Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics system.

One of the major benefits of a remote diagnostic tool is the ability to enhance the triage process for managers to assign the right job in priority to the right person. Therefore, when a customer typically calls to report an issue, they may not be specific or clear about the fault. This does not help in fault identification but the tool can be useful as remote diagnostics will be able to get related information or data from the machinery directly for analysis and evaluation in real-time.

Advantages of the online system.

• This data obtained will help the staff at the help desk in an office in fault diagnosis and determine whether a site visit is required or a voice or video engagement.
• Even when service personnel goes to the site, they will be in a far better mind to expect what they are going to face.
• The customer in turn gets their product or asset up and running much faster via this process, thereby increasing the first-time fix rate which is a critical KPI for organizations.
• Modern diagnostic tools have the ability to harness the data from the assets at the site via the IoT devices and integrate it into a cloud environment for further use.
• Another advantage is this system can reduce the training period and efforts of the field service engineers or executives.

Remote diagnostics software has one part to support the remote assistance team who can simply log in to the application to help the customer. The other part is for data analytics to help diagnose a problem. Data can be used for the predictive analysis required for maintenance and interventions, to reduce downtime and get better uptime of the assets.
