Efficiency Through Mobile Working

Some typical use cases for our mobile working solutions

Inspection and Maintenance

Tasks in the field can be completed faster and more successfully when workers receive the right information at the right time. Equipment and devices can be labelled with geotags, allowing a quick scan to identify items to be worked on. Work orders can be dynamically assigned to available teams, while checklists and step-by-step instructions support new employees. In complex cases, engineers anywhere in the world can provide support to mobile workers by accessing images or videos from the field.

On-site Navigation

The combination of camera and display makes it easier to find your way around large industrial areas and identify individual components. The display can accommodate both a classic map view and an augmented reality mode, highlighting important components. A simple click is all it takes to retrieve current status data from even hard-to-access devices. This allows inspection routines to be carried out much more efficiently. 

Equipment Inspections

Machinery and equipment in chemical plants must be checked regularly. Barcode scanners and/or RFID tags simplify this task greatly.

Remote Support

Unscheduled situations often require a quick evaluation by experts. On-site video and voice support enable mobile workers to quickly contact experienced specialists in the control room or directly at the manufacturer's premises. This allows potentially critical conditions to be resolved without human injury or property damage and time and costs to be saved.
