The IOT is streamlining and optimizing field service work on every level. Connected equipment with the right sensors are dramatically improving field service teams’ performance, enhancing end-user operations and improving customer satisfaction.
Hear in detail how the IoT is driving digital transformation of field services by enabling:
- Remote diagnosis and repair that minimizes truck rolls and better prepares technicians to maximize first-time-fix rates when an on-site visit is required
- Better reporting and data quality that improves SLAs and reduces the costs of service delivery and service parts inventory
- Improved customer and workforce satisfaction by minimizing unplanned equipment failures, downtime, and technician time-on-site

In an economic sense, a commodity is a good that is traded as if it is fungible—one unit is indistinguishable from another. From a business perspective, a commoditized product has no (engineering) differentiation.

According to ABI Research, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to cause a significant pushback on biometric device shipments, creating a major revenue drop of US$2 billion over the course of 2020. At the same, the pandemic has given rise to new identification and surveillance needs, spurring further investments in biometric Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm design, which will give a boost to the face recognition technologies market going forward.
“Contact biometric technologies like fingerprint and vein have been dealt a substantial blow due to new governmental regulations targeting contact and close-proximity interactions. Fingerprint biometrics vendors are struggling to uphold the new stringent hygiene and infectious control protocols. These regulations have been correctly introduced for the safety of users and personnel, but they have also affected sales in certain verticals,” explains Dimitrios Pavlakis, Digital Security Analyst.

“While many of the measures taken by city governments during COVID-19 are decided on the fly requiring high levels of improvisation, it has resulted in a rich laboratory type learning experience in terms of how to take advantage of the inherent flexibility of technologies to address emergency situations and challenges linked to demand-response management of assets and services,” says Dominique Bonte, Vice President End Markets. “This will have a lasting impact, coming out of COVID-19 during and after the drawn-out recovery period, in the form of a step change in how resilience is approached and generalized, allowing to prepare better for future calamities, a distinct silver lining on a very dark COVID-19 cloud.”
At the same time cities are reaping the benefits of a digital only lifestyle in the form of the sudden adoption of e-Government services, e-Health and teleconsultation, remote work, online education, and e-Commerce resulting in huge drops in traffic levels. These, in turn, are dramatically decreasing congestion, fatalities, and air pollution. Importantly, post-COVID-19 traffic levels are expected to only reach between 80% and 90% of the pre-COVID-19 levels, as digital lifestyles take hold more permanently, driven by both public and private initiatives and incentives. The result will have lasting positive effects on the environment.

The FCC passed a vote to open up the 6GHz spectrum for unlicensed use and it's “hard to overstate” the potential.
“The outbreak of COVID-19 is creating a need for flexibility that will fuel the future of connectivity,” noted Andrew Zignani, Principal Analyst at ABI Research, while a recent report commissioned by the Wi-Fi Alliance indicated that, by as early as 2020, wifi networks – which currently broadcast over 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz – will need significantly more spectrum in order to satisfy increased traffic demands.

Analysts from ABI Research say crises tend to shift perceptions in both the private and government sectors quickly — and that automated technologies are likely already doing so in the era of “social distancing.”
The report highlighted three companies, in particular:
- Denmark’s UVD Robots, which is increasing its deployments of robots that use UV light to disinfect hospitals;
- Germ Falcon, based in Los Angeles, which uses similar technology to disinfect aircraft; and
- Areas of Wuhan — where the virus appears to have materialized late last year — that are being cleaned by robots from Chinese firm TMiRob.
