Optimizing Service Delivery for Manufacturers and Asset Operators

All manufacturer operations – from pharmaceutical manufacturers to power plant operations to energy producers and everyone in between — need timely maintenance to ensure consistent uptime. Asset failures can cost companies like yours hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue, reduced asset reliability, and increased safety and compliance risks. By transforming service delivery from manual processes to digital service execution, you can provide smarter maintenance while also optimizing resource utilization and improving safety and compliance indicators. Join this webinar from ServiceMax to learn how to improve your service execution.

The webinar will address:

  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) — supporting the capture and analysis of data to help deliver the right service actions
  • Asset Performance Management (APM) — providing an analytical platform for asset data management, analysis and decision making
  • Real-time insights at the point of resolution — modern tools for service execution that feature accurate asset data to ensure the right response.

Industry 4.0 – Believe the Hype

In 2018, OSHA reported 5,147 work-related deaths in the United States.  In 2017, a study by Zappix, Inc., indicated slow customer service as the contributing factor in a $75B revenue loss.  Energy.gov states that 30% of energy used in average commercial buildings is wasted.

These seemingly disparate data points have one thing in common:  all are among the most common industry-wide business problems organizations seek to solve.  Expertise and technology are available today to help companies move forward.  The digital era is here.  But where to begin?

In this webinar, you will hear about Hitachi and Oracle’s joint approach to the Internet of Things (IoT) – asset monitoring, production monitoring, connected worker and optimized factory.  Hear how to identify a use case, which is the cornerstone of any successful IoT initiative, learn the questions to ask about capturing data, see examples of customer successes, watch a solution demo and share in a Q&A with our panel of experts.

Every company is impacted by the digital age.  In the past 15 years, 52% of Fortune 500 companies have disappeared from the list.  And it is estimated that 40% of all business will fail in the next 10 years due to digital disruption.  Let’s talk about how you begin or proceed along your path to solving business problems with IoT.
