As part of our governance of data series, this article explains what exception alerting is and how you can use Carbon Desktop to monitor your data.

What exception alerting is:

Exception alerting automatically monitors data and then proactively notifies users of unusual or anomalous trends or issues, allowing for immediate action to prevent costly disruptions or inefficiencies.

The benefits:

Access to real-time data, combined with exception alerting, can:

  • Maintain business continuity by monitoring plant performance and alerting to deviation ultimately if acted upon, leading to loss avoidance.
  • Identify key financial outliers at a group level from all incomers against deviation from typical consumption levels.
  • Infer routine events and detect moments when this routine is disrupted.

Carbon Desktop has an in-built exception alerting tool

Identifying and solving an issue becomes much easier when you know it exists. That’s where Carbon Desktop’s built-in exception alerting tool comes in, providing automated, real-time alerts based on your site’s data. Whether it’s monitoring your entire electricity supply or something as specific as a single light bulb, users can set targets to detect and address deviations in energy usage as they happen.

In our next article we will cover real world exception alerting Case Studies using real-time utility data and automated alerts to avoid unnecessary operational costs, capital expenditures, and potential disruptions.
