Wayne, NJ, MARCH 9, 2017 – Konica Minolta HealthcareAmericas, Inc. announced the launch of itsAeroRemote™ cloud-based, active monitoring solution for Konica Minolta AeroDR^® Systems. AeroRemote detects and immediately reports critical issues and provides ongoing performance metrics with the AeroDR^® Wireless Flat Panel Detectors, providing detailed reports that can be reviewed anywhere and at any time.  AeroRemote offers secure, real-time information needed to maximize system utilization, minimize service interruptions, and evaluate personnel performance, enabling better decisions, sooner. It provides immediate notification of certain critical events and produces monthly reports, by system and user, detailing usage and personnel productivity, providing at-a-glance information that facilitates a more efficient operation, supports user best practices, and optimizes AeroDR imaging assets.  Using predictive analytics, AeroRemote helps support teamsassess hardware status and identify actions to be taken before an unexpected issue arises, reducing downtime by scheduling service before problems occur. Real-time monitoring of system parameters and events—from drop detection to component performance—lets users make faster and better-informed support decisions.
