Connected Products Keep Products in Your Sphere of Control Throughout the Circular Lifecycle

Описание: This video explores how connected products—powered by IoT sensors, telemetry, and real-time data—become essential for manufacturers operating in the circular economy. In circular business models, profitability depends on ensuring that products do not unintentionally disappear from your value chain. Connected products keep every asset visible, traceable, and optimizable across multiple life cycles.

You’ll learn how smart, connected products enable proactive maintenance, repair scheduling, lifecycle assessment, authenticated returns, optimized refurbishment decisions, and smarter end-of-life routing. Without connectivity, manufacturers lose control, data, and value. With connectivity, they gain the insights needed to run repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling loops efficiently and profitably.

This video covers:
Why IoT and connected products are essential enablers of the circular economy
How connectivity keeps products within your sphere of control after the initial sale
How usage data, condition monitoring and predictive insights improve repair, refurbishment, and product-as-a-service models
How connected products power lifecycle-based decisions and value retention
Why connectivity is the foundation for reverse logistics, take-back systems, and high-quality returns
How data from connected products fuels AI, automation, and agentic lifecycle decision-making
Practical steps manufacturers can take to connect priority product lines and scale circular intelligence

This video is ideal for manufacturing leaders, product managers, service teams, digital transformation specialists, sustainability and ESG professionals, and anyone building data-rich, lifecycle-driven circular business models.
