Digitalization is changing the way companies maintain and repair their machines and systems. Remote servicing, i.e. the remote maintenance of plant and machinery, is becoming increasingly popular as it offers many advantages. But for which companies and industries is remote servicing particularly suitable?


What is remote servicing?
‍Remote
servicing enables companies to monitor, diagnose and, if necessary, repair machines and systems remotely. By using IoT, cloud technologies and data-based analysis tools, problems can be detected at an early stage and often even rectified without the need for a technician to be on site.


The advantages of remote servicing

  1. Minimized downtime
    Real-time monitoring and early diagnosis allow potential problems to be detected and rectified quickly. This significantly reduces unplanned downtime and keeps production running.
  2. Cost efficiency
    As no technician needs to be on site, companies save on both travel and labor costs. In addition, proactive maintenance can prevent major damage and the associated high repair costs.
  3. Fast response times
    Technicians can respond immediately to alarms and often resolve the problem remotely. This is particularly advantageous for companies that work around the clock and cannot tolerate long downtimes.
  4. Access to expert knowledge
    Remote Servicing enables direct access to experts who do not need to be on site. This is particularly useful for complex or specialized machines where in-depth expertise is required.


For which companies is remote servicing suitable?

  1. Machine and system manufacturers
    Manufacturers who want to offer their customers additional services can use remote servicing to improve their service and build long-term customer relationships. The ability to respond proactively to problems increases customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.
  2. Manufacturing companies
    In the manufacturing industry, downtime is costly and often affects the entire production process. Companies that rely on high machine availability benefit enormously from the fast response time and minimization of downtimes through remote servicing.
  3. Companies with geographically dispersed locations
    Companies with multiple locations or plants that are geographically dispersed benefit from remote servicing, as technicians do not have to travel constantly. This not only saves costs, but also time and reduces the company's carbon footprint.
  4. SMEs and start-ups
    Small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups that cannot maintain their own maintenance department benefit from remote servicing. It enables them to access expert knowledge and carry out maintenance work efficiently without having to invest in expensive resources.
  5. Companies in remote or difficult-to-access areas
    Companies that operate in remote regions or difficult-to-access locations benefit particularly from remote servicing. Maintenance and repair work can be carried out quickly and efficiently without the need for a technician to be on site.


Conclusion
‍Remote
Servicing is a forward-looking solution that is suitable for many companies and industries. It not only offers cost efficiency and fast response times, but also a proactive approach to the maintenance and servicing of machines and systems. In particular, companies that rely on high machine availability or have geographically dispersed locations should consider remote servicing.
