Totalmobile Ltd
Making work & the lives of mobile workers better with Field Service Management technology.
Join Jon Woodforth, Totalmobile's Chief Technology Officer, on a journey into the world of quantum computing. Have you ever wondered why quantum computing is becoming thee buzzword of 2024? Here, Jon uncovers the mysteries behind this 21st-century marvel that promises to simplify the most complex problems.
From its quantum theory roots in the 1920s to its recent advancements, quantum computing will accelerate Totalmobile in 2024. Discover how this transformative technology will revolutionise Totalmobile's services, offering our clients solutions that were once deemed beyond reach.
1. First off, how would you explain quantum computing in simple terms for those unfamiliar with the concept, and why haven’t we heard a lot about it?
Jon: Quantum computing is an emerging field that leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to address problems deemed too complex for traditional computers. Its roots trace back to the quantum theories of the 1920s, but its journey as a practical computing framework has been in development since the feasibility of Quantum Computing was proved in 1998. There have been various barriers along the way with the technology. However, some of the major problems have recently been solved, paving the way for Quantum Computing capability to rapidly accelerate.
2. In what ways do you foresee quantum computing revolutionising the field services industry, particularly in terms of efficiency and problem-solving capabilities?
Jon: Quantum computing is great at solving complex problems. In the field services industry, where complex challenges are plenty, quantum computing's ability to swiftly solve intricate problems is invaluable. Its synergy with artificial intelligence is poised to bring about a revolutionary shift in efficiency and problem-solving.
3. Can you highlight specific challenges within field services that quantum computing is uniquely positioned to address and improve upon?
Jon: A good example is the dynamic scheduling capability found in our workforce scheduling solution, Optimise. Optimise has to route many different field service workers to many different locations in the most efficient way possible. It’s a classic problem! Quantum computing enhances the speed and adaptability of this planning process, promptly responding to dynamic changes like traffic delays or emergency adjustments (sickness, overrunning jobs). The net effect of this is not only increased efficiency, but a massive boost to customer service.
