Use Cases in all Industries
REMOTE MENTOR
Remote Mentor solutions on the RealWear HMT-1 enable workers in the field to get assistance from experienced technicians ("mentors") via a video call.
The HMT-1, with its high-performance HD camera and class leading noise cancelling microphones enables mentors located anywhere in the world to see what the worker is seeing, hear them clearly and coach them in real-time. Workers have their hands free to immediately perform the steps that they are being coached on.
Remote mentors can:
- Give the worker directions and push relevant documents to their display
- Capture still images and zoom in examine fine details
- Annotate the live video or still image
Benefits
- A few experienced technicians can support many less experienced colleagues
- Reduced downtime, travel cost and repeat visits
- Enhanced safety
DOCUMENT NAVIGATION
Document Navigator gives workers in the field access to technical information in the right place at the right time. Installation instructions, wiring diagrams, construction drawings, exploded assembly diagrams, safety procedures, cutaway drawings and other critical information are accessible.
QR codes attached to physical assets can be scanned by the HMT-1 camera in order to bring up the exact document view needed for the task at hand, on the 7-inch equivalent display. Hands-free access includes voice driven zoom and head movements for panning, an intuitive experience.
Benefits
- Eliminate the time spent searching for the right information
- Avoid balancing a tablet, laptop or binder while handling tools or equipment
- Reduce task time and error rates by keeping reference information in view
INDUSTRIAL IOT VISUALIZATION
Machines and assets increasingly are instrumented with sensors and provide current and historical data for performance monitoring, diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Yet this data is often limited to the control room, where thousands of data items are presented or must be accessed using a laptop. The field worker all too often is limited to a two-way radio to communicate with the control room employee.
The HMT-1 can access the network to present the field worker just the key IoT information for the asset at hand - based on location, or asset name or number.
Benefits
- Instant access to contextual, actionable information and data
- Rich dashboard visualizations using HTML5 and 3D graphics
- Hands-free navigation between dashboards
DIGITAL WORKFLOW
Companies are transforming work instructions from paper manuals to digital formats that improve worker productivity and reduce operational errors.
Workflow solutions on the RealWear HMT-1 enable workers to reference text, visual and video based instructions, complete checklists, perform inspections, enter data and capture images while on the go.
Benefits
- Easily customize and publish and update workflows
- Hands-free navigation so each workflow step can be performed immediately, and accurately
- Studies show up to 30% reduction in task time and 88% reduction in assembly errors
- Measure compliance and efficiency of the work flow in real time
