Warning and technological innovation: the Sentry software

CAE has just completed the development of a new application that allows you to define alarm thresholds, even on multiple parameters and with complex algorithms, as well as to spread alarm messages through several communication media. This software is equipped with a log system that allows you to track its own functioning and the events, as well as to forward the alarm notification and much more. We interviewed the Technical Director of CAE, Lorenzo Giandomenico, to ask him for some preview information on this new CAE warning software: Sentry.

What does Sentry do and why can we call it an innovative product?

Sentry is CAE new software for the spreading of warning messages. It is a web-based software that can be used “on-the-go” through the most common browsers, according to the needs of the market which requires greater and greater speed and flexibility.

We can define it as an innovative product also thanks to its modular structure that allows us to easily add all kinds of means of communication for alert spreading, including the increasingly used messaging applications, depending on the customer's needs.

Furthermore, like all CAE innovations, it cannot fail to pursue maximum interoperability. 

What is the maximum interoperability for this software?

It consists of several aspects, as Sentry is a cross-platform software, which therefore works on different operating systems; moreover, it is database independent thanks to the ORM technology, but above all it interfaces with standard systems through the CAP Protocol (Common Alerting Protocol).

This protocol is a standard that the whole world uses for alert spreading and it allows Sentry to be powered, that is, to be able to issue alerts arriving from non-CAE systems that communicate through the aforementioned standard CAP protocol. Sentry is therefore a very flexible product and can be used extremely easily even in non-CAE networks.
