White paper explains benefits of remote diagnostics

Knowing this, Rockwell Automation has developed a new white paper: "Reaping the rewards of a remote monitoring and diagnostics program." It may be downloaded free here.

Remote monitoring technologies allow manufacturers to collect and analyze machine conditions and production data from almost anywhere, anytime—even from remote, off-site locations. Whether a manufacturer wants to perform predictive maintenance, continuously evaluate the performance of critical machinery, or respond to problems more quickly, remote monitoring and diagnostic tools can provide a solution that will meet these objectives and ultimately help cut overall costs, improve quality, minimize unplanned downtime, and increase operational efficiency.
