09:30 - 09:50 Why Machines Fail: The Elephant In The Room For IoT
For equipment manufacturers and service organizations, the type of data feeding the so-called Internet of Things (IOT) has been around for over twenty years. Back then it was called telematics, autonomics, M2M (machine-to-machine) or remote diagnostics and it wasn’t based on internet standards. Today the internet is ramping up the volume of data, but the basic challenge still remains: making use of data.
This presentation focuses on putting diagnostic data to use for product support – meaning faster fault isolation, more accurate repairs and less costly downtime. We will show how Closed-Loop Support strategies are transforming the information generated by call-centers and field service into better customer support, product reliability and future designs.
Please join us for a lively discussion about the real-world of IOT.

17:15 - 17:35 Closing Keynote: Transforming Maintenance To Improve Customer Service
The Aberdeen Group reports a 20 percent higher customer satisfaction and retention rate for best-in-class service organizations. For decades facilities teams have turned to the calendar or hour meter to determine when it was time to service their heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and other building systems. But recent innovations give organizations the information they need to perform maintenance when it is really needed and not just because it is scheduled. The most effective service and maintenance strategies are proactive, holistic, technology-enabled and knowledge-based. Predictive and reliability-centered maintenance strategies can help organizations improve energy efficiency, manage operating costs, enhance the environment and reduce the likelihood of unplanned systems failure, which could have a devastating effect on their ability to achieve business objectives. This presentation will discuss how moving to a predictive and reliability centered maintenance approach can improve service and overall customer satisfaction.
