For Questions about Energy and Utility Solutions
Global leaders in Energy & Utilities trust the HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1® to empower and connect their global workforce. Enable field teams to reference documents while using their hands to perform the maintenance on a specific asset. Data collection via voice provides further efficiency, enabling users to update asset information without any manual input.
Training
Problem:
With a high turnover rate in the maintenance world and approximately 72% of Utilities employers struggling to fill positions, your geographically dispersed field teams need support from experts to stay current with the latest asset information and repair procedures.
Solution:
Even those most novice of field workers can work like an expert by using the voice-activated HMT with remote mentor solutions to: capture images and videos, playback training videos, refer to manuals, and more. With RealWear’s HMT, training time could be cut by up to 50%.
Productivity
Problem:
Pencil and paper continue to be used by power & utility companies to capture information. Technicians assessing the conditions of assets in the field may not have sufficient training, may not know what notes to take, or may omit key information, which could lead to mistakes and wasted time.
Solution:
Mitigate errors in data entry and decrease the cost of labor and operations through remote mentor and visual assist capabilities on the HMT. In one study, damage assessment time was reduced by 3 to 6 hours and data accuracy improved by 50 percent.
Safety
Problem:
While maintaining critical equipment, field teams need to quickly recognize abnormalities in the environment and areas that may be unsafe.
Solution:
The ability to access critical data points through backend systems completely hands free brings safety and efficiency to the way your field teams work.
