GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL MODERNIZES FACILITY
After acquiring a new facility, this global animal health facility needed to upgrade and migrate the existing alarm notification systems to their new shop floor network. “Existing WIN-911 systems were also on legacy versions of the software and were not true redundant systems. Consolidation allowed the two systems to become one true redundant system.”
In the process Huffman Engineering (HEI) was able to eliminate the analog phone line call out system, eliminated single points of failure, increased alarm throughput by 4×, and reduce operational risk across the plant. This project came to HEI because of prior work with the client at other locations and a trusted reputation for high-quality work,
responsiveness, communication and integrity.
CONNECTIVITY & RESPONSE TIME
4X THE CALL CAPACITY
INTENDED TO HIGHLIGHT IMPROVED ABILITY TO NOTIFY OPERATORS QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY.
| Metric | Before Upgrade (Legacy Silverlight Systems) | After Upgrade (WIN-911 2024 R2 SP2) | Huffman Engineering Impact |
| Notification Methods | Voice Only (2 analog phone lines) | Voice (up to 8 concurrent calls), Email and Text (SMS) | Expanded and Faster |
| Concurrent Call Capacity | 2 simultaneous calls | 8 simultaneous calls | 4x Capacity |
| Remote Access/Flexibility | Limited to fixed analog lines | Mobile support enables faster remote responses | Enhanced Mobility |
| Mean time to Acknowledge | Slower (limited contact options) | Faster (multiple, instant notification paths) | Reduced outage duration |
