Explore how Mixed Reality (MR) is transforming industrial manufacturing by erasing limitations for deskless workers. From enhancing on-the-job training to providing real-time task support, MR integrates digital assets seamlessly into physical environments, ensuring efficiency and safety.

In the manufacturing, energy, utilities, and nuclear sectors digital content is most useful when blended with the physical world. One key innovation, mixed reality technology, is showing much more promise.

Sustainability isn’t what it used to be. Now a key driver of business innovation, the term has broadened over time to cover three intertwined categories: social sustainability, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability.

At Kognitiv Spark, we focus on the delivery of secure and reliable remote worker support using the Microsoft HoloLens and it’s our specialty.

Kognitiv Spark is both a Microsoft Gold and Mixed Reality partner. Microsoft is a great ally in the Mixed Reality space. They are the world’s leading MR hardware provider and support a community of 1000s of MR app developers.

The Kognitiv Spark innovation team is looking to augment its team to help accelerate the next version of RemoteSpark and unannounced spatial computing and industrial metaverse projects

When mobile augmented reality (AR), head-mounted mixed reality (MR), and assisted reality technologies first began hitting the market in the mid-2010s, companies and thought leaders immediately identified these technologies for the ability to solve the age-old problem: How do I help a worker fix a problem without being physically there myself?

As part of the work that we do at Kognitiv Spark, we get to interact with many industrial engineering firms, either as customers or partners.

By nature, industrial engineering requires significant on-site travel for its staff. As an example, an engineer that builds the plans for a new water treatment facility is typically required to travel to its construction site several times (inspections, troubleshooting, change requests, project management, etc.).

In many industrial sectors, client demands are increasing, and end-products or outputs are expected faster, cheaper, and often customized. Couple this with the knowledge that competition is fiercer than ever, and organizations are left with one choice: innovate or become irrelevant.

Three-plus decades ago as a high school student I worked a summer at the Ganong Chocolate factory in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada, to save money to buy a new computer. Established in 1873, Ganong has the distinction of being Canada’s original and longest-standing family-owned and operated chocolate and confectionary company. Working there I ate a ton of candy (and still do!).

RemoteSpark is Kognitiv Spark’s industrial-grade remote communications tool built on the Microsoft HoloLens. It’s used to connect technicians and engineers to remotely located subject matter experts to reduce equipment downtime and maintenance-and-repair-related travel costs for senior techs and subject matter experts.

Considering our clients use RemoteSpark in some of the most remote, challenging, and low-bandwidth environments, we’re happy to announce that we’ve added additional robustness and stability to our AR remote guidance solution.

With every passing year, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality solutions are becoming more commonplace in enterprise environments. Like any new technology, this introduces fresh challenges for organizations and IT departments to solve.

In this report, we will address some of the key challenges and provide an outline for effectively vetting and enrolling AR/MR solutions into your organization.
