Solutions > Customer advantages
For a company managing machines, equipment pools or fleets of vehicles, implementing an M2M solution has several advantages:
> Better control of remote equipment
M2M enables remote equipment to be controlled, for example to diagnose breakdown or take a reading for a level or obtain position information, activate a procedure or change the display on a screen. This remote control reduces intervention costs and enables data to be retrieved.
> Increased productivity
By enabling real time communication with remote equipment, either machines or vehicles, an M2M solution leads to increased productivity by reducing the number of on-site interventions, optimisation of resources, and makes it possible to carry out operations in real time on machines and equipment.
> New services for equipment (Smart Services)
In addition to increased productivity and control, an M2M solution also makes it possible to develop and offer new services for equipment: for example a remote assistance and maintenance service or payment methods based on actual use of equipment.
For equipment manufacturers, equipment pool managers and service operators, M2M provides the opportunity to implement new communication services.
> Detailed real time reports on equipment use
M2M enables detailed real time equipment use information harvesting: eg. usage statistics and vehicle position data, and sales data for a drinks vending machine. Access to this data can be controlled according to user type (equipment manager, equipment owner, equipment user, etc.).
