You can use the digital apps to communicate innovations and keep customers up to date in your company's ecosystem.
Networking your machines enables the complete separation of machine control and user interface. The user applications no longer require any special hardware and can be operated from familiar end devices such as smartphones, tablets or PCs. This lowers the technical hurdles for both users and software developers and enables the contemporary and cost-efficient development of first-class user experiences that greatly simplify customer interaction with your product.
Added value for manufacturers
Product improvements on the hardware side are usually associated with high costs and a necessary physical conversion of the end devices. At the same time, increasing competition in the hardware sector makes it difficult to differentiate yourself from cheaper suppliers, for example from Asia. Digital offerings, on the other hand, significantly increase the perceived value of your machines to the end customer, promote an innovative image for your company and generally do not require any major adjustments to the existing hardware. As a result, additional software offers complement the technical development of your products with a significantly faster and lower-risk return on investment.
By networking your machines and offering additional cloud-based services, you gain insight into machine, sensor and usage data from your devices on site. This allows you to anticipate necessary maintenance and carry it out preventively, offer needs-based upselling and better forecast the timely need for machine parts. The data also forms the basis for the effective further and new development of your products.
The Internet of Things is rapidly developing into one of the major drivers of innovation that will determine everyday life in industry in the future. Manufacturers have recognised the added value of networking their machines and are beginning to identify and realise the opportunities for their own products with increasing speed. elunic accompanies you on this path and helps you to harness the added value for your products, future-proof your business model and benefit from the industrial transformation at the forefront.
