ISI SOLUTIONS01 / UNDERSTAND
Understand the context.
We start with a concrete problem: bypassed guards, recurring alerts or conditions requiring inspection. We examine the process and available signals with the people responsible for the plant.
SAFETY → PROTECTION
Make hidden risks
visible.
An alarm flags an event. Acting on it requires understanding what happened, on which machine and in what context. ISI connects signals, software and people to turn the alert into an operational response.

From an alert
to ISI’s intervention.
Safety work can address one machine, a production area or the plant, depending on the problem and the information available:
- Events and bypassed safeguards. Monitor machine signals and recurring events to identify conditions requiring investigation.
- Visual monitoring. Compare the observed physical condition of guards, machines and areas with the expected condition, where applicable and within the project scope.
- Maintenance and machine records. Organise requests, scheduled work, intervention reports and machine history.
- Training and skills. Connect learning, assessment and on-the-job coaching to the task and the needs identified.
02 / CONNECT
Make events understandable.
We configure data collection and software to move from the machine overview to individual signals. The project defines context, alert rules and recipients.
03 / ACT
Choose the response.
We connect alerts to an appropriate response: technical inspection, maintenance, training or a process change. ISI coordinates tools and activities; the responsible people assess and carry out the actions.
AN EXAMPLE FROM THE FIELD
A bypass.
The response goes beyond an alarm.
The problem encountered
In a production environment, some guards were being bypassed to work faster. The alert alone did not explain causes or recurrence.
ISI’s intervention
Machine events were related to the machine, operator, product, cycle and stage. A workflow brings the alert to responsible staff, who distinguish maintenance, behaviour, process and training needs.
How the work continues
Where training is needed, the process includes on-panel content, a questionnaire, learning assessment and records. If digital training is insufficient, on-the-job coaching follows.
What changes
The alert becomes part of an intervention process: context helps select the response instead of treating every event in the same way.

Hardware and software.
A clear role for each.
HARDWARE / IDEA®
Collect signals from the field.
IDEA® is the industrial device developed in partnership by ISI Solutions and Euro Automation. It acquires and processes machine data, connecting it to software through project-defined interfaces including Ethernet, electrical signals and RS485 / Modbus RTU.
It is not required in every plant: where appropriate we integrate PLCs or existing systems directly. IDEA® does not replace safeguards or imply a certified safety function.

SOFTWARE / OVERVIEW AND ALERTS
From the machine to each signal.
The overview brings machine states together. The Machine 02 detail shows electrical signals, alerts and PLC alarm status: a starting point for deciding what to inspect, beyond an indicator’s colour.
Depending on the problem, the process may include workflows for responsible staff, maintenance history, instructions and training. These activities are defined in the project; the screenshot alone does not demonstrate the entire process.
Training and skills
Enlarge image ↗What changes
for the people managing the plant.
A shared understanding.
Machine, signal and context help production and maintenance start from the same information.
A targeted response.
Inspection can point to a technical cause, a training need or a process issue.
Follow-through on the issue.
Interventions and training can be documented to reconstruct what was done and assess next steps.
Scope depends on available signals and the process. Analysis supports risk management: it does not certify overall machine safety or guarantee the elimination of accidents.
THE NEXT STEP
Start with your plant
and a concrete problem.
We can start with one machine, a production area or the plant. Tell us what happens, which alerts you receive and which systems you use. The initial discussion identifies available signals, the people involved and the objective, defining the technical and operational scope.
