  • Every device within the platform is based on a template, from which it inherits the majority of its content through permanent synchronization.
    • Note: Synchronization can be customized or stopped by:
      • Detaching specific submodules/modules in the device settings.
      • Overwriting inherited template content with device-specific information.

    • Includes general details such as device descriptions, manuals, and standard instructions.
  • Device-Specific Information:
    • Contains unique details such as:
      • Assigned customer information.
      • Service history, including the digital service record, which tracks service cases over time.

Key Benefits:

  • Centralized Repository: Serves as a single source for device-specific data that is easily accessible.
  • Advanced Functionalities: Enables remote diagnostics, updates, and support for devices.
  • Traceability: Tracks device-specific interactions and service records, ensuring transparency and accountability.
