Remote Maintenance

With Remote Maintenance, service technicians on site and experts from all over the world can be linked digitally. The software, which was specially designed for industry, connects both participants in an interactive video conference.

• Open an online audiovisual session with an expert or other users from your contact list
• Video sessions with anonymous participants are also possible using a combination of service number and password
• Use the integrated laser pointer to point out specific elements
• Take snapshots of the video session in progress and add annotations for better understanding
• Exchange documents such as photos, videos, documents, etc.
• Illuminate hard-to-see areas with the integrated flashlight
• The expert can share his screen, too
• Invite additional participants to an ongoing session and host a multiconference
• Recall past sessions online at any time in the service case history
• Incl. embedded mobile optimization and automatic reconnection (the video session is not interrupted)

3D Manager

The 3D Manager makes it possible to explain and analyze complex components without making them permanently available.

• Easy to use (no previous knowledge required)
• Upload 3D/CAD models that can be retrieved quickly after one-time conversion
• Use a variety of helpful tools for viewing and manipulating 3D models (including zoom, transparency slider and adjustable exploded view)
• Add colored annotations to 3D models
• Synchronous, interactive access from both participant sides during a Remote Maintenance session
• Optimized for use on mobile devices
• Data protection: No storage of data on the end device

Instant Messenger

Exchanging messages and media via our instant messenger leads to fast troubleshooting in many service cases - even before the actual Remote Maintenance session.
• Use all the functions of well-known instant messaging services to communicate with experts, colleagues or other users (asynchronous sending/receiving of messages and media, status update, etc.).
• Open group chats for even more efficient knowledge sharing
• Take a look at your contact list to see instantly which experts or technicians are currently available
• Optimized for use in industrial environments

Instructions

Instructions can be created in advance and accessed by technicians on site to solve problems independently.

• Easily create, edit, and walk through step-by-step instructions
• Manual control of instructions (work at your own pace)
• Automatically share instructions with all experts and technicians on your team

Session scheduling

Organize and plan work processes and meetings even better with the session scheduling module.
