YPF, Argentina’s largest oil and gas producer, uses TeamViewer’s augmented reality (AR) solutions to improve efficiency and enhance safety at its refinery.
Staying focused on critical tasks with AR
Before adopting TeamViewer Frontline, YPF’s refinery faced challenges with safety and productivity. Field workers had to check 50,000 valves—manually. This slowed efficiency and increased the risk of error.
How YPF improved worker safety and productivity
No more second-guessing
For over 50,000 valves, YPF workers now scan a QR code to confirm they’re operating the correct ones. This eliminates second-guessing and makes daily work safer in a high-risk environment.
No more static
A refinery is a loud environment. In the past, workers relied on radio calls to communicate. Now, smart glasses display clear, step-by-step instructions right in front of their eyes, preventing misunderstandings.
No more paper trails
With Frontline, even the most complex processes run up to 10 times faster. Workers no longer need to memorize tasks or rely on written notes. Every step is explained and documented via smartphone or smart glasses.
Embracing hands-free productivity
With Frontline, workers can keep both hands free to focus on their tasks. The smart glasses they wear can be controlled by voice. This lets operators follow instructions or communicate without taking off their protective gear.
Fixing machines and guiding workers, from anywhere, with AR
Get the tools you need to help your employees. Cut down on training time and drive productivity. Guide field workers using AR or access machines remotely:
TeamViewer Frontline provides AR instructions right in front of you. These guide you through training and field work step-by-step. Workers can use it on mobile devices or wearables to complete tasks more quickly and safely.
TeamViewer Smart Service allows you to troubleshoot machinery and equipment from start to finish. You can report and assess issues, fix them, and document each step. It also helps you capture useful knowledge along the way.
Assist AR makes TeamViewer more than just a remote support tool. It gives you real-time visual access to what your on-site teams see. This helps provide solutions faster, reduce downtime, and cut back on travel.
