How financial institutions can better manage risks in the industry through IoT technology

October 10, 2024
How can banks, leasing companies and insurance companies benefit from asset risk monitoring via IoT technologies?

In modern industry, the networking of machines and systems is becoming increasingly important. This development is particularly relevant for financial institutions that invest in industrial assets. Asset risk monitoring is an effective tool for risk assessment and monitoring. But how can banks, leasing companies and insurance companies benefit from this technology?

What is asset risk monitoring?

Asset risk monitoring describes the continuous monitoring and evaluation of machines and systems in real time. IoT technologies and cloud analytics enable companies to record the condition of their assets in detail, identify risks at an early stage and respond to them in a targeted manner.

Utilization potential for financial institutions

  1. Reduction of failure risks:
    Real-time monitoring helps to detect problems at an early stage and prevent failures. Financial institutions can thus minimize the risk of production interruptions or expensive repairs.
  2. Sound basis for decision-making:
    Accurate information from IoT systems enables a more precise evaluation of investments. This creates more security and reduces uncertainties when granting loans or making investments.
  3. More efficient portfolio management:
    weak points in the portfolio are identified at an early stage and investments can be managed proactively. This enables more strategic management and optimized investment decisions.

Practical application - how financial institutions benefit

One specific example is the use of asset risk monitoring by leasing companies. Leasing companies that lend machinery and equipment to industrial companies benefit enormously from real-time information on the use and condition of their assets. Problems are detected at an early stage and necessary maintenance can be carried out in good time. This greatly reduces the risk of machine breakdowns and the resulting loss of rental income.

Monitoring also plays a decisive role for banks that grant loans to companies in the industrial sector. Lending is often based on the assumption that the financed machines can be used in the long term and without major disruptions. By integrating asset risk monitoring, banks can continuously monitor the performance of the machines and initiate measures at an early stage in the event of impending failures.

Why IoT technology is revolutionizing risk assessment

Traditionally, the risk assessment of machinery and equipment has been based on historical data, which is often outdated or incomplete. IoT technologies are fundamentally changing the game by providing real-time information. IoT sensors attached to machines continuously collect data on uptime, vibration, temperature and other important factors. This information is processed in a cloud-based platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to recognize patterns and identify risks at an early stage. This enables financial institutions to make more accurate predictions about the condition and service life of their assets.

Conclusion: A must for modern financial institutions

Asset risk monitoring is increasingly becoming a crucial tool for banks, leasing companies and insurance companies. By precisely monitoring and analysing machine risks, investments can be better secured and losses in value minimized. In an increasingly digitalized industry, asset risk monitoring is an indispensable tool for the long-term profitability of investments.
