Sound notification is useful at the worksite

GT25 GT21

Use message, sound effect, or melody to notify occurring events

When an alarm occurs, outputting a warning message or a warning sound can reliably convey the information to the operators who are working away from the GOT. It is also usable while screen saver is active. Quickly notify the alarm information and the error cause of the equipment to reduce the downtime of the system.
