Land forces
Unit workshops, industrial support, schools: the experienced technician’s procedure is displayed on the real equipment, and both hands stay on the tool. Everything works without a network, in the workshop as on operations. No data passes to the software publisher.
We don’t know what our customers do, and we don’t need to know.Emmanuel Bricard, co-founder.
Your challenges
Postings, rotations, departures: when the technician leaves, their know-how must not leave with them.
When teams rotateEquipment worn by intensive use, a tight workload, know-how concentrated in a few experts.
Some procedures come up only now and then: they are forgotten between one occasion and the next.
On operations, in a sensitive workshop: no network, or no question of opening one. No data must leave.
100% offlineWhat SHIFT89 changes
What the workshop manager, the technician and the newcomer experience.
Create, learn, translate: everything works without a network, artificial intelligence included. Your procedures stay on your equipment, under your sole control.
Learn moreThe procedure is displayed on the vehicle. No tablet resting on the armour, no phone to hold: both hands stay on the tool.
Learn moreThe workshop manager passes on a procedure in a few minutes, on the real equipment: one minute per instruction, with no writing, no editing, no contractor.
Learn moreA quiz checks that the procedure is understood; you track who has learnt what, and where people get stuck.
Learn moreUse cases
Reception, diagnosis, inspection: the experienced technician’s procedure, available right beside the vehicle, at every support level.
Procedures shared between workshops, in-house as well as with your industrial partners: know-how no longer depends on a single person.
The newcomer follows the procedure step by step, in augmented reality; the workshop manager remains available for everything else.
Revise an infrequent intervention before you need it, on the real equipment.
The procedure travels with the equipment: it is displayed on the vehicle, even where no network exists.
The technical task rehearsed as often as needed, on the real equipment, during preparation.
Military schoolsThe difference
Every tool has its strengths. Here is what these approaches impose by nature, and what we do differently.
What we equip
Through-life support of land equipment, with tools right beside the vehicle.
Our hardware advice
Having worked in industry ourselves, we advise our customers as we would have done for ourselves: the device suited to your conditions of use, the length of your programs and your budget. Only operational solutions.
Devices that work without any connection, from first to last use.
Workshop, deployment, wear with personal equipment: we advise you on the hardware suited to your environment. Some conditions (outdoors, cold, explosive atmospheres) require a case-by-case study.
Hardware chosen to last and to be supported; your content does not depend on a single device.
Turnkey: we configure each device and fit it with the necessary accessories, so that it works in your environment and with your constraints. What we prepare
Works on: Microsoft HoloLens 2, Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura and VIVE Eagle, and soon Arvicom CART-3D. Your content does not depend on a device.
Measured results
Figures measured during our deployments, a method validated by 5 industrial PhD theses and evaluated against Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides.
Industrial research
Our method stems from work carried out with Institut Mines-Télécom in a boiler manufacturing plant. It was compared with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides.
Result: a study published at IEEE ISMAR 2022, the leading international conference on augmented reality.
Deployment
In our deployments, one day of training is enough: trainers create their first tutorial that same afternoon, then work on their own from the next day.
Result: 8 trainers operational at D+1.
Funding and procurement
An off-the-shelf solution, on quotation. It is up to the buyer to qualify their contract, according to the rules that apply to them.
One licence per device, glasses or headset, with volume discounts, and one licence for the PC application. Your choice: annual licences, multi-year licences or licences for the lifetime of the hardware. A quotation based on your project.
A one-hour scoping session by video call, one day on site with up to 8 of your experts, then standard project management. Additional support days when your project requires them.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. No connection is required, whether to create, to learn or to track learners. The artificial intelligence (transcription, translation, voice) also runs on your computers, offline.
The official documentation remains the reference. The tutorial complements it: it shows the task on the vehicle, right where action is needed, and can be updated in a few minutes when the documentation changes.
It also makes training far more engaging and effective, particularly for younger generations. And it enables independent training, where there is no safety risk for learners.
Finally, it becomes your training standard: all learners are trained the same way, and this standard improves continuously, incorporating the best of your past, present and future trainers.
Bringing a camera-equipped device into a protected area is subject to the approval of the site security officer: your rules apply. On our side, images stay on your equipment and none are sent to the software publisher. We do not know what our customers do with our solution, unless they tell us and share their content with us, on their own initiative.
At SHIFT89, we support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030, so you can use your investment for longer. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to work: your HoloLens 2 headsets can therefore be disconnected from Wi-Fi, for maximum security.
Your content does not depend on a single device: several augmented-reality glasses and headsets are compatible. We advise you, completely independently, on the one that suits your operating conditions and your budget.
All content created with #AugmentedTraining on HoloLens 2 can be reused, without being redone, on the new glasses and headsets we support.
On the contrary: the tutorial stays in the workshop when the technician leaves. Their successor finds it on the same equipment, and can improve it in turn: your training standard keeps the best of everyone who has held the post.
Accreditation is a decision by the authority that operates the system, for a given system: we do not claim it. Under a non-disclosure agreement, we provide the technical documentation useful for your process.
A 30-minute to 2-hour demonstration, on one of your pieces of equipment, on an isolated network if needed.
