Know within minutes that the air conditioning stopped, not the next morning.

This is an illustrative scenario with a hypothetical plant, not an Uptrol customer. The figures are estimates from the assumptions listed below, not achieved results.

Industry: Plant office, small server room
Assumed size: 2 racks, 2 air conditioners, 1 UPS, no night staff
Scope: Uptrol Phòng máy
Estimated rollout time: 1–2 weeks

Assumptions

Racks	2
Measuring points (climate, leak, UPS)	6
Read interval	1 min
Window for temperature rate of rise	10–15 min

Calculation

6 = 6
Read every 1 min, rate of rise over 10–15 min = 10–15 min
Alerts after hours and on holidays too = 24 hours

Real response time depends on who receives the alert; have at least two recipients and an after-hours procedure.

Context

The hypothetical room runs the plant’s ERP and cameras. Domestic air conditioners do not restart after a power cut; the UPS battery has never been checked.

Nobody watches the room outside office hours.

What Uptrol deploys

Temperature and humidity sensors at the rack fronts and near the air conditioners
A water-leak cable under the indoor units
UPS status over SNMP: input, battery, load
Threshold and rate-of-rise alerts sent to 2 people

Architecture

01Modbus sensors and the UPS SNMP card
02A small gateway in the room
03Uptrol platform: thresholds, trends, alerts
04Telegram, Zalo, email for the people in charge

Steps

01Survey the roomRack, air conditioner and UPS positions, management network.
02InstallDone in half a day without stopping systems.
03Set thresholdsBased on equipment inlet temperature guidance and actual conditions.
04Test alertsSimulate a power cut and an air-conditioner stop to check recipients.
