FACTORIES BUSINESSES

Maintenance worker is alerted to the problem

on mobile device

A worker notices a problem. Alerts someone else to inspect. They walk across the factory floor to investigate the machine problem. They walk back to the office and call the appropriate repair resources. The proper tools are located. Back at the machine, worker begins to fix the problem.

The machine's control data can be viewed remotely

Problem is diagnosed in real time, from anywhere

in the plant

The right people, equipment and parts get to the machine faster

Machine is brought back into service quickly.
