Increase Safety and Security. Enjoy Peace of Mind.
Smart connected products can deliver reliable, ever-watchful safety and security assurance, helping customers save money, reduce losses and meet regulatory requirements.
Safety Assurance: Using Data and AI to Remain Always Alert
Why Safety Breaks Down When We Rely on Humans Alone
Safety and security are ever-present challenges. Unfortunately, unless there’s been a recent incident to remind and motivate them, humans aren’t great at maintaining preventative practices. And in truth, they may not even be on location to notice issues cropping up. When problems occur, the business costs are real, including lost productivity, liabilities from damage, lost goods, and compensation claims.
How Connecting Your Products Can Enhance Safety and Security
Smart connected products never tire of ensuring safety and security standards are upheld. AI-fueled cloud or embedded logic can use the data from your products to detect dangerous conditions or unusual activity, identify equipment about to fail, ensure cargo integrity or coordinate asset movements, assuring 24x7 safety and security of operations.
Safety Assurance Creates Long-Running Revenue Opportunities
Given increasing regulatory demands and risk premiums, what customer wouldn’t want a cost-effective, all-seeing safety monitor or security warden? A connected service that prevents accidents and detects incidents puts money in the bank for them and for you.
Safety and Security Drives Business Risk – The Only Question is “How Much?”
Safety and security are problems that every business needs to manage. But rarely are they top of mind, at least until the next incident or failure puts them there! Safety incidents can bring operations to a sudden halt. Security failures can lead directly to business loss. In severe cases, either can put the entire business at risk.
Even for everyday issues, business costs can pile up rapidly, from lost productivity or inventory to regulatory concerns or business liability. Safety and security assurance reduces incident rate, driving concrete value for customers through increased operational savings, improved regulatory compliance, and reduced distraction and paperwork.
How Connecting Your Products Can Enhance Safety and Security
Safety and security assurance can be deployed and scaled as needed on the back of modern, intelligent services fed by data from connected products:
Always-on data feeds
Unlike humans, computers don’t get bored. You can rely on connected products to continuously feed the data streams needed to detect, identify and prevent safety and security issues. Every day of the week. Every hour of the day. At whatever frequency your risk scenarios demand.
AI detection of unusual conditions
Impending failures may be obvious as sensor feeds trend out of band. Or AI models may be needed to detect unusual activity that doesn’t line up with normal. Whether running in the cloud or at the edge, intelligent services fed by data from connected products can be your eyes and ears, trained to notice anything suspicious and immediately escalate the concern.
Works wherever your assets are located
Ensuring safety and security within a controlled environment is hard enough. When your assets or equipment go out into the world, wireless connectivity can help you keep tabs on them wherever they go. Safety and security can reach beyond your four walls and travel with your assets.
Secure, remote audit trail
The regulatory demands of security and safety means that data integrity is vital. Multi-RAT connected products can ensure that data is not lost, regardless of network availability. Proper security practices enforced by your connected product can ensure that data doesn’t get – and can’t be – corrupted.
Safety Assurance Creates Long-Running Revenue Opportunities
Reducing accidents and incidents saves customers money. Improving compliance saves them more. Continuity and reliability of protection are the cornerstones of what customers value, month after month.
This aligns perfectly with offering safety assurance through either a subscription or success-based business model:
Subscription
Running safety and security assurance programs 7x24 is core to the whole “never sleeps” aspect of the value proposition. Setting your offering up as a subscription mirrors the pricing and delivery models, reinforcing to customers that your service is running every month they pay for and benefit from it.
Success
Preventing, deterring and detecting safety and security incidents is the name of the game. That gives you the opportunity to participate in direct savings by pricing your service on an outcome basis, allowing you to make more money the more successful your offering is. In high-value scenarios, when before and after incident rates can be accurately measured, this may allow you to take a larger slice of the pie.
