Salesforce has introduced Connected Assets for Manufacturing Cloud that helps manufacturers see all their connected asset information in real-time. This includes details like service history, current status, customer data, and telematics information. Now manufacturers can better manage their assets and monitor and respond quickly to any issues.

With Connected Assets, sales, customer service, and field service teams can send instant alerts to customers, deliver faster and more informed support, provide personalized services, and expedite repairs all from a single platform. This seamless integration enhances communication and efficiency, allowing teams to respond promptly to customer needs.

In the blog, we will explore all about the connected assets for the Manufacturing Cloud.

What Is Connected Assets For Manufacturing Cloud?

Connected Assets connects to equipment that can send and receive data wirelessly, allowing information to be shared between the cloud and the equipment. This helps manufacturers bring together all their asset data, Internet of Things (IoT) information, customer details, and service history. As a result, they get a clearer picture of the condition, status, maintenance history, and usage patterns of their equipment.

Manufacturers can also use new AI features to gain valuable insights and recommendations based on the condition and performance of their assets, service history, and more. Manufacturers can use ready-made prompts and industry-specific data to get useful results tailored to their needs.

The AI quickly summarizes key information about assets, such as alerts, open cases, work orders, and warranty status, making it easier to provide faster customer support and find new revenue opportunities.
