Our reactive support and proactive monitoring service is designed to address the challenges of an increasingly competitive environment for you, our trade partners. Through a combination of reactive support and continuous, proactive monitoring, the intention is to prevent issues before they arise. In this manner, we support you in lowering your cost of service, reducing unplanned downtime, and speeding up issue resolution to positively impact customer satisfaction. Philips Maintenance Optimization Service Agreements help you to:
Our aim is to support and complement our partner service organizations and enable them to provide the same experience for their customers as a Philips Remote Service Organization.
Philips remote engineers help diagnose issues and solve them remotely, if possible. An issue report with advice on further actions and proposed spare part(s) changes will be provided to you in case remote resolution is not possible. This allows you to fix certain problems with fewer onsite visits and improve FSE productivity, thereby saving costs typically generated by multiple FSE visits and excess material consumption.
Smart algorithms constantly monitor critical system parameters through the Philips Remote Monitoring Center. This remote system access allows for proactive issue remediation before events occur (when possible). Reports are created with advice of further actions and proposed part changes.
When you receive a call from a customer about an equipment issue, you evaluate whether it is a case that should be forwarded to Philips. Once a case is registered in our system, our engineers remotely log into the customer’s equipment to diagnose the issue and solve it remotely, if possible. When parts need to be changed, the Philips engineer suggests the respective parts so you can fix the equipment at the customer's site.

Philips constantly monitors system health remotely. Our smart algorithms generate an alert if they detect a potential future system issue. A Philips service engineer then registers the case in the system and forwards it to the remote support team. The remote service engineer assigned to the case immediately begins to work on identifying and proactively fixing the issue, if possible. The engineer advises you on future actions and proposed part changes. This enables you to take further action in collaboration with your customer to replace the parts and repair the system before it impacts the workflow.

Philips Remote Service prevented unscheduled downtime and interruption to our patient schedule. By remotely detecting an increase in data resends from our CT scanner, our system was repaired before we ever experienced a problem.”
