VANCOUVER, Oct. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Universal mCloud Corp.
(TSX-V: MCLD) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of
IoT-connected, asset-care technology solutions, today announced
that it will be including RealWear Inc.'s HMT-1TM
fully-rugged, head-mounted tablet solution into its
Asset-Circle-of-CareTM cloud offering. This
hands-free, voice-controlled technology brings remote video
collaboration, technical documentation, industrial IoT data
visualization, assembly and maintenance instructions and
streamlined inspections right to the eyes and ears of workers in
harsh and loud field and manufacturing environments.
HMT-1TM will be offered as part of the
AssetCareTM bundled solution and will be initially
deployed in Canada.
mCloud President and CEO Russel
McMeekin says, "Connecting the asset to the field technician
using RealWear's HMT-1TM technology provides a more
efficient circle of care, giving asset owners the ability to
greatly improve asset performance and ensure that assets are
properly serviced in a timely, cost effective manner. Field
service workers are able to gain real-time access to key asset
information and provide remote expertise. Canada is an
excellent market for this solution as assets are highly
distributed, yet readily connected via high performance
communication using technologies like 4G."
There are over 1 million connectable energy assets in
Canada that can rapidly adopt
market-ready IoT devices. mCloud's AssetCareTM
solution is an open, cloud-based solution that employs big data,
deep analytics, machine learning, real-time collaboration and
communications, 3D Augmented Reality (AR), and best practice
maintenance to provide all asset stakeholders with total
transparency in the health and performance of their connected
assets - all within mCloud's Asset-Circle-of-CareTM
framework. At its core, AssetCareTM monitors the
performance of HVAC units and wind turbines. Once connected,
mCloud uses its proprietary technologies to improve asset
performance resulting in better energy profiles. The
Asset-Circle-of-Care™ further extends to support field service
actions including real-time video communication with asset experts
and access to complete equipment documentation. With mCloud's
24/7 support centre, and having field service technicians equipped
with The RealWear HMT-1TM technology,
AssetCareTM customers have access to best-in-class
maintenance and surveillance to ensure assets are consistently
performing at the highest level of efficiency.
RealWear, CEO Andy Lowery says,
"Almost a year ago, RealWear and mCloud began working together to
ensure delivery of an integrated software and hardware solution
that would connect field service technicians to powerful
cloud-based tools, completely hands free. Today, RealWear is
thrilled to announce the next phase of our partnership with mCloud
as we deploy, at scale, the first of its kind, voice-driven,
industrial-grade HMT-1TM, fully integrated with mCloud's
Asset-Circle-of-Care™ solution."
