When a service tech can't bring a machine online, your best expert shouldn't need to drive 90 miles to help. SmartOPS™ Remote Assistance puts expert eyes and voice on every job — instantly, from anywhere.

The Operational Reality

How Field Support Works Today — and Why It Breaks

⚠ Where Your Support Requests End Up
Phone call to supervisor — "describe what you're seeing"
WhatsApp photos — blurry, unlabelled, no context
Text messages across 3–5 different platforms per client
Expert drives 90 miles to physically observe the fault
Second tech dispatched — $150/hr on the road, not turning wrenches
📞 Call — "describe the fault"
📱 WhatsApp #1 (Client A)
💬 Text — Site Supervisor
📧 Email — Ticket #4821
🚗 2hr drive — Expert en route
📱 WhatsApp #2 (Client B)

The hardest thing is knowledge — and it stays in the truck.

"If a service tech called right now to say a compressor won't come online, how long before your best expert is physically on site?"

A tech who's struggling has limited knowledge. A supervisor who can't be there has no visibility. And a second expert driving out isn't turning wrenches — they're burning $150 an hour on a leash road. That gap between "I need help" and "help arrives" is where downtime, repeat callouts, and safety incidents live.

  • Mechanical failure investigations requiring 15 people on-site — all travelling
  • Experienced techs spending hours driving to assist a colleague instead of working
  • Near-misses and JSA gaps when a tech proceeds without proper guidance
  • No documented record of the remote guidance given — invisible to management
  • Lone worker policies broken when the second person can't get there fast enough

Field Operations Reality
Every hour a tech drives instead of works costs you $150. Every missed repair costs far more.
Service technicians are your most valuable field asset. SmartOPS Remote Assistance keeps them on the job — with expert backup available in seconds, not hours.

The Solution

SmartOPS™ Remote Assistance

A purpose-built remote collaboration platform for industrial field teams. Your expert sees what the tech sees, guides the fix in real time, and every moment is timestamped and logged — automatically.

📹
Live Video — See Exactly What Your Tech Sees
No more "describe the fault" guessing games. The expert joins a live video session and has the same view as the field tech. Guide, annotate, and resolve — in real time.
🎙️
Hands-Free Audio Guidance
The tech keeps both hands on the equipment. The expert talks them through every step. Works on a hard hat mount, shoulder clip, or standard mobile — whatever the site conditions allow.
✏️
On-Screen Annotations
Experts draw, highlight, and label directly on the live video feed. Point to the valve. Circle the worn seal. No ambiguity — the tech sees exactly where to look and what to do.
📸
Automatic Timestamped Evidence Capture
Every captured frame, annotation, and chat message is auto-logged with a timestamp. When an investigation team needs to review a mechanical failure, everything is already documented.
📋
Integrated JSA and Work Permits
Run your Job Safety Analysis within the same platform session. No more lost paper JSAs, no more cell-service failures at the wrong moment. One system, zero compliance gaps.
📶
Built for Remote Areas — Not Office WiFi
Designed from the ground up for low-bandwidth, intermittent connectivity environments. Sessions degrade gracefully on limited signal and sync all evidence when connectivity returns.
Operational Impact

What Changes When Help Arrives in Seconds

Field Tech — Live Assisted Repair
If I could have 15 people observe a disassembly inspection remotely instead of flying them all to the site — that saves these companies enormous travel time and idleness. That's the value I see.
  • Investigation teams review equipment failures remotely — no flights, no hotels
  • 3 levels of management can aid one tech without dropping everything else
  • Less experienced techs ramp 50% faster with real-time expert guidance on the job
  • Corporate safety directors get full visibility without a surprise visit
  • Every session produces a report — timestamped, auditable, shareable with clients
  • Near-miss moments captured visually — better evidence, better learning
Outcomes aligned with SmartOPS™ customer benchmarks: 2× faster issue resolution · −40% supervisor drive time · 60% reduction in repeat callouts · 100% auditable session logs
How It Works

From Fault to Fixed — Five Steps

No complex setup. No new hardware. SmartOPS runs on the mobile devices your techs already carry.

01

Tech Raises a Support Request

From the field, the technician logs the fault and requests remote expert assistance — directly within SmartOPS. The supervisor and assigned expert are notified instantly. No phone tag, no WhatsApp chains.

Fault Ticket Instant Notification GPS Location Logged
02

Expert Joins the Live Session

The remote expert — whether in the office, at another site, or at home — clicks one link and joins a live video session. They see exactly what the tech sees. No travel. No waiting.

Live Video Feed Hands-Free Audio Multi-Participant
03

Expert Guides the Repair with Annotations

The expert draws directly on the live video — circling components, highlighting fault points, annotating steps. The tech follows guidance with both hands free on the equipment. JSA verification runs within the same session.

On-Screen Annotations JSA Verification Work Permit Integration
04

Key Moments Auto-Captured

Photos, annotations, chat messages, and action logs are captured automatically throughout the session — timestamped, attributed, and stored. No manual reporting required from the tech.

Auto-Timestamped Photos Session Chat Log Offline Sync
05

Session Closes with a Complete Report

The session automatically generates a structured report — fault description, guidance given, photos taken, technician and expert IDs, and timestamps. Available to all management levels immediately. Share with clients as evidence of corrective action.
