Benefits of Machine-to-Machine (M2M)

M2M connects remote assets (machines, equipment and devices) with business critical systems and people to reduce costs, increase revenues and improve customer service.

Fast response to problems – don’t wait until machines fail! Get advanced warning so that the solution is remotely diagnosed and implemented before the customer notices!

Reduce downtime – improve product reliability so they don’t fail! With advance warning you can dispatch engineers with the correct replacement part eliminating lots of site visits.

Improve operational efficiency – save costs with an efficient work force that can “achieve more with less” by eliminating wasted journeys and prioritising visits.

Improve maintenance – move away from reactive maintenance that is difficult to plan in favour  of a predictive and preventative approach that saves money and keeps the customer happy.

Improve stock and consumable replenishment – streamline stock that you purchase in line with usage, so that you can reduce stock holding and ease cash flow.

Automate audit trails - remove paper trails and manual recordings that are susceptible to human error, especially where Regulation dictates that mandatory records are kept (with punitive consequences) such as Health and Safety, European working time directive and HACCP.

Smart services – create new ways of doing business and services that generate ongoing revenues such as wrapping up maintenance into the product offering, supplying consumables, pay-as-you-use, equipment rental and lease models and subsidised product sales that tie in with ongoing services akin to the mobile phone business models.
