Nominated for Product of the Year: The Augmented Digital Factory with SPACE1
October 1, 2019, Chicago, Illinois, USA –
This fall, Engineering Industries eXcellence will be returning to The ASSEMBLY Show for a third year in a row. A niche system integrator and global technology solution provider with expertise in the discrete, complex and assembly manufacturing sectors, our company delivers the power of the Digital Thread for Industry 4.0. Leveraging our unique experience implementing and integrating the entire spectrum of digital tools, our team facilitates the adoption, implementation, integration and transformation journey for manufacturers across all industries worldwide.
This year, we are also excited and proud to announce that we have been nominated for the recognition of The ASSEMBLY Show’s Product of the Year 2019. Our innovative SPACE1 Extended Field Solution technology platform has been chosen as a contender for the Factory of the Future category. Developed by Engineering company OverIT Field Solutions, SPACE1 is an innovative software designed to enable Smart Factory Maintenance Management. Maintenance technicians often find themselves in situations where they an unfamiliar with an asset or piece of equipment they must work on, forcing their organizations to spend additional time and costs in order to send more experienced technicians to the remote worksite where a certain level of expertise is needed. Over time, this approach becomes tedious, inefficient and expensive.
Using SPACE1, organizations can empower their maintenace technicians with Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality, providing them the resources they need while they are in the field, in order to successfully handle and execute even the most complex maintenance and repair tasks. Through an AR-enabled device, such as a tablet or smart glasses, SPACE1 gives field technicians access to all the digital information they need about an asset or machine they are working on in the factory, in order to complete their tasks successfully and efficiently. This includes videos, user manuals, documentation, a set of preconfigured resolution procedures and a virtual collaboration feature that enables dedicated on-demand expert guidance in real time.
SPACE1 can be implemented easily and quickly, and can also be integrated with all other enterprise IT systems, including PLM, MES, ERP, CAD, GIS, Field Service Management, Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, etc. SPACE1 is available on Cloud or on-premises, and is developed for working both in online and offline mode. SPACE1 is highly flexible and can run on a broad spectrum and variety of systems and devices, including most smartphones, tablets and head-mounted displays available on the market. As a result, SPACE1 is not only suitable but highly effective within the manufacturing environment, with proven benefits including an increase in remote factory maintenance task resolution, an improvement in first-time maintenance task resolution and a significant reduction in on-the-job training time.
Digital Manufacturing encompasses much more than just the direct processes involved in manufacturing a product. All of the resources, assets and activities happening on the shop floor enable the end product to be manufactured and so must also be monitored, maintained and optimized in an efficient manner. Factory maintenance management is critical to achieving your production and business goals, and so supporting your workforce and maintenance technicians must be as well. SPACE1 augments and improves the performance of your maintenance and field service workforce by providing resources, coaching and interactive collaboration tools to help them complete their repair and service tasks more quickly and efficiently. Designed to enable all companies to leverage the capabilities and benefits of AR, MR and VR in their processes regardless of the industry or market in which they operate, SPACE1 has become an integral part of Engineering Industries eXcellence's end-to-end solution offering for the Digital Enterprise of Industry 4.0.
Visit our team at Booth 1644 at The Assembly Show 2019 in Rosemont this month, from October 22nd to October 24th. You will see SPACE1 in action and learn how it can help manufacturers achieve the Augmented Digital Factory of the Future!
