Remote Monitoring of Edge Devices

Remotely monitoring conditions like changes temperature and vibration enables predictive maintenance for machines. The benefits of predictive maintenance include: 

• Avoiding machine failures by making maintenance decisions based on historical and real-time data from the machine itself.  
• Enabling quick intervention to avoid downtime by monitoring time-sensitive conditions like changes in vibration, temperature, humidity, or tank level. 
• Initiating real-time alerts to operators so that critical situations can be resolved quickly to avoid extended downtime, scrapped materials, or product recall.

Remote monitoring technologies are also capable of improving the efficiency of manual assembly and production lines.  Some of the benefits of wireless factory notification systems include: 

• Allowing managers to remotely monitor multiple lines and work more efficiently by reducing the amount of time spent checking in on lines unnecessarily. This enables managers to quickly respond to issues as they arise and focus their attention where it's needed most.
• Increasing efficiency when managing and responding to call for parts, service, or pickup.  
• Reducing the need for workers to leave their workstations and find a manager when they need assistance.
