Whitepaper claims remote asset monitoring helps maintain upkeep of large-scale equipment and devices

A new M2M whitepaper, published by Vodafone, has claimed that industry remote asset monitoring helps maintain the running of large-scale equipment and devices across multiple locations.
 
A number of challenges face businesses today when it comes to monitoring large quantities of devices or machines across multiple locations and countries, especially when maintenance, control and the every day running of equipment is essential. Without a comprehensive management solution in place, businesses are exposed to unnecessary complexity including costs and operational in-efficiencies.
 
Within the M2M whitepaper, the benefits of Remote Monitoring & Control Service (RMCS) for large-scale equipment and devices are uncovered, including saving an organisation time and costs.
 
As part of an M2M remote monitoring system a communications module is installed in each piece of equipment and gathers data from sensors about temperature, vibration, activity, and other variables.
 
Using the mobile data network, these modules, deployed around the world, communicate with your central management systems to share the information they’re gathering, in real time or near real time.
 
In order to allow businesses to remotely monitor and control their M2M-enabled equipment, Vodafone’s integrated Remote Monitoring and Control Service combines hardware, a managed M2M connectivity service, and applications.
 
The management system looks for anomalies — such as unwanted vibration or rapid increases in temperature — and takes action, for example by automatically booking an engineer to visit with the right spare part, remotely initiating a failover to a backup system, or polling all the other pieces of equipment to double check for a similar emerging fault.
 
Integrated Remote Monitoring & Control Service offers a number of benefits to help keep a business one step ahead from its counterparts. RMCS gives management the ability to automatically monitor the health of the organisation’s assets, in real time, without having to send an engineer to the site – this increases efficiency.
