Challenge
Each new machine required several follow-up visits for recipe tuning, barcode scanner alignment and PLC adjustments. Customers wanted faster startup, but the OEM did not want open inbound access.
Modibus approach
Modibus was embedded into the machine cabinet as a managed remote access device. Engineers used approved sessions with customer visibility, while telemetry was published for warranty analysis.
Outcome
Commissioning teams handled most post-install changes remotely and reserved travel for mechanical work. The OEM also built a reusable support checklist from edge logs.
“It changed how we sell service. Remote support became part of the machine package, not a favor after delivery.”
