Factory bell scheduler software for Windows

BellSchedule — Factory bell scheduler software for Windows: factory worker, industrial bell, clock, office employees

BillProduction Bell Scheduler rings bells, sirens and chimes on a 7-day weekly schedule — for factories (shift start, lunch, breaks, end of shift), warehouses, offices and stores, and schools (recess, class start and end). It drives affordable WAVESHARE network relay controllers (under $100 CAD on Amazon) and Symcod Bridge-IP devices, runs as a Windows service, and only costs $70 CAD per year.

What it does

A bell ringer that actually fits your operation

BillProduction Bell Scheduler is Windows software that fires a relay on a programmed schedule. Each relay drives whatever electrical load you wire it to — a factory siren, a corridor bell, a school chime, a public-address tone, an emergency alert. The schedule repeats every week, 7 days at a time, with full support for holidays and exceptions.

The software runs as a Windows service. That means your bells continue to ring even when no user is logged on, after a server reboot, in an unattended IT closet — without needing a screen, a keyboard or a user session. You set it up once, and you forget it.

Configuration is straightforward: pick the time, pick the day(s), pick the relay, pick the duration. Repeat for every event you need. If you already have an existing schedule in Symcod's Librairie-IP software, the data can be imported directly — no re-entry.

How it works

From installation to first bell, in 4 steps

01

Install the relay controller on your network

Plug a WAVESHARE relay controller (or your existing Symcod Bridge-IP) into your LAN. Wire your bell, siren or chime to one of the relay outputs. Assign it an IP address from your DHCP or set a static one.

02

Install BillProduction Bell Scheduler on a Windows computer

Download BellRingingManagerSetup.zip and install on any Windows 10, 11 or Windows Server machine on the same network. Register the relay controller's IP address — the software detects compatible models and lets you assign a name to each relay channel. The complete user manual (PDF) walks through every step.

03

Build your weekly schedule

For each event (shift start, lunch, break, end of class, etc.), enter the time, the days of the week, the relay channel and the ring duration. Repeat for every event you need. Already have a schedule in Symcod Librairie-IP? Import it in one click.

04

Start the Windows service & forget

Enable the service. The scheduler now runs in the background — bells fire on schedule, even after reboots, even with no one logged on. Set it once, let it run.

Frequently asked

Bell Scheduler, answered

Q1 What does BillProduction Bell Scheduler do?

It's Windows software that triggers bells, sirens, chimes or any electrical load on a predefined weekly schedule. Used in factories to mark shift start, lunch, breaks and end of shift; in warehouses for crew changes; in offices and stores for opening hours; in schools for recess, class start and class end. The software drives affordable network relay controllers from WAVESHARE and Symcod Bridge-IP.

Q2 Which relay controllers are supported?

WAVESHARE network relay controllers — including the popular Modbus/Ethernet relay boards available for under $100 CAD on Amazon and other retailers — and Symcod Bridge-IP devices. If you have a different relay controller, we integrate it for free on request.

Q3 How much does it cost?

Bell Scheduler is sold as an annual subscription: $70 CAD per year per computer. The price includes free integration of new relay controllers on request and free configuration support.

Q4 Does it run as a Windows service?

Yes. The scheduler runs as a Windows service in the background — bells continue to ring on schedule even when no user is logged on and after a server reboot. No screen, no keyboard, no user session required.

Q5 Can I manage multiple schedules?

Yes. You can create as many schedules as you need — for example a regular school year schedule and a summer schedule, or a winter shift pattern and a holiday-season pattern. Each schedule can be set to one of three states: Active (currently in use), Active during a date range (the scheduler automatically activates it for a specific period — useful for summer hours or seasonal events), or Disabled (kept for later use but ignored). Only one schedule is active at a time, and switching takes one click.

Q6 Can I import schedules from another system?

Yes. Bell Scheduler can import bell schedule data from Symcod's Librairie-IP software, so you can migrate an existing installation without re-entering every event.

Q7 Do you offer custom features?

Yes. We adapt the software to your specific needs — special schedule rules, additional relay protocols, integration with your time-and-attendance system. Contact info@billproduction.com to discuss your requirements.
