Competitiveness will soon be judged on the degree of maturity of digitization. This is clear to most companies. Every industry, yes, every company has its own, individual requirements for the processes, to which a digitization would be quite good. But always to theorize about it makes the topic not really tangible. So let's talk about an industry in a very concrete way. For example, the rental of construction equipment. Let's assume that the landlord equips his machines with transponders and sensors permanently via Cloud give feedback on the status. Which application possibilities result from this? The answer anticipated: too many to enumerate all in this frame.

In focus

We will pick out two scenarios for you: A machine at the customer reports via their sensors that a component is not working as it should and needs to be replaced. The dispatcher receives the message and looks to see when a repair time window opens. The system then shows him which service employee is free and how far away he is from the machine. In the case of a repair on site, the employee receives the navigation location data as well as information about the order and the materials and tools required for the repair. After the work has been completed, he returns the ready-to-use machine to the dispatcher. Sounds smart - it is too.

Use telemetry data

The telemetry data of the machines can also be used in many other ways. For example, to capture the operating and consumption data - not bad for billing with the customer. In order to make everything transparent, you could also make the data available to him on an app. With such an app, the customer could also get many other benefits: He could get information about device operation, report damage quickly and efficiently or rent machines ad hoc.

Implement already today

Perhaps the most important thing about this story: It is not a dream of the future, but it can already be implemented with proven technology today. The telemetry data can over the CloudPlatform Microsoft Azure and the IoT adapter from KUMAVISION are processed directly in Dynamics and used internally as well as made available to the customer via App. If you are interested, contact us digitization team and we work together to develop an individual concept for you.
