Visual Remote Guidance Solution
for Enterprise Transformation

  • Hyper‑Quick Merged Reality

    Unlock the power for extremely fast, accurate remote expert assistance with patented Merged Reality.

    Merged Reality is a virtual, side-by-side video collaboration with blended “live” hand gestures, overlayed visual instruction, curated quick knowledge, alpha-channel-enabled visual aids, pre-selected troubleshooting, and merged demonstration using real tools and equipment. Merge content and real interactions with AR spatial understanding and annotations.

  • Curated Quick Knowledge

    Share and manage smart, quick knowledge in visually guided procedures, chat, and merged reality fast help sessions.

    Manufacturers and service organizations accelerate precise communication with curated model and serial number related images, videos, guides, PDFs, drawings, and models from enterprise content. Understand flows quickly for installation, troubleshooting, safety, sales and break/fix service in merged reality or chat sessions.

  • Auto-Guided Self-Help

    Enriched standard operating procedures with video,
    AR, and annotated pictures that can be authored by
    any user enterprise-wide.

    Ensure compliance at each step. Eliminate delays and issues altogether with instant access to a context-aware, mixed reality remote expert at any step for inspection, validation, education, or problem resolution.

  • Industry 4.0 Spatial Computing

    AR visualization helps you find assets easily. Quickly locate faulty equipment in a crowded, multi-asset environment by scanning the field with your mobile device or smart glasses.

    Quick access to organizational knowledge from multiple sources — subject matter experts, guidance automation, knowledge bank, IoT real-time data and enterprise content — improves efficiency and minimizes downtime. Get real-time stats about the system’s components from your mobile device. View the big picture with unmatched spatial computing accuracy to find what you need to get the job done faster. You can even add merged-reality remote expert collaboration for speed to resolution and unmatched uptime.

  • AI‑Enabled Value Analytics

    Sophisticated value analytics for you to understand your successes and where there are opportunities to improve. AI support for trend predictions and what-if analysis is included.

    Drill down through interactive visual scorecards and metric measurements by region, division, product-line, equipment model, customer, incident type, even user groupings and skills, to understand what is working well and where you need to improve.

Extreme Speed with Merged Reality

A unique, patented mixed reality, video collaboration experience that allows experts to “merge” and work side-by-side with anyone needing assistance.
This merged reality experience includes “live” hand gestures, overlayed visual instruction, curated quick knowledge, alpha-channel-enabled visual aids, troubleshooting content and demonstration using real tools and equipment.
Add AR annotations with 3D spatial understanding and users get the fastest level of help available in a hyper-realistic, environment where communication is quicker, more accurate, more precise and easier to validate. Even whiteboard sessions and document examination work seamlessly in merged reality. Experts are 11X faster than AR annotation-only solutions to answer remote users needs.

Remote Guided Visual Procedures

Service and visual communication velocity with remote automated guided visual procedures provides instant self-help and speeds resolution, often eliminating the need for a remote human expert.
Guided procedures assist in implementation, inspection, validation, diagnosis and data collection before, during and after a ‘live’ merged reality help session that is context aware. The entire problem-solving process is faster, reduces costs and increases efficiency.
Begin with a QR code or troubleshooting app to find the correct visual procedures and knowledge.

Quick, Curated Knowledge Management

Our fast help solution includes smart, quick knowledge management.
Manufacturers and service organizations accelerate communication by sharing curated model/class and serial number/instance knowledge (images, videos, PDFs, drawings) from enterprise content and new learnings captured from remote visual assistance. Knowledge flows more rapidly for installation, troubleshooting, safety and break/fix service.
Even accurate parts or equipment knowledge are instantly exchanged and are pre-labeled, pre-processed for “live” merged reality use to field service engineers, technical support representatives, and customers.
The knowledge management system also contains guided visual procedures that remote experts deliver for off-line use.
