How to optimize OEM business operations

Real-time remote interaction to keep OEM production strategies on track

What makes an OEM business model resilient in today’s climate? With the exacting demands of resellers, volatile supply chains, and complex systems to manage, the right connectivity solution goes a long way in helping you maintain control. At the same time, you need to provide your workforce with the support they need to hit your targets.

Meeting the evolving needs of VARs

In sectors such as automotive, healthcare devices, and industrial machinery (to name just a few), personalization is now the norm. Value-added resellers (VARs) increasingly expect OEMs to be adaptable. That means being able to produce multiple variants with differing specifications — often at short notice. To make sure you meet VAR specifications, you need to offer easy-to-follow workflows and staff training.
Managing a complex technology stack

Forward-thinking OEMs are already seeking to exploit technologies such as autonomous robotics, 3D printing, and IoT monitoring. But this also means a more complex mix of devices and systems that requires specialist skills to manage and maintain. If something goes wrong, OEMs need to get eyes on it as quickly as possible, to keep critical systems up and running with minimal risk of downtime.
Establishing clear lines of communication

If there’s a problem with one of your supply chain partners, you need to be able to see what’s happening and help fix it — fast. Likewise, suppose you must meet VAR time-to-market and quality SLAs. In that case, it’s essential to collaborate closely with suppliers and resellers on design specifications, prototyping, and testing, often over long distances. The methods you use for remote access and connectivity must be reliable, streamlined, and easy to use.
Maintaining a robust security stance

Gartner points to a threefold increase in supply chain attacks between 2021 and 2025. For cyber threat actors, OEMs are often seen as an ‘easy way in’ — so you can expect diligent VARs to subject your security measures to scrutiny — even more so for critical components where infiltration by threat actors will have significant implications for user safety. Particularly when it comes to the information transfer and remote connectivity technology you have in play, features such as enterprise-grade encryption are essential for maintaining a robust security stance.

Manage and maintain your production lines from anywhere

From modular conveyors and CNC machines to interconnected product lifecycle management systems, OEM technicians must often maintain a large and varied stack of assets — often scattered across multiple locations.

TeamViewer gives you comprehensive remote access and control capabilities, making it possible to view, update, reconfigure, and fix all connected endpoints from anywhere. It becomes much more viable to centralize and rationalize your IT support function, minimizing the risk of operational downtime, while also reducing the need for costly on-site call outs.

Get your people up-to-speed quickly

New employees need to get familiar with unfamiliar equipment and workflows in a way that makes sense to them. This means that contextual (on the job) training is usually far more effective than searching through a paper manual for guidance.

TeamViewer Frontline offers a range of guided hands-free support tools that are ideal for OEM worker onboarding. New starters can reach optimal productivity much quicker, as well as help existing employees become familiar with new spec lists and workflows.

Meet the expectations of resellers

How confident are you in meeting resellers’ quality benchmarks, regulatory standards, and end-user preferences? Strong relationships with resellers are built upon your ability to perform consistently in all of these areas. And even when pressure is on to do more with less, no OEM can afford to cut corners when it comes to quality and safety.

TeamViewer’s AR-driven visual assistance tools help to ensure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to quality assurance. Using smart goggles or mobile devices, step-by-step instructions are placed directly in the employees’ field of view, complete with customizable checklists to ensure everything stays strictly on spec.

From quality assurance to reseller and user assistance, TeamViewer strengthens your entire value chain.

Deliver on your lead time commitments

Lead times and inventory levels are usually crucial elements of any OEM/VAR service agreement. However, especially when faced with disruptions and outages within your wider supply chain, your ability to deliver on time and on spec is under constant threat.

If a bottleneck occurs, you need to fix it fast. TeamViewer’s solutions let you connect with any device or individual across your value chain in an instant, including headless, unattended, and hard-to-reach components. See what’s happening, suggest workarounds, execute a remote fix — and keep critical operations running like clockwork.

Make manufacturing a collaborative process

For innovating and optimizing designs, clarifying and troubleshooting, the best outcomes happen when OEMs, suppliers, and resellers work together. TeamViewer is committed to making this happen.

TeamViewer’s features include inbuilt screen-sharing capabilities, fast and secure file sharing, and annotation tools. Combined, TeamViewer delivers a one-stop platform for working through problems, sharing and visualizing ideas, and collaborating on projects in real time.

Maintain a robust security stance

Scattered manufacturing plants, multiple connected devices and systems, along with frequent exchange of data with third-party suppliers, vendors, and partners all have repercussions for an OEM’s security stance. Your connectivity and remote access technology shouldn’t be a cybersecurity vulnerability.

As a trusted remote connectivity platform, TeamViewer appreciates this more than anyone. With a top 1% BitSight Security Rating, our solutions ensure that your remote sessions, communications, and data are all in safe hands.

The TeamViewer corporate address (CA) enables you to restrict firewall communications down to a single IP address, simplifying and reducing the scope for errors in firewall settings. With a single IP address exposed to the internet, the risk of unauthorized access is significantly reduced.

TeamViewer provides everything you need to access, manage, and support all devices and systems — regardless of vendor or operating system — remotely and at scale as a managed service provider for the entire business.

Create a collaborative working experience

For key stakeholders (e.g. supervisors, strategists, and specialist technicians), it can and should be possible to stay connected from anywhere whilst putting their expertise to work. TeamViewer makes this happen, giving employees access to all key devices, equipment, software, and databases remotely without compromising on security.
