Generating Work Orders based on events

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a system automatically generate work orders when certain events occur. An example: whenever a high level in a container is reached we ‘generate’ a work order to check whether the evacuation pump is not blocked.
Sometimes it’s only necessary to collect all checks in a list – when no urgency exists. In other cases we might need creating an urgent work order to repair or check something.

URGENT WORK
Whenever an event occurs that is marked as being urgent, the SYSTEM will immediately generate a work order.

CHECKLISTS - Less urgent work
Whenever something unexpected happens, we will not always rush to it. Sometimes it is more logical to group these events and run them trough during a check round.

  1. Something added: we should also be able to use PLC counters to trigger maintenance actions. Whenever a predefined quantity is produced, we trigger an event that launches a work order.
    (I never believed in running around and noting counter states).
