Machinery varies in terms of age, modularity and technology. From development to production and commissioning to after-sales, machines and systems pass through many hands. Transparency and traceability are therefore crucial. A central database is the basis for efficient and high-quality service and after-sales. Digital processes need to be optimized and rethought in terms of cross-functionality.
Proactive customer service significantly reduces response times by identifying errors and downtimes at an early stage. Instant notification of important events via mobile devices enables mechanical engineering manufacturers to act proactively and quickly, significantly increasing operators' customer satisfaction. Upcoming maintenance and repair work can be planned and integrated into the ongoing production process or solved via remote support.
Digital customer portals turn products and services into an experience. They form the central point of entry for all information and data relating to the machine and system. When reactive service reaches its limits, they optimize customer communication, enable self-service and bundle information from different systems in one place.
The interplay between efficiency, availability and quality of machines and systems is crucial for highly automated production processes. The use of machine data in real time raises product development to a higher level and opens up the use of new data-based services in after-sales. Condition monitoring as well as KPI and trend analyses enable preventive or even predictive AI-based maintenance. This reliably prevents unplanned downtimes and effectively extends the lifecycle of machines.
IoT devices form the basis for intelligent applications of the near future, whose failure cannot be tolerated in an industrial environment. Uninterrupted connectivity, 100% security, 24/7 access, and remote monitoring and maintenance are essential for successful device management. Edge device management enables mechanical engineering manufacturers to offer immediate help worldwide, manage fleets of devices efficiently and risk-free, and monetize edge services.
These companies rely on EquipmentCloud®
Since using the EquipmentCloud®, the commissioning of our machines and robot systems can be completed more than 30% faster. Simply because the platform centralizes and networks the data of our machines, the specialized knowledge of our employees and the entire knowledge and experience from past projects in one place. We are currently using only a tiny part of the functional range and we are already impressed by the results!
Peter Seydel, Department Manager Customer Service, Fabmatics GmbH, dem Spezialisten für die Automatisierung und Robotik von Materialflüssen und Handlingprozessen in der Halbleiterindustrie
The EquipmentCloud® gives our team a quick and easy overview of all our customer projects. The individual cockpit provides not only us but also our customers with an overview of their machines, simplifies the search for important information and saves everyone involved an enormous amount of time in administration and communication. This opens new resources for us to continuously develop our customer service and gives us the ability to provide added value to our customers by linking the equipment data in the EquipmentCloud®. When searching for a suitable platform, it was most important for us to find a partner who understands us and our industry, the mechanical engineering sector. We have found that, and we can clearly recommend this solution!
