Industrial Solutions

The remote assist technology can change the way industrial companies troubleshoot and take care of the inquiries at the customer level as well. It helps in optimizing the maintenance work, helps in efficiently avoiding hazards or reporting them, and can effectively guide through a lot of repair and installation work with 3rd parties involved during the commissioning process. It helps in promoting a safe workplace while also increasing customer satisfaction to great lengths.

There are certain pointers you must take note of while choosing the right remote assistance package for such deployments:
  • Method of Delivery – Let’s face it, every other company offers an app these days for even minimalistic solutions where an app is not required and probably the web browser solution could suffice. However, if there are limitations with the browser as you need to take care of all possible integrations for various devices including Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, etc, along with the bandwidth resolutions pertaining to content modules, then you could always do with an application based solution. You need to select a partner who is proficient and has demonstrated excellence over the course of time.
  • Device specific usage – Let’s understand that providing the remote assist feature across devices can turn out to be expensive. Check which are the most common devices used at the workplace, be it Android devices, or Tablets, desktops, etc. And if price is not a barrier, well at least to certain degree then definitely go for the complete package.
  • Perfect Platform Creation – You need to be sure which features you will need
  • (a). CRM integration is required or not? Is it necessary to have customer history so as to help in quick solutioning mechanisms based on past history? (b). AR annotations tools – does the processes involve complex troubleshooting processes? (c). Are file transferring features required? (d). Protocols pertaining to privacy guidelines and secured platform is a must. (e). Analytics and reporting tools – again data forms the heart in big organizations to take timely and informed decisions. (f). AI - Just like chatbots are enabled for quick and easy solutions online, smart visual tech assistance can become a game changer. It is still in the nascent stage though. Take the decision accordingly.
