The Remote Assistance session at EWTS 2021 event, which is sponsored by CGS, will focus on how businesses have had to adapt to the unprecedented logistical challenges of remote work and social distancing using tech to facilitate collaboration and knowledge transfer over distances. The panel will discuss how to leverage AR/VR:

  • View work instructions, 3D models, graphics, alerts, videos – hands-free
  • Access real-time information
  • Record and verify work
  • Enable remote expert support (see-what-I-see)
  • Reduce errors, downtime, and associated costs
  • Address the aging workforce & skills gap

“As the business world adjusts to a remote workforce, companies need to enhance the way they are doing business,” said Stephen. “Emerging technologies, such as augmented reality, are playing an integral role in bringing teams together virtually to address business needs. The panel will outline the benefits of these emerging technologies to help organizations provide their remote technicians with on-site assistance. These experts will also offer practical information for real-time use, features and cost.”
