TeamViewer Customer Success story: Tecnogen

Power generators manufacturer TecnoGen leverages augmented reality for maximized uptime

Industry: Manufacturing

Use case: AR-based Remote Assistance

Background

TecnoGen, an Italian world leader in the production of generators, has improved its remote assistance service thanks to the innovative QRA (Quick Remote Assistance) technical support kit based on TeamViewer Frontline Assist. Using TeamViewer, TecnoGen can guarantee assistance to customer technicians even in the most remote and difficult to reach areas.

Challenges

Traditional phone support was no longer sufficient to meet the needs of customers who required specialized assistance from TecnoGen. The company’s goal is to offer an innovative service to transfer the skills of TecnoGen engineers to customer technicians. Thanks to using Smart Glasses, TecnoGen can provide guided support in real time and to do on-the-job training remotely.

Reduction of travel, reducing costs and improving the environmental impact of TecnoGen

Solution

The malfunction of a generator or the shutdown of a plant can cause production downtimes, which are reflected in high costs. In case of an outage, service operations are therefore particularly time critical.

This is where the TeamViewer Frontline Assist solution comes into play with its interactive features, including AR capabilities. Thanks to the TeamViewer software, TecnoGen was able to create a kit solution called QRA: Quick Remote Assistance which allows the experts at the TecnoGen Service Center to communicate with the technicians at the customer’s premises via the TeamViewer app and smart devices.

“TeamViewer has supported us in developing our QRA (Quick Remote Assistance) offering – a unique solution that allows us to guarantee assistance by skilled technicians, regardless of where they are.”
