The globalized world seems to get smaller every day. Recent events offer a stark reminder, however, that the ability to simply "hop on the next plane" is a fragile freedom not to be taken for granted. Across much of the world, travel has been severely restricted or cut off entirely. Be that as it may, OEMs still have machines in the field that need to be commissioned, serviced and upgraded – and delays in response time are costly. For those with a remote maintenance solution, a service technici …
