When borders closed in 2020, commissioning an industrial plant abroad stopped being a matter of booking a flight. Hands-free wearable computers let a local technician work under the eyes of a remote specialist — one pair of hands on site, the expertise anywhere. This article describes how such a commissioning is run and what it takes to make it work.
Against this background, the Hands Free Wearable Computing technology by RealWear came to the aid.
Two people are required to apply this technology: the owner of the technology and a specialist on site, as well as a stable high-speed Internet connection to provide for the interaction.
In the pandemic, business transaction rules have changed dramatically. The constraints introduced have significantly accelerated digitization, spurred the turn towards online mode of operation, and, consequently, the development and debugging of such technologies. At the same time, the quality of commissioning works performed remotely is not less than of those performed by specialists on site. The use of such technologies is likely to persist even when the restrictions are getting more relaxed. It will continue to be a common practice, improving the enterprises’ operational efficiency.
