In today’s fast-paced world, staying informed and prepared is crucial, especially when it comes to unexpected changes in environmental parameters such as water levels, wind speed or wave height. Being notified in real-time about significant changes in these can make all the difference to an operation whether it’s on the water or nearby.
OceanWise have introduced a new text alert service integrated into their flagship environmental data platform, Port-Log. This service has been designed to keep customers ahead of rising waters and changing environmental conditions through providing early warning for when operations may be impacted, and evasive action might need to be taken. Text alerts can not only inform you when a threshold has been exceeded but also provide pre-warning alerts when a threshold breach is imminent, continued monitoring alerts throughout a breach event, as well as ‘standdown’ alerts once levels drop and return to normal.
What is our Text Alert Service?
Our text alert service provides timely notifications directly to your chosen mobile device/s when predetermined thresholds are exceeded. Working in conjunction with the advanced equipment and reliable environmental monitoring systems already deployed as part of an OceanWise Port-Log system to track water levels, this ensures you receive direct alerts when thresholds are surpassed. This service aims to empower the user with crucial information to take proactive measures and safeguard assets and operations against potential environmental risks.
What are the Key Benefits of the Service?
- Real-Time Alerts – Receive immediate notifications via text message when a parameter such as water levels, wind speed or wave height reaches critical thresholds, allowing you to act swiftly. This includes pre-warning alerts and post-event standdown notifications.
- Customisable Settings – Tailor the alerts to your specific needs, setting thresholds, schedule alerts, customising repeat intervals and other preferences based on your operation.
- Peace of Mind – Stay informed at any time of the day or day of the week and gain peace of mind knowing you’ll be alerted to potential flooding, high wind events or other environment-related issues.
- Reliable Monitoring – Benefit from our state-of-the-art environmental monitoring systems, ensuring accuracy and reliability in detecting environmental changes and data management.
- Easy Accessibility – Port-Log is known for its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with existing and new sensors. This has been extended to seamless integration with your mobile device/s for hassle-free management of alerts.
