PRODUCTS
RuleSentry™ Configurable Decision Support – RuleSentry™ allows users to build system rules to automate tasks and evaluate data, increasing situational awareness and accelerating critical decision making. These rules can help control sensors and devices, evaluate databases, and monitor object positions and physical perimeters. Building from simple rule-action blocks, the RuleSentry™ framework allows the user to define highly complex system automation and behaviors. By integrating data across multiple devices, customer-defined RuleSentry™ rule sets provide the intelligence to differentiate nuisance data from meaningful alerts. Users can also automate repeatable tasks, trigger contingency plans, or save energy by managing device power.
