About the project
Employee training
The machinery provider trained a group of clients’ technicians to operate and service the production line without the need to reach out for support to external experts.
Knowledge outflow
Over time, the experienced staff rotated. Their successors, without the expert knowledge from the machinery provider, weren’t able to meet the needs of the production plant.
Recurrent downtimes
Lack of on-site expertise leads to repetitive downtimes. New employees weren’t capable of performing immediate repairs to ensure the desired condition of the production line.
Inefficient process
Further operation required constant support from the production line provider, delegating personnel to assist on-site technicians in maintaining the work continuity.

Challenges
Machine operator training
Passing on knowledge internally didn’t work out. Transferring details on machinery maintenance and operation from one employee to another resulted in decrease of quality in servicing the production line.
Machinery operation
Without proper operation and care, the installed production line didn’t perform in the desired way. Ongoing machinery failures endangered operational efficiency of the plant.
Data protection
The client wouldn’t agree to connectivity with external networks, as internal regulations impose top data security standards. All solutions needed to work independently from the outside world.
Equipment issues
Providing instructions available on-site regardless of external support required additional equipment, compatible with present infrastructure. The solution had to be industry-grade and robust.

The solution
The AR platform aides industrial companies by answering specialized needs
The Nsflow Box
The Box combines the advantages of the SaaS approach in the cloud, e.g. avoidance of time-consuming and costly implementation with the on-premises option, guaranteeing data protection.
AR devices
The Box connected with a mounted tablet, served as an easily-accessible kiosk. Using the heavy-duty AR glasses, employees can work hands-free in all conditions, displaying tutorials anywhere they need it.
Easy communication
The solution serves as an access-point, containing the Nsflow platform and separate communication channels with end-devices (tablets, smartphones, AR glasses), independent from the customer's IT network.
Standardized tutorials
The machinery provider created consistent tutorials regarding the production line maintenance to guide employees through encountered issues, in a regular or non-linear manner.
The outcome
Training consistency
With the Nsflow platform, training became efficient and standardized. Digital materials guide technicians through encountered issues in a standard or nonlinear way, depending on needs.
Ensuring data safety
On-site installation of the industrial-grade PC allowed for all the substantive benefits of the platform and compliance to clients’ data protection policy.
