Wilmington, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2006 -- Customer Self Service, field service, remote access to reporting information (mobile analysis) are some of the primary functionalities afforded manufacturers with remote operations.
With plants and assets being highly distributed, maintenance functions have always been mobile in nature, but access to maintenance data has historically been stationary. Technicians and service workers had to connect to a server-based application to locate necessary work order, inventory, and asset information. Paper documents were carried to the field where the work was performed, and carried back to the computer terminal where actions taken were entered into an asset management system. Unexpected conditions delayed the maintenance function as the worker had to return to a computer to request parts from inventory, enter material or service requests, or locate supporting drawings or documents.

With the increasing proliferation of mobile devices, wireless technologies, and Internet communications, the information itself has become mobile.
