Librestream<\/a>,\u00a0<\/a>RealWear<\/a>, and\u00a0NOV, Inc.<\/a> are collaborating to change the way field service, construction, and other industries inspect, repair, and utilize heavy equipment assets.<\/p>\n

Organizations across the world are experiencing\u00a0significant worker shortages<\/a>, which contributes to knowledge loss, decreased productivity and lost revenue due to equipment downtime. Heavy equipment operation requires specialized knowledge and skillsets that take significant time to learn and develop. For these types of organizations with specialized technicians, the worker shortage is a more acute and immediate challenge. Librestream<\/em>\u2018s AR solutions incorporate a deep knowledge network that records critical data operators use to make real-time decisions and get new workers up to speed quickly, effectively, and safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s heavy equipment is increasingly complex. It is essential that workers have access to the right knowledge and tools at the right time,\u201d said\u00a0Charlie Neagoy<\/strong>, SVP of Customer Success at Librestream. \u201cOur advanced technology solutions scale knowledge across workforces to make organizations more efficient, resilient, and adaptable by enabling organizations to inspect, diagnose, and repair any piece of equipment from anywhere in the world and through almost any device.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Librestream longtime partner, RealWear<\/em>, produces the HMT-1, a ruggedized assisted reality device that navigates the Librestream software with simple voice commands to record and communicate with remote experts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWearables paired with assisted reality platform solutions are achieving the future of frontline work,\u201d RealWear Chief Product Officer Rama Oruganti<\/strong> said. \u201cOur hands-free devices are compatible with PPE and can be operated in extremely loud, cold, windy, wet, dusty or other harsh environments. When paired with Librestream\u2019s Onsight solution, today\u2019s modern industrial worker can feel empowered to safely and efficiently access the right information, when it\u2019s needed, to complete tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOV<\/em> developed\u00a0TrackerVision<\/a>\u2122, a custom application that utilizes the hands-free devices from\u00a0RealWear<\/a>\u00a0and Librestream\u2019s Onsight collaboration solutions to connect field personnel with remote experts around the world. NOV\u2019s global aftermarket organization currently support customers across multiple languages and geographies using interactive schematics and drawings to deliver immediate support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen global operations slowed down and travel restrictions were rising, we already had the infrastructure in place to support our customers\u2019 operations,\u201d said\u00a0Katie Saski,<\/strong> NOV\u2019s Director of Sales. \u201cWe are able to offer 24\/7 global service and support to our customers without increasing downtime due to travel or even quarantine time. Offering remote Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT\u2019s) has saved our customers anywhere from 4 to 8 days of travel, plus expenses. From real-time inspections of marine resources in port to troubleshooting a piece of equipment on an offshore exploration rig in the remote waters off\u00a0Australia, TrackerVision has ensured that NOV\u2019s customers are able to maintain uptime and operations continue as intended. For NOV\u2019s global customers, the value of TrackerVision goes beyond the direct expenses of technician travel and time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The field service, construction, and heavy equipment workforce shortages, resulting in knowledge loss, and industrial and remote working conditions make immersive technology solutions a prime fit to transform the way these sectors work. NOV, Librestream, and RealWear will come together on\u00a0October 6\u00a0at the 8th annual Enterprise Wearable Technology Summit <\/em>(EWTS) to share in-depth insight into NOV\u2019s adoption and use of TrackerVision, powered by Librestream and RealWear, benefits achieved, and provide best practices to other companies when considering and implementing remote collaboration solutions.<\/p>\n
