Hands Free Remote Expert

Frontline workers do their best work when they’re able to get the right information at the right time. Sometimes, that information can only come from an offsite expert or mentor.

The RealWear HMT headsets are equipped with a high-definition camera, powerful audio and unmatched noise cancellation capabilities that enable workers in the field to collaborate with remote experts. By easily connecting and working with a remote expert, frontline workers can solve difficult or unique challenges more easily and quickly — and reduce downtime and operational costs.

Field Personnel

With a RealWear HMT headset, a connected frontline worker can easily get the help they need from a remote expert.

• Powerful two-way audio provides crystal-clear communication.
• High-resolution micro-display allows workers to see the remote expert’s screen and other knowledge resources.
• Hands-free voice commands make it easier to work while collaborating.

Remote Expert

Remote experts can support frontline workers from anywhere in the world, whether they’re at the office headquarters, at home, or even in another timezone.

• A high-resolution camera allows remote experts to see exactly what onsite workers see.
• RealWear’s multiple technology partners means there’s a collaborative solution for nearly any industry challenge.
• Multiple remote experts can participate on a single call to solve complex problems.

Benefits of Remote Experts

The ability to connect frontline workers to relevant information is key to an organization’s digital transformation. With the RealWear HMT headsets facilitating collaboration between onsite workers and remote experts, organizations can improve knowledge sharing while reducing downtime and wasteful operational costs.

Equipment Maintenance and Repair

Not every fix can be found in a technical document. An experienced technician can often identify and diagnose challenging issues at a glance and help guide the maintenance or repair quickly and easily. Fast resolutions are crucial to minimizing equipment downtime and ensuring maximum production.

Reduce Travel Needs

Sending experts across the world to oversee short-term tasks is costly, time-consuming and disrupts the employees’ work-life balance. Through remote collaboration, experts can tour facilities, address specific issues or engage with workers virtually. And because they don’t need to travel, experts can “visit” more sites without the associated transportation, housing and dining expenses.

Virtual Training

Mentors are critical to developing fresh talent. But where face-to-face assistance is difficult to scale across an enterprise, a remote expert can help many workers at a time on multiple sites.

Remote Expert is hands-free collaboration and telepresence for first line workers on the RealWear HMT-1.

The HMT-1 is equipped with a high-definition camera, powerful audio and unmatched noise cancellation capabilities, enabling workers in the field to get assistance from experienced technicians (“experts”) via an enhanced two-way video call experience where the expert can remotely see and hear from the worker’s point of view.
