Can a late/end-game alarm panel be added for the Production Data so that the following could be plugged in:

If Iron Plate Production is less than Iron Plate Consumption for 10 Minutes, Trigger Alarm.

Due to the nature of the game, this is not something that is possible to do when constructing mega bases with the circuit network.

My advice would be to use a workaround. Buffer some iron at your smelter. When the buffer goes below a threshold, use a programmable speaker to send an alert for that smelter. Allows you to keep it separate for each smelter, and keep an eye on which ones need a new mine attached to them.
