The challenge
In the event of technical problems with customers’ machine tools, it is very important for Eichten that the errors on the machine are determined as precisely as possible before the technicians are called out, so that the necessary spare parts can already be ordered to the customer. In the past, this often failed due to incorrect error messages, which then led to misunderstandings. Eichten was therefore looking for a solution that was as flexible and independent as possible, with which the company could establish visual and acoustic contact with customers and technicians. It was important to Eichten that this solution could be used regardless of location and without additional hardware. In the search for such a solution, the company came across augmented reality technology and contacted VR Expert for advice on possible applications.
The solution
After several consultations, Eichten decided to use the RealWear Navigator 500, along with TeamViewer Assist AR remote support software.
Together with the customer on site, the RealWear headsets are now used for more precise fault diagnosis. The customer is provided with its own smart glasses as part of a remote contract, as well as technical support from Eichten’s employees.
As soon as the customer encounters a problem on one of the machines, he can use the RealWear Navigator 500 to connect directly with an expert, which means the problem can be identified and solved as quickly as possible. Eichten also uses the smart glasses to educate and train its own technicians. By using the RealWear Navigator 500, Eichten Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH has managed to reduce on-site service times, minimize machine downtime, and save on travel and shipping costs at the same time.
