Publishing and notifications

Our key software solutions WISKI, WISKI Web, datasphere and HydroMaster use location and parameters specific thresholds to detect events such as missing data, flow exceeding a warning level, or an exceedingly high rate of change. More complex multi-site or areal event detection using any combination of static, dynamic, or conditional thresholds can be handled by our Data Validation extension.

These detections can be applied to historical data, real-time observations, or forecasted data and can be recorded as flags in the data or cause the triggering of a notification.

Our cloud solutions KISTERS datasphere and HydroMaster allow unlimited recipients to receive emails or SMS messages, which can be grouped as needed to receive specific notifications.

Our Alarm Manager also works seamlessly with other key data management systems WISKI and WISKI Web and provides comprehensive recipient definition and grouping. Detailed work schedules (hours, days, planned absences) can also be assigned to each recipient to smartly direct notifications to those who should and can receive it.

All our tools create notifications automatically.

datasphere and HydroMaster are robust solutions that primarily serve data monitoring and alarming needs by allowing users to predefine notification templates to generate warning messages.

Other solutions include Alarm Manager or WISKI Web where notifications can be customised to create comprehensive reports, bulletins, and messages to fit a variety of information sharing needs. Once in operation, the specified data and text will automatically be inserted into the provided templates to create appealing and to-the-point notifications.

Even more targeted notifications can be created automatically using our internal WISKI / WISKI WEB APIs and Python scripting.

Our WISKI, WISKI Web, datasphere and HydroMaster offerings all support Email and SMS as data distribution channels. HydroMaster can also notify via Twitter.

The Alarm Manager is our most flexible notification tool and allows a variety of conditions to be set to flexibly disseminate notifications to the correct recipients using the chosen channels and in accordance to editable work schedules. Our internal WISKI / WISKI WEB APIs and Python scripting can be employed to custom code even more comprehensive notification distribution.

Being aware who received disseminated notifications, such as bulletins or alarms, is crucial to ensure that the right recipients are notified at the right time.

Our Alarm Manager employs a dedicated acknowledgement scheme that provides the recipients with flexible options to confirm that they received a notification. If no acknowledgement, notifications are resent either to the same recipient, or to alternative recipients until an acknowledgement is received.
