Discover how LeeWay Marine leveraged mixed reality (MR) aboard its fleet to solve real-world issues and ensure uninterrupted operations. Through RemoteSpark, LeeWay connected on-board technicians with shore-based experts in real time, revolutionizing marine systems engineering and setting a new standard for remote collaboration in challenging environments.

Discover how mixed reality (MR) is revolutionizing industrial operations worldwide. From enhancing troubleshooting and maintenance tasks with real-time data visualization to enabling remote collaboration, MR is reshaping how industries operate efficiently and effectively.

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.

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.).

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.

RemoteSpark, Kognitiv Spark’s flagship mixed reality solution for remote work, is pleased to announce its latest release which includes exciting new features, various updates, and bug fixes.

Construction of RemoteSpark, a mixed reality system for remote worker support, isn’t like coding a traditional web application, analytics processing algorithm, or command-line tool. We’re building a spatial computing application and that comes with unique challenges.

Kognitiv Spark has partnered with the Tech Impact Digital Boost program to assist New Brunswick-based companies in the adoption of its AR platform for industrial remote worker support.

The Fredericton-based tech firm focused on the secure and reliable applications of AR for remote support, has been accepted into the Digital Boost program as a service provider.
