CASE STUDY: Asset Tracking & Industrial
Equipment Monitoring
The Opportunity
An industrial plumbing equipment manufacturer has recently learned that business owners who buy their products would like to integrate location and usage tracking information into their equipment to help them better manage resources. Plumbing equipment often gets lost, left behind or mismanaged. Not knowing location and condition of equipment leads to a lack of insight into day-to-day operations. If a customer’s work order is delayed, bad reviews are reported and business slows. Access to location data can give insight into what’s going on to resolve problems for business owners.
The Process
The product manager from the plumbing equipment manufacturer researched the IoT stack to understand how this solution could be built. Web research yielded a systems integrator who introduced the team to a cellular connectivity group, and an IoT platform who had completed a similar project with a case study on its website. The IoT platform provider introduced the company to the hardware partners who could provide the necessary sensors.
