Incre­asingly complex machines, diverse models, old and new problems: service tech­ni­cians are always faced with chal­lenges during commis­sio­ning, main­ten­ance or general trou­ble­shoo­ting. Even the most expe­ri­enced profes­sio­nals need support in some cases. But how is the supply of infor­ma­tion orga­nized? Do tech­ni­cians have quick access in order to anti­ci­pate costly produc­tion down­times?

The Insight-Report Service 2021, a coope­ra­tive study conducted by Kothes and the customer service asso­cia­tions in Germany (KVD) and Austria (KVA), is devoted to answe­ring these and other ques­tions about the need for infor­ma­tion in service (source: Instand­hal­tung).

 

Infor­ma­tion search too time-consuming for service tech­ni­cians 

One of the key findings of the study: 85% of the service tech­ni­cians stated that they did not have access to important infor­ma­tion and had to search for it first. This costs time and, espe­ci­ally when produc­tion delays or down­time are taken into account, money.

Digital infor­ma­tion sources and remote support instead of print and PDF

Also inte­res­ting: Print instruc­tions or PDF down­loads are not a suffi­cient source of infor­ma­tion for service tech­ni­cians in the field. Instead, they prefer digi­tally provided know­ledge, ideally in the form of mobile apps, AR or VR content, or remote support.
