Field device support assistant: telemetry, remote diagnosis, OTA and technician
The customer says "the device is dead"; telemetry read, remote diagnosis made, update pushed, technician dispatched with the right part if needed.
Field device support assistant: telemetry, remote diagnosis, OTA and technician is an agent scenario in the IoT & Connected Devices sector running on the whatsapp, web, api channels. Trigger: Device fault report over WhatsApp or the support portal. The Device Support Supervisor coordinates 4 specialist agents (Dialogue Agent, Telemetry Agent, Diagnosis Agent, Dispatch Agent) across 5 systems (WhatsApp Business, Device Cloud (MQTT), Fleet Registry, OTA Service, Field Service); of 10 steps, 1 write to systems and 3 are checks or approvals. Outcome: Fault fixed remotely or technician assigned; device record and knowledge base updated. Approval rule: Bulk OTA (>100 devices) or out-of-warranty device replacement → product-owner approval.

- WhatsApp: "boiler controller shows E07 since morning, no heating" + serial number photo
- Device SN 8C-220914 found in the fleet registry, under warranty, firmware 2.3.1
- Telemetry: 14 restarts in 6 hours, temperature sensor reads −40 °C, connectivity stable
- Plan: known-issue match → remote command → OTA → verify → field visit if needed
- Match: E07 + −40 °C reading = known sensor driver bug in 2.3.1 (bulletin KB-412), fixed in 2.3.4
- OTA 2.3.4 pushed to the single device, installed in 3 minutes, device restarted
- Verification: sensor 21.5 °C, error code clear, no restart for 15 minutes
- No field visit needed; staged OTA proposal created for the 1,240 devices on the same firmware
- Bulk OTA (>100 devices) submitted for product-owner approval; to start with a 5% pilot wave
- To the customer: fixed, what was done in plain language; device record and knowledge base updated

Agents
Device Support Supervisor
Decomposes the objective, delegates to agents, manages approval points, merges the result.
Dialogue Agent
Talks with the customer, pins down the device and the symptom
identify_devicedetect_intentcompose_replyTelemetry Agent
Reads recent telemetry, error codes and connectivity history
get_telemetryget_error_logget_connectivityDiagnosis Agent
Matches symptom and data with known faults, decides remote fix or field visit

Device fleet anomaly triage
Telemetry anomalies from thousands of devices are clustered, root-cause candidates listed, one incident reaches the right team.
Staged OTA update rollout
Firmware rolls out in 1% → 10% → 100% stages; a health gate at every stage, human approval for critical fleets.
Cold-chain excursion response
A temperature excursion is assessed instantly, product risk computed, a field crew dispatched, the quality decision recorded.
Time to move from experimenting with AI to transforming with it.
