What is T-Connect?
Tuttnauer’s T-Connect software is designed to boost workflow efficiency and productivity by creating a unified, intelligent ecosystem that integrates various systems and devices. This powerful tool offers a range of features to enhance connectivity with Tuttnauer units, including paperless documentation and device diagnostics. The T-Connect app further minimizes downtime by providing instant notifications of any technical issues, enabling faster troubleshooting and service to get your equipment back online quickly.
With an overview of what to expect, let’s dive into the T-Connect app’s other incredible features.
Minimizing the Downtime Through Connectivity
We mentioned above that this application is here to minimize your device downtime. But how does it do that? In a few different ways, actually. Things like:
Remote Device Access
With T-Connect, you can view the information of your autoclaves from any smart device. You can use this to monitor cycles as they’re going, saving a trip to the device itself just to check for time. And this remote access can even give you the ability to follow up on serviced units for resellers or service repair shops. That way you can monitor a customer’s unit to know if there’s any issues their unit is having without having to call or stop in.
No Paper Trails
T-Connect’s data collection and storage capabilities remotely and automatically log and move unit data to a cloud that can be accessed on any smart device. In the industry, your autoclave’s time, temperature and pressure data are all key factors to be recorded. That being said, while important, the paper trail that comes with recording every single cycle can be quite time consuming to print, file and manage. But with T-Connect, your days of printing are behind you, with easily accessible and sharable cloud data that can be accessed by anyone at any time.
Predictive Maintenance
In line with taking the hard work out of the equation, the T-Connect app can detect maintenance and service issues before any human can. Tuttnauer describes this feature as being useful for avoiding long tech service calls. Or alleviates the need to describe an issue over the phone. With T-Connect, once a problem occurs, just look at the autoclave’s data logs and look for the issue it logged. This feature helps to ensure you don’t spend hours diagnosing the issue when you could be using that time solving it. With T-Connect, even the simplest issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely.
Remote Software Updates
This one is simple, with remote access comes remote features, like software updates. Nowadays, most autoclaves are reliant on some kind of software, which gets updated from time to time. But there might be a time where your unit needs an update and you’re not in. Thankfully, with T-Connect, you don’t have to wait until you’re back in-office. You can use the app to update your unit remotely from anywhere with a connection.
Notifications and Alerts
Along with automating a huge majority of your day’s worth of autoclave processing, T-Connect can be set to notify you of important events. Things like preventative maintenance periods need to be closely monitored so that they get done on time. But sometimes keeping track of even that can be difficult. And that problem is what inspired our Free Preventative Maintenance Program here at SAS. With T-Connect, you can set alerts for things like maintenance messages, cycle history, automatic material replenishment and more. And, with remote monitoring, your service center or reseller can fully support you and help manage the service alerts. And when it’s time for maintenance, your service provider can notify you and walk you through the process.
