Event Relay

Overview

TilliT's structure is based around the principle that each Asset has its own order and operation. For the most part these orders and assets are separated and self contained from other orders and assets. However depending on your business processes and workflows these assets may need to communicate. This is where Event Relay comes into play. Event Relay is the feature that allows assets to send Events to other assets allowing for order and activity orchestration.

Two common use cases are:

• Linking multiple orders to change status.

  • e.g. When Order 1 on Asset A is started -> Start Order 1 on Asset B

• You attach Activities to be triggered from relayed events.

  • e.g. Asset A needs a clean done on Asset B.

  • Asset A -> Clean Required Event -> Event Relay-> Asset B -> Clean Required Event -> Cleaning Activity Triggered
