Key challenges faced

Chillers in the field, data out of reach.

Real-time metrics and remote monitoring were limited, and tickets had no central home.

  • Difficulty in accessing real-time performance metrics of machinery and assets
  • Restricted remote monitoring capabilities for distributed equipment
  • Lack of a centralized system for service requests, ticketing, and resolution tracking
