IBM Client Center

IBM researchers in Haifa, Israel are using augmented reality (AR) in the form of visual operation guidance to help people remotely access knowledge and expertise through 3D navigation, object recognition, and deep learning. Visual Operation Guidance can provide easy-to-use, step-by-step procedures, that guide even an inexperienced technician at the physical scene. 
The Visual Operation Guidance is an augmented reality platform to improve the efficiency of technical staff and preserve their knowledge, making it reusable over time. It includes three types of components: peer-guidance that lets a technician get help from a remote expert, self-guidance for independent work, and a ‘studio’ that can be used to create AR experiences for self-guidance. It’s all about making the data and knowledge visually easy to access and easy to follow. Self-guidance is done by using object recognition to add a layer of annotations on top of the images on the technicians’ mobile device. For peer guidance, these annotations are sent to the technician’s device from a remote expert. 

This exciting voice assistant technology allows technicians to conduct voice-enabled inspections modeled in Maximo’s Inspections Work Center. Technicians don't need to look at the screen or use their hands to interact with the system. Their eyes and hands are free to perform the task at hand. For the organization, no programmers or conversation designers are required to voice enable an inspection/process. All you need to do is follow simple guidelines to model your inspection forms in a voice-friendly way. Then you export the inspection form, using the existing Maximo interface, and send us the form. We feed the form to the dialog creator. Our technology does the rest. It customizes the speech-to-text engine so it understands the technical terms in your form and creates a Watson Assistant Skill that enables the technician to fill out the form using voice. The conversational interface allows the technician to use natural language. The technician can report, query or change values, and get guidance while filling the form - all without taking their eyes off the asset and the environment, and without taking off their gloves, or putting down tools. 

Technology and demographic changes are driving a transformation in the role of the technician. Equipment is becoming more complex and more connected, a retiring workforce leads to loss of tribal knowledge, and a new digital-native workforce expects consumer-grade capabilities. Our technicians will demand and require next-generation technology and skills.
At IBM Research we develop AI-powered tools that help maintenance technicians and reliability engineers be more productive, engaged, and safe. Our work leverages new and state-of-the-art technologies including: augmented reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), conversational interfaces, machine learning, and drones to build a new class of assistants for technicians.
