The Digital Transformation Solution for Service and After-Sales in Mechanical Engineering
The EquipmentCloud® is your cloud-based service platform with an integrated knowledge database. With the freely selectable apps, you can map internal and external processes and collect and analyse all system-related data and information. This paves the way for predictive maintenance and machine learning. With the integrated RemoteAssistant app, you can also protect your service team by processing future support orders via data glasses and augmented reality.
You will save time and money if you use the freely selectable EquipmentCloud® apps and clever data management to make your processes more efficient in the future. Discover new digital business models by reselling each app to your customers as a smart service product.
This results in a double return on investment – as a secure solution for a digital future.
Transparency + Efficiency = Service 2.0
SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THE EQUIPMENTCLOUD®
The innovative EquipmentCloud® apps help you to make your processes faster, more reliable and more profitable. Here are three concrete examples:
Commissioning is a critical phase. Every workflow, every function, every inspection and packing list must be documented in advance so that every movement can be carried out on site. In the EquipmentCloud® you can centrally manage all machine-related information (checklists, protocols, software versions, . . . ) in a knowledge database. Increase the efficiency of your employees sustainably by making the EquipmentCloud® available as a digital workplace around the plant. With the introduction of EquipmentCloud®, our customers have already been able to reduce the commissioning time for the installation of complex systems by around 30%.
One click, one customer, one second – and you have all the information about a customer’s investment in front of you. On request, we connect your machines directly to EquipmentCloud®. With this monitoring, you can retrieve the operating status and other key figures online at any time and locate possible sources of errors at an early stage. By collecting machine and operational data, you create the prerequisite for machine learning and predictive maintenance.
With us, monitoring is also possible without direct coupling.
Do you offer your customers to be on site worldwide within 48 hours in the event of irregularities in a machine? Respect. In the future, you'll only need one minute. With the EquipmentCloud®, you can carry out troubleshooting with your customer live and online and solve most cases remotely. The RemoteAssistance app allows your support team to intervene remotely using data glasses and augmented reality. In this way, you save on travel, flight and accommodation costs for your service team and thus also tackle problems such as the shortage of skilled workers.

Offer your customers 24/7 control of their machines to minimise downtime and charge a monthly service fee. You don't have to do anything about it – because with the right app in the EquipmentCloud® this process is fully automatic.
The EquipmentCloud® will make your after-sales portfolio suitable for industry 4.0. In addition, you will receive a complete customer portal that not only strengthens customer loyalty, but already provides many advantages to your customers. Whether machine learning, predictive maintenance or the use of the remote support function, EquipmentCloud® opens up a wide range of digital transformation in mechanical engineering to you and your customers.
The cycle time and detailed performance of a system over a longer period of time indicates whether it is being used to the full or whether there is potential for optimisation. With EquipmentCloud®, you can collect all this data, evaluate it – and offer it to your customer in combination with consultation as an advisory service to achieve better performance.
