    a wide area network, a local area network, a personal area network and a ethernet network;

    providing provisioning of the device with a cloud data services provider during the device manufacturing and distribution process;

    remotely locating the device from a user within a device network, the device and device network in operative communication with the communication network supplier and the cloud data services provider;

    automatically joining the device with the cloud data services provider and the communication network supplier upon power up by the end user;

    obtaining device-specific data from the manufactured device;

    embedding the device-specific data obtained on an optically scannable identification label;

    attaching the optically scannable identification label to the manufactured device;

    entering the device-specific data in a database;

    scanning the optically scannable identification label with the mobile device to obtain access to the manufactured device and to view the database data regarding the remotely located device;

    using the mobile device, powering up the accessed manufactured device; and

    using the mobile device, communicating with the device to obtain real time operational data.
