As Industrial IoT demands rise in recent decades, the number of connected IoT devices drastically grow. However, the personnel responsible for equipment maintenance cannot meet the growing numbers of IoT devices; additionally, unexpected factors occur, e.g. the global pandemic. It seems like it is harder to maintain and repair the equipment in a timely manner.

To tackle these challenges, DFI launches  RemoGuard, a  truly remote managing solution  not only monitoring the equipment remotely, but activating OS recovery swiftly even if the OS in the machine has crashed. RemoGuard benefits from Innodisk's innoAge and  out-of-band (OOB) technology, and can timely predict equipment status before its shutdown and efficiently activate OS auto-backup and recovery despite host crashes. Furthermore, the data of device health status are collected automatically to the cloud, and users can easily monitor all connected devices through a customizable UX dashboard.

Being fully automated and widespread, the point-of-sales applications, e.g. vending machines and self-kiosks, require an approach monitoring device status from any location. If those are shut down, not only will it require repair fees to fix the machine, but also will lose lots of transactions. It will incur additional traffic and labor costs to send technicians to fix these machines.  RemoGuard ensures  real-time updates and predictive maintenance preventing unexpected malfunctions and enabling OS recovery and auto-backup to reduce costly loss.
