I work with one machine shop in Kent, WA that has a dozen Citizen L32 swiss machines in a row, turning out parts all night long. It will automatically stop with no notification for minor faults but stops and pages the on-call for major issues.

Just for curiosities sake, where are those on-call people located? At location, close to factory, home presumably?

Just local management, so I’d assume within a “reasonable” commuting distance. Note that in Seattle, a 2 hour peak-traffic commute might be only 20 minutes in the middle of the night.
