Intelligent Services uses proven, secure IT technology to link instruments to Agilent customer support centers, where experts provide proactive technical support designed to address problems before they affect lab productivity.
A Push for Help feature enables single-button requests for assistance, and Agilent service engineers can remotely determine the status of the system before responding.
With lab permission, Intelligent Services real-time collaboration allows Agilent engineers to open an ultra-secure remote desktop sharing session to provide advanced diagnostics to facilitate immediate, remote problem resolution.
Intelligent Services asset report and notification provides on-demand access to information and tools that lab managers can use to optimise instrument utilisation and lab productivity.
The Intelligent Services asset report provides a detailed inventory list and snapshot of real-time instrument usage and utilization, enabling managers to plan efficient laboratory operations.
The notification feature helps laboratories reduce system downtime by proactively alerting users via SMS-text or e-mail notification when maintenance thresholds are reached or when the instrument requires user interaction.
