Energy and nuclear
Maintenance outage, ten-yearly outage, lockout: your experts pass on their skills in a few minutes; your teams and contractors prepare hands-free, on the equipment or on a mock-up, before intervening. No connection, artificial intelligence included: your know-how never leaves the site.
Your challenges
The nuclear industry has to recruit and train in large numbers, especially technicians.
In maintenance, significant events stem from shortcomings in preparation or execution: work preparation still needs to improve.
Errors and safetyA large share of the industry’s jobs are with subcontractors. Some contractors struggle to take on board some of the requirements specific to nuclear.
Some operations only come round once every ten years. From one outage to the next, the experts change.
Electrical and electronic maintenance workers, power line workers: trades where recruiting is difficult.
Energy is critical infrastructure: your procedures have no business being on a software publisher’s servers.
Secrets to protectLockout, self-checking, time-out: the reliability of an intervention depends on precise actions, prepared before entering the installation.
What SHIFT89 changes
Authoring, artificial intelligence and learner tracking without any connection: no outbound data flow, nothing held by the software publisher. Your procedures stay within your perimeter.
Learn moreOn the equipment or the mock-up, the instruction is displayed where action is needed: both hands stay free for the task.
Learn moreYour experts pass on their skills in a few minutes, during the current outage, for the people on the next one.
Learn moreIn the PC application, each instruction is translated and read aloud in the worker’s language, by an AI that runs at your site; a quiz checks what has been learnt before the intervention.
Learn moreUse cases
Preparation that can be replayed, on identical equipment or on a mock-up, outside the controlled area: every worker reviews the task before entering the installation.
Practical support for the pre-job briefing: the expected task, shown on the equipment, and the self-checking points.
The same task, the same order, the same standard for every worker, recruited fast and sometimes far from their head office, in their own language.
What your experts only do once every ten years, passed on during the current outage for the team on the next one.
Isolation, locking off, identification, verification of absence of voltage, earthing and short-circuiting: practise in the right order, before intervening.
Take the challenge (2 min)Operational base, workshop, training room: your senior technicians pass on their skills; electrical and gas technicians practise on the real equipment before intervening.
The hydropower technician’s skill, ready for whoever is alone on call, deep inside the plant, with no network.
Preventive and corrective maintenance: preparation takes place in the workshop or training centre, before heading out to the farm.
A fair comparison
They are useful practices. For preparing a rare and demanding intervention, however, they have a few limits, by their very nature.
What we equip
The tutorial supports preparation and the task: your operating documents, your mandatory training and the authorization remain the reference.
Our hardware advice
As former industry professionals, we advise you as we would have advised ourselves: the device suited to your workshop, your protective equipment and your budget. Only solutions proven in real conditions.
Radiological cleanliness, equipment entering and leaving, on-board cameras: the decision lies with the operator and its security officer. We promise nothing your rules do not allow: our first focus is preparation outside the controlled area.
Your content does not depend on one device: several glasses and headsets are compatible, and we recommend hardware that will be supported over the long term.
Outdoor substations, aerial platforms, work in extreme cold: each environment requires a case-by-case study. We tell you beforehand, not afterwards.
Just the hardware you need, proven in real conditions: neither the latest fad nor a cheaper but unreliable solution.
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. Our method has been 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 purchase, 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
That is a decision for the operator and its security officer: radiological cleanliness, control of equipment entering and leaving, and on-board cameras are governed by the site’s rules. That is why SHIFT89 focuses first on preparation outside the controlled area, on identical equipment or on a mock-up.
None. Authoring, artificial intelligence and learner tracking work offline; SHIFT89 hosts nothing and the software requires no online account.
No. Your operating documents, your mandatory training and the authorization remain the reference. The tutorial prepares for and rehearses the task.
Yes. Your teams, recruited fast and sometimes far from your head office, take on board a site’s requirements before entering it, each in their own language. Your know-how stays with you.
Your content does not depend on one device: it also works on other compatible glasses and headsets. HoloLens 2 security updates continue until December 2027 for connected devices, and we support it until at least the end of 2030.
We focus on preparation and practice: operational base, workshop, training room, training equipment. Work outdoors requires a case-by-case study.
