Asset monitoring is designed to help you monitor equipment and perform proactive, prescriptive maintenance. In your production operations, our solution can help you:- Send alerts to designated staff using wireless devices.
- Facilitate better customer service by reducing production delays, enabling you to fulfill orders on schedule.
- Track equipment performance and help you manage your operations by integrating this data into back-end business processes and applications.
- Obtain vital information about processes and equipment from virtually anywhere without the physical limitations of wired systems.
Our solution can also allow you to monitor assets as they are delivered to customers or incorporated into a client's product. This condition-based, rather than schedule-based, service can result in:- Improved overall field service efficiency.
- Reduced outages.
- Savings in parts costs.
Used in manufactured products, this solution can help manage warranty costs—and help keep your customers happy.- Facilitate prescriptive maintenance by using historical performance data to alert you to impending service needs.
- Reduce staffing costs by lowering the number of visits for maintenance.
- Help you provide better customer service by reducing downtime of your products.

| Transform your maintenance processes

Preventive maintenance could avert a costly breakdown, such as:-
An oil pipeline leak that could lead to wasted oil and environmental penalties, as well as repair costs.
-
A part failure in manufacturing equipment, which could shut down the production line, cause a promised order to be delayed, and damage other equipment.
Proactive maintenance and service can also streamline delivery operations such as retail petroleum outlets—where utility usage and product storage levels can be remotely monitored and managed.
Asset monitoring can help you provide enhanced service-after-sale for manufactured goods, such as generators, traffic signals and aircraft parts. Implanted sensors can alert staff that the product needs proactive maintenance to prevent failure or downtime. For example, if a part in a piece of equipment has a history of failure between every 10,000 to 10,100 uses, the embedded monitoring device could alert you before the 10,000th use, so you can replace the part before it fails.
