Module · Notifications

Notificationsthe right person knows, the second it matters.

Triggers are defined per recipe — OOS, hold, late, deviation, ship — and routed to the people who need them by SMS and email. Every send is audit-logged.

One event · the right people · no inbox storm

Notifications that route themselves.

Watch DEV-441 — a major deviation on Line B — travel through the routing tree. Severity, role, channel and quiet hours are decided in milliseconds.

The right person. The right channel. The right moment.

Operators don't read email at the line. Supervisors don't watch Slack at 3am. V5's notification engine routes by role, urgency, on-call schedule, language and quiet hours — and escalates if no one acks.

The escalation · severity HIGH

If nobody acks, V5 wakes the right person.

The tree knows who's on shift, who's on call, who's on PTO, and what time it is in their timezone. Quiet hours apply by default; critical-severity overrides them.

The anti-noise engine

The fastest way to be ignored is to notify too often.

V5 de-duplicates floods, summarises related events into a single digest, suppresses known-cause alerts during planned downtime, and learns from "snoozed" patterns. Pager fatigue is a deliverable.

12 OOS alerts on PH-02 in 60s
→ collapsed into 1 alert + count
Mixer MX-19 stop event during planned PM
→ suppressed (PM-active flag)
L. Park has snoozed 'low-toner' 6x in 30d
→ severity downgraded auto
B-44871 deviation · severity HIGH
→ delivered immediately, andon fires

A pager that's earned its sound.

V5

Curious how V5 actually pages the right person, the right way?

Connected

One signed event — every channel your team actually reads.

Slack, Teams, email, SMS, kiosk banners, portal pushes, webhooks, mobile — V5 fans the same event out with per-channel formatting and a hash receipt for every send.

Slack + Teams
Threaded channels per site / line / shift. 1-tap ack, snooze, escalate. Bot honors quiet hours and on-call rotation.
Email + digest
Per-role digest for low-severity, per-event for high. SES, SendGrid, Postmark — DKIM + DMARC aligned out of the box.
SMS + voice
Twilio + Vonage. SMS for critical, voice call on second ladder hop. Country + carrier compliant per region.
Signed
Event
hash receipt
Kiosk + floor banner
Amber and red banners on the V5 kiosk, with the WO, step and lot already attached — no operator hunt for context.
Customer + supplier portal
Shipment delays, quarantine notices and supplier corrective actions push through the portal — not a one-off email blast.
Webhook + mobile push
Webhook into your existing on-call (PagerDuty, Opsgenie) or fire the V5 mobile push with deep-link to the eBMR step.
No bolt-on PagerDuty. No script kingdom.
The router, the rota, the ladder, the receipt — all native to V5. Your channels stay yours.

Wondering how V5 notifications wire into the channels your team already lives in?

When the page misses

The edge cases a Slack channel + email blast quietly fails.

Four moments where V5's signed-event router keeps the page honest — fatigue, time-zone rotas, channel outages and regulator-grade evidence.

Alert fatigue + dedupe

Same SPC rule trips 14 times in an hour because the line is hunting. V5 dedupes to a single rolling thread, attaches the trend, and only re-pages on severity change — the supervisor doesn't drown.

SPC L-3 · trip · 14 in 1 h · same rule · severity MED
→ V5 dedupe · single rolling thread · trend attached
→ re-page only if severity flips MED → HIGH
✓ supervisor reads it · doesn't mute V5

On-call rotation across time zones

Suite 2 (US-East), Suite 5 (Ireland) and Plant C (Singapore) share a rota. V5 honors local quiet hours, hands off at shift change, and never pages an op on PTO — without a spreadsheet.

22:14 SGT · Suite 2 alert · primary on PTO · skip
→ back-up · D.Okafor · Ireland 15:14 · in shift · page
→ quiet hours · US-East 10:14 · supervisor cc · Slack only
✓ rota honored · DST + PTO + tz-safe

Channel down — fallback

Slack 503s mid-incident. V5 detects the failed delivery, fails over to SMS + email, marks the Slack receipt as 'failed', and replays the Slack send when the channel recovers — without double-paging.

Slack · 503 · delivery fail · receipt #NT-OUT-…-01 marked failed
→ fail-over · SMS · email · same content · new receipt
→ Slack recovers · replay original · idempotency key honored
✓ no double page · no silent miss

Regulator-relevant alert

A deviation triggered a customer notification under FSMA 204 / 21 CFR 211. V5 produces a receipt-hashed evidence pack — who was paged, when, on which channel, and when they acked — without screenshots.

DEV-2298 · customer notice fired · ACME-USA · FSMA 204 scope
→ evidence pack · sent, delivered, acked, ladder, receipt hash
→ rendered to auditor · 1-click · no screenshots, no Excel
✓ "we paged" provable · Part 11 + Annex 11 safe
