AR assistant for equipment maintenance and remote repair

Murphy's law prescribes that critically important equipment fails at the worst possible moment. And if a qualified technician is not around, it may take weeks and thousands of dollars to repair it. The farther the facility is from a city, the more money and effort it will cost the administration to recover the unit.

Augmented reality development

Rubius has developed a remote AR assistant that allows on-site specialists to rectify faults, while being supervised virtually by a repair expert. This approach will minimize losses an enterprise may incur due to outage time, and cut expenses on equipment repair and expert visits by 2-3 times.

To contact the repairman, an on-site worker only needs to put on the AR glasses and pick an expert from the contact list. The image on the glasses is transmitted to the expert's screen in high resolution, so they see what the worker sees and can easily manage them: what to push, what tools to use, etc. For clarity, the master can leave virtual hints the on-site worker will see in the AR mode.
