M2M technology helps monitor facilities and equipment of a business

Marketing Release - Facilities and equipment of a business, such as lighting, heating, air conditioning, elevators and escalators, can be easily monitored via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology.

Vodafone, a global provider of M2M solutions, has released a report on retail-based M2M solutions, which can be viewed here.

M2M technology allows maintenance staff to monitor potential problems ‘off the clock’ before these problems occur, ensuring that downtime doesn’t have to affect the shopping experience.

Furthermore, by tracking shopper numbers and movements, the effectiveness of a business can be optimised by monitoring how merchandising strikes a chord with customers of different ages and gender, and can gather valuable data for the planning of store layouts and staffing rotas.

A connected cabinet solution, where businesses can constantly monitor the operational status of retail display cabinets, is being offered by Vodafone.

Connected cabinets allow businesses to guarantee that goods are kept in the optimum condition, and also monitor product consumption. These solutions alert the warehouse when stocks are low in real-time, triggering an instruction to restock products.

Vodafone has over twenty years’ experience in offering M2M solutions, providing services via 70 wireless networks on five continents. For more information click here.
