Remote Monitoring

Stop problems before they stop your equipment

Historically, equipment makers have had little information about how their products are being used in the field. Instead, they have relied on users to inform them of failures, using inefficient manual processes to manage equipment.

Remote monitoring of connected assets allows operations, field service, and product development teams to incorporate live data into condition monitoring, service management, and product evolution processes.

Gain the data you need to easily update software and firmware, track asset performance, develop new product features faster, and deliver the capabilities that matter most to your customers.

With Cumulocity, you can connect and monitor your devices in minutes, not weeks or months.

We’ve been able to learn so much about how our compressors actually run on-site, and we’re using that information to make improvements that directly benefit our customers. With energy efficiency as a top priority for most companies right now, we are able to use our machine-learning platform to identify opportunities that deliver real value.

You need the full picture to operate effectively

Limited visibility into machine health

Many manufacturers lack real-time insights into machine conditions, relying on manual checks or outdated data. Sensors and IIoT connectivity provide continuous, data-driven visibility into performance, allowing for early detection of anomalies, allowing for faster root-cause analysis and better decision-making.

Inconsistent product quality

Machine wear, vibration, or temperature fluctuations can subtly affect product tolerances or surface finish, increasing scrap and rework. Connected equipment sends real-time information on conditions and potential failures, as well as enabling IoT remote management of firmware and software updates to improve operating quality and enhance security.

Production bottlenecks and scheduling issues

Unpredictable equipment performance makes it hard to plan production or coordinate maintenance across multiple lines. Real-time asset data supports more accurate scheduling, so maintenance can be aligned with production cycles and use of resources is optimized.

Make more informed product development decisions

With a clearer understanding of how equipment is used in the field and the drivers of maintenance issues and performance breakdowns, your product development efforts can be better focused on the most impactful areas for your customers.

Easily integrate your devices and assets to start collecting data

Thin-edge.io allows you to easily integrate your PLCs and other edge devices while enabling you to fully leverage all of our device management functionalities out of the box, including the orchestration of edge-workloads like data processing & filtering. You can begin monitoring your equipment in minutes, not days or weeks.

Make software and firmware updates OTA

Keep your device fleet secure and up-to-date by rolling out OTA updates and defining device profiles containing everything required for the operation of your assets.

Trigger automated actions and responses with Streaming Analytics

Cumulocity Streaming Analytics can automate device operations on real-time data: turning off overheating equipment, restarting assets that are behaving unpredictably, etc.

Make data available for downstream analytics

In order to effectively analyze data from your connected assets, you first must be able to easily offload the data and make it available. With Cumulocity DataHub you can effortlessly create offloading pipelines to store IoT data in your preferred historical or analytical data store and ensure seamless accessibility for downstream BI reporting and AI/ML model training.

Improve Health and Safety for your workforce

By connecting and monitoring the sensors, devices, and cameras within a site from a single pane of glass, Cumulocity empowers you to use smart cameras to monitor worker and asset safety, conduct safety gear checking, trigger alerts for workers near dangerous equipment, or use biosensors for monitor health data.
