Ra’anana, Israel /PRNewswire/ – Fieldbit, a leading developer of real-time augmented reality (AR) collaboration solutions, today announced that Linde, a leading industrial gases and engineering company, selected them as the augmented reality solution to aid technicians in real-time field service maintenance processes. Fieldbit’s AR solution enables knowledge sharing across multiple Linde locations and ensures an increase in operational safety. Linde joins global players BP, Veolia, Wartsila, and others in selecting Fieldbit as their IIoT and AR partner.
The augmented reality solution will allow Linde technicians to use mobile devices, tablets and/or smart glasses to get instructions in real-time from experts on how to execute inspection and carry out maintenance tasks on the ground.
