> AUGMENTED REALITY GLASSES
This smart tool is not only efficient, but also easy to use. Its functioning consists of a few simple
steps:
• In case of a machine problem, the operator wears augmented reality glasses
and frames the QR code license
• The machine operator is put in contact with SMI Help Desk
• The view the operator sees is replicated on the computer screen of
SMI after-sales technician
• This audiovisual assistance allows SMI technician to guide the operator
and help him solve the problem quickly
Augmented reality glasses offer several advantages for SMI customers:
• Since SMI Help Desk performs audiovisual support, the operator doesn’t need to send emails
with heavy attachments to receive assistance
• The fact that SMI technicians can access real-time images and videos of what the operator
is seeing enables to perform a guided troubleshooting process and to solve problems more
easily and quickly
• SMI Help Desk can send specific documentation to the operator’s glasses, by making the
communication between SMI and the customer easier
• This system allows to overcome physical distance and cut on costs of on-site interventions
• Machine down time is reduced, with great advantages for customers in terms of time saved
and productivity level
