In this short webinar presentation delivered in February 2017 we focus on multiple ways that data from connected devices in the IoT can be leveraged to reduce support costs while improving customer satisfaction This is one of the biggest opportunities for ROI in IoT today for commercial and residential product manufacturers. We touch on various use cases and explain the importance of diagnostic context placed on connected device data.
Value of connecting devices and machines is not always obvious.

Today we’ll talk about the aspect of remote monitoring delivering strong business value
Remote service - this provides a rapid ROI without immediately changing the entire value chain. Products are enhanced with sensors to monitor health & performance and provide much needed asset information to customer service agents and field technicians. This helps in delivering an accurate solution at a faster rate and reducing the equipment downtime thereby increasing the customer loyalty. A chance to further upsell/cross-sell acts as an additional revenue generation stream by knowing the composition of the current equipment and its performance against standard expected metrics.
This is cool because…
Wat
An ability to transform customer experience – additional product value can be enhanced quickly and at a lower cost through software upgrade of the connected systems. Additional product value can be enhanced at quicker and lower cost through software upgrades which can focus on the usability thereby increasing the shelf life of the product.
Reduce Warranty costs –Arrest false claims – the operating conditions could be monitored to help establish genuine warranty claims
Improve design – Manufacturers can get better insight into the performance of the equipment thereby bringing in better features and functionalities with quicker and better design
Reduce inventory costs – with insight into potential failures manufacturers can better plan their inventory levels and increase sales of their high margin parts
Reduce service cost – by equipping the field technician with information on the equipment configuration, performance, usage, etc he/she can provide better service enhancing
Higher first-time fix rate
Enable remote servicing – decreasing unplanned equipment downtime and reducing travel cost
How can we substantiate the opportunity to drive strong value from IoT through this remote diagnsotic use case?
