Pulsofy Machine Alerts

Last updated 4 September 2026

This page describes the text message programme run by L&J LLC of Livonia, Michigan, trading as Pulsofy, at pulsofy.com. Pulsofy monitors industrial machines in small manufacturing shops and tells the people who run them when a machine starts to go wrong.

1. Who gets messages, and why

Only people who operate or maintain the machines being monitored. These are operational alerts to existing customers about equipment they own. Nothing on this programme is marketing. We never text a number that has not been entered into an account by the shop that owns it, we do not buy or rent phone numbers, and we do not send promotional messages of any kind.

2. How a number is added — the consent flow

There is no public sign-up form, because there is nothing to sign up to without a monitored machine. A number reaches the programme in one way only:

  1. A shop owner creates a Pulsofy account and agrees to the terms of service.
  2. Signed in, they open Settings → Alert phones and type in the mobile numbers that should receive alerts — usually their own, and their maintenance lead's.
  3. Directly beneath that box, before they save, they read: “Only add numbers whose owner has agreed to receive these messages. Reply STOP to any text to stop them, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.”

So consent is given by the person who owns the handset to the shop that employs them, and the shop owner confirms they hold it at the moment they add the number. Any number can be removed from the same page at any time, by the shop owner, without contacting us.

3. What the messages look like

Every message begins with the word “Pulsofy” so the sender is never in doubt. Real examples:

  • A machine starts behaving abnormally
    Pulsofy: The air compressor is working harder than it used to. Do next: Pull the intake filter and hold it up to a light. Reply WATCH to acknowledge or ORDER to send the parts request.
  • A sensor goes quiet
    Pulsofy: Mill 1 stopped reporting 3 hours ago. Look at the machine and check the sensor is still where you put it.
  • After a repair, once the machine has run again
    Pulsofy: Mill 1 is back to normal since the repair. Vibration, temperature and load are all inside the machine's normal range again. Nice work.
  • A pilot is ending
    Pulsofy: 7 days left in your free pilot. Your sensors keep recording either way. https://pulsofy.com/app/billing

4. How often

It depends entirely on the machines, which is the point of the product. A shop whose equipment is healthy may go weeks without a message. A machine going bad might produce two or three in a day. There is no schedule and no recurring send. Most shops set alerts to the most serious level only, which is the default.

5. Stopping them

Reply STOP to any message and that number receives no further texts. Reply HELP for help, or write to hello@pulsofy.com. A shop owner can also remove the number from Settings → Alert phones. Stopping texts does not stop the monitoring: alerts still arrive by email and in the Pulsofy app.

6. Costs and carriers

Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan. Pulsofy does not charge for text messages. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

7. Your number

Phone numbers on this programme are used to send these alerts and nothing else. We do not sell, rent or share them, and we do not use them for marketing. See the privacy policy for how we handle the rest of your data, and section 11 of the terms of service for the contractual version of this page.
