Smart mobility
Scientists from IBM have revealed a mobile maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) prototype which is designed to help manufacturers and companies supplying and maintaining high-value machinery in sectors such as aerospace, oil & gas and shipping.

The system, using a combination of augmented reality and robotics, will help field engineers accurately locate equipment, provide critical information and receive real-time visual support from supervising experts based remotely.
A supervisor can monitor an engineer’s progress towards the maintenance site, using GPS. Once on site, an engineer can use a smart phone and QR codes to locate and identify an asset and receive maintenance instructions.
