2. Innovation in Manufacturing
Predictive maintenance offers you and your customers more insight into the production process by collecting data from machines.
Mere anomaly detection can help you save costs on maintenance, while sensors can even detect unauthorized usage and prevent loss:
- Plant asset tracking & management: Avoid unauthorized usage of equipment by tracking your equipment’s location, fuel levels, usage throughout your entire company and avoid theft, loss or injuries and equipment failure.
- Condition based monitoring: Use your data to monitor the status of your equipment. Detect water leak, vibrations, difference in pressure, humidity in pipe-work, control temperature or prevent corrosion.
- Plant or building condition sensors: Sensors enable real-time monitoring of air quality, temperature, lightning or even occupancy at your plant or other buildings.
- Drones & robots Drone images provide an overview of the activities at your plant. Robots and cobots on the other hand automate repetitive tasks.
- Chatbots & virtual assistants are your customer’s assistants of the future.
In 2020 virtual assistance is responsible for 25% of customer interactions.
Customer Stories
They can be deployed quickly and they are a lot cheaper. Ecologically it’s great too, because drones are far more environmentally friendly.
says Elwin Van Herck, CEO of Noordzee Drones.
Emergency services deploy camera images from drones on site in real-time. Drones have a supportive role for helicopter units.
Proximus 4G offers the fastest uploading speed and the fastest response times, which is extremely important for fast-growing mobile internet applications such as drone images. Tersec develops and integrates emergency systems. They provide the drone feed and real-time GPS coordinates. This allows emergency services to respond more quickly and more efficiently, wherever they are.
