Connectivity is more than a buzzword, said Katie Woodling, head of product management for air conditioning, North America, at Bosch.
“As the technology for inverter boards becomes more and more complex, and as the existing generation is starting to retire and there’s more new people in the trade, the technology as a whole is at an all-time high,” she said. “How can we bridge that gap between really, really advanced technology with maybe a less trained workforce? I think connectivity is one of the ways that we can do that. We can provide the data that's necessary upfront, really aiding the contractor with install and troubleshooting.”
