Long before the term IoT was coined, Siveco’s maintenance management systems were already making use of data from sensors, supervisions and control systems, to enable predictive maintenance and better management decisions. The technologies developed by Siveco have proven particularly agile to benefit from today’s IoT advances, increasingly connected machines and new cloud-based services. Today, the bluebee® lab, located in Shanghai, is at the forefront of IoT applications for Maintenance 4.0.

This month’s tips & tricks gives a new functional overview and benefits of mobile maintenance solution bluebee®. bluebee® supports all onsite activities: receiving work orders from any back-office system, reporting work done, inspection results, meter readings and measurements. bluebee® also allows users to visualize trends and graphical reports.

Siveco China’s 2016 Customer Satisfaction Survey included questions about customers’ interest in newly introduced features of bluebee®. In 2016, various usability enhancements of bluebee® were released making use of the latest technologies. In fact, all the features listed already existed by the time we launched the survey but may not be used by older customers yet. In this Tips & Tricks article, we will briefly review them.
