Information Technology Meets Real-World Asset Management
"M2M" stands for Machine-to-Machine, Machine-to-Mobile, and Mobile-to-Machine, and is a newly--evolved category that defines the interconnecting of machines with IT infrastructure and mobilized work forces. M2M offers significant new opportunities for businesses across major industries to compete more effectively in our information economy. The goal of an M2M solution is to increase efficiency and raise revenues by increasing an organization's service levels, performance and competitiveness. This is achieved by allowing users to access information, receive alerts regarding critical situations, and control and manipulate variables on their dispersed machine assets via a computer or PDA device.
What it Can Mean for Your Business
M2M solutions have been facilitated by PCS in a variety of industries and environments to monitor and manage widely dispersed machine assets on a global scale. Depending on the environment in which the solution is being implemented as well as the business needs driving the solution, the machines being managed can communicate wirelessly, via a POTS line, or via an Ethernet network connection. Examples of some of the solutions that have been provided include monitoring cell tower light outages for major telemetry organizations, monitoring the structural health of parking structures and bridges for city and state municipalities, monitoring the levels of chemicals and critical chemical events in swimming pools for a major water chemical treatment company, and monitoring the time that a user spends at the drive-thru window for a major restaurant chain. M2M solutions offered by PCS provide the following benefits:
- Allow for monitoring and managing widely dispersed machine assets on a global scale.
- Provide real time access to mobilized workforces into the state, performance, service history and availability of machines dispersed across an enterprise.
- Deliver groundbreaking opportunities to generate new revenue streams and bottom-line savings.
