.
Air & gases
CO₂, CO or ambient pressure when the process requires it, with per-room thresholds and configurable alert priority.
Why it matters
The cost is not the fault, it is the reaction time
In an industrial building the damage piles up minute by minute. A power outage no one notices overnight thaws a cold room, leaves a data centre without cooling or stops a production line that has to be cold-restarted first thing. By the time the first operator arrives at 7:00, the incident is already a quantified loss.
A well-sized alarm for an industrial building does not prevent the fault — that is maintenance's job — but it cuts reaction time from hours to minutes. That difference separates "incident with no consequences" from "lost batch and an insurance claim".
That is why Aviot prioritises the voice call over email or push: at 3 a.m., the only thing that wakes someone up is a ringing phone. See the full process in how Aviot works.
How the 24/7 alert works
- Detect. Probes and panel contacts are read every few seconds.
- Decide priority. Critical calls; alert notifies; info is logged.
- Call until answered. The voice repeats and escalates to the next role if no one picks up.
- Log everything. Exportable history of every incident and confirmation.
Use cases
Alarms for industrial buildings: real examples
Where a technical alarm for an industrial building makes the difference. See more real Aviot customer cases.
Logistics warehouse
A nighttime power outage leaves the picking cold room without refrigeration and the automated docks without power. Aviot calls the shift lead before the UPS runs out.
Server room / data centre
The plant-room AC fails on a Sunday. Temperature climbs and the rack is minutes from a thermal shutdown. Aviot alerts with time to act.
Production building
A process pump stops and the line halts overnight. Aviot detects the contact state change and calls the on-call maintenance lead.
Workshop & stock room
After-hours intrusion or a water leak in the storeroom. Aviot notifies by call, SMS and app, and logs who handled the incident.
FAQ
Alarm for industrial buildings: common questions
What is an alarm for an industrial building and how is it different from an intrusion alarm?
An alarm for an industrial building watches technical variables (temperature, humidity, power outage, machinery, flooding) on top of intrusion, and alerts via automatic 24/7 phone calls. A conventional intrusion alarm only detects presence or door openings. Aviot brings both worlds into a single unit wired into the electrical panel and the building probes.
How does the industrial building alarm alert if the power goes out?
Aviot has 4G IoT connectivity with its own SIM and an internal lithium battery, so it keeps working and alerting even if the mains power and the office router go down. A power outage is precisely one of the events it detects and notifies immediately.
Who does the alarm call when it detects a fault in the building?
You define a contact list with priority order and roles. On a critical incident, Aviot calls the first on-call person; if they do not answer within seconds, it escalates automatically to the next. The voice states what failed and where, and the person presses 1 to confirm they are on it.
Can a technical alarm be installed in an industrial building already in operation?
Yes. A qualified technician installs it by wiring the Aviot board into the electrical panel and the probes, without stopping operations. A medium building is up and running in 3-4 hours, and thresholds and contacts can be adjusted remotely whenever you need.
