Asset lifecycle management notifications

Purpose

1. Automate real-time notifications and escalation workflows throughout the lifecycle of metro train assets (purchase, commissioning, inspections, maintenance, decommissioning).

2. Automatedly keep all stakeholders informed of key events such as overdue service, safety recalls, or regulatory compliance deadlines.

3. Automate reminders for asset warranty expirations and contract renewals, facilitating proactive lifecycle management.

4. Automate corrective action triggers when sensors or manual inspections report faults, reducing downtime.

5. Ensure automated dissemination of scheduled maintenance, certifications, end-of-life warnings, or transfer events across teams and vendors.

Trigger Conditions

1. Asset acquisition completes in ERP or procurement platform (API or webhook).

2. Upcoming scheduled maintenance date detected in EAM/CMMS.

3. Fault diagnosed by IoT sensor or SCADA system, automates incident workflow.

4. Warranty or compliance document expiry date reached, automates alert.

5. Asset decommission/transfer logged in central asset register or finance system.
