RealWear Named “Crowning Achievement” Among Industrial Wearables
|
New Equipment Digest has named HMT-1 and intrinsically safe HMT-1Z1 the industrial wearables of choice. Read the full article here:
|
Crowning Achievement: This Industrial Wearable Reigns Supreme - New Equipment Digest
RealWear’s ruggedized, hands-free HMT-1 and intrinsically safe HMT-1Z1 have emerged as the industrial wearables of choice, creating a new indispensable tech segment for connected workers.
|
|
Once New Equipment Digest published their article, we posted a blog summarizing their major findings. Immediately after we published this, Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance shared their take: |
RealWear Products “Crowning Achievement” Among Industrial Wearables - AREA
Congratulations to AREA Member RealWear whose products have been named a crowning achievement among industrial wearables in an article by New Equipment Digest profiling RealWear’s HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1 hands-free headsets.

Our Perspective on HoloLens 2 Annoucement
|
Microsoft just unveiled HoloLens 2 for enterprise on Sunday February 24th, and we couldn’t be more excited. HoloLens 2 and RealWear HMT-1 are great companion products. However, as RealWear CEO Any Lowery points out in a recent blog post, there’s an important difference: |
- Microsoft HoloLens 2 is focused on Basic Digital Training in safe environments, contextualized for the real world. Digital focus first, real-world focus second.
- RealWear HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1 are hands-free, voice operated headsets focused on advanced training in rugged and potentially dangerous environments in the real world. Real-world focus first, digital focus second.

RealWear Improves Productivity For Repair Crews
|
Gear Heads: Smart Tech Helps Repair Crews Restore Power Faster - GE Reports
One way to make field service jobs easier involves issuing smart helmets to field service crews. Designed around a regular hard helmet, headgear by RealWear includes one mini-screen placed just above the wearer’s eyes, along with a camera that wirelessly feeds the engineer’s view back to a remote expert.

Oil Company Uses AR, HMT-1 For Digital Transformation
|
|
Russian oil company Slavneft-Megionneftegaz has completed a pilot project using the HMT-1. While using the HMT-1, the company was able to improve the quality of equipment maintenance, reduce down time, and increase safety for all their workers. But we found it intriguing how they combined several types of solutions to improve productivity:
|
- Document Navigation: easily scan barcodes to identify equipment
- Remote Mentor to solve production problems
- Digital Workflow: step-by-step instructions
|
Ambulance Drivers Use Remote Mentor On HMT-1

|
We’re always amazed to hear of new uses for hands-free computing. One of our board members shared this story of how ambulance drivers in Norway are using Remote Mentor on the HMT-1 to get advice on patient treatments. The segment on HMT-1 runs from 3:48 - 5:22 in the video. Over the past year, Inland Hospital and several partners in and around Innlandet Norway have tested this hands-free computing technology with the HMT-1. Their pilot with HMT-1 has been so successful, they plan to roll it out to all ambulance drivers in the region within the next 12 months.

Have you and your team come up with an innovative way to use the HMT-1 or HMT-1Z1? We’d love to hear it! Please reply to this email to continue the conversation.

232 - Oil and Gas Predictions for 2019
|
Modalpoint offers premium Market Research and Strategy services to the Oil & Gas Industry. In this video, Modalpoint’s Director Mark LaCour shares his Top 10 Predictions for Oil & Gas in 2019. You can watch the entire video above, but we want to focus on two of his predictions here:
|
RealWear headsets are turning data into revenue everyday. When frontline workers are empowered with the right data at the right time, they can be proactive instead of reactive. Finally, Oil & Gas companies can address the Great Crew Change with industrial wearables. We just wrote a blog post that addresses this prediction, check it out here. |
