You have to send experts to your customers on a regular basis, resulting in high travel costs?
Remote Maintenance
You know the situation: Your customer reports a problem with a machine. Telephone communication between your expert and the service technician on-site is not enough to solve the problem.
The expert has to travel to the site, which means that the machine is at a standstill for the time being, resulting in high costs due to long downtimes and travel costs for far-away customers.
Reduce downtimes and save time and money with Remote Maintenance from bitnamic CONNECT.

More than just video
Features
Video transmission alone does not seem sufficient to solve complex machine problems?
Remote Maintenance offers much more thanks to a variety of synchronized tools and features.
Fast problem solving in live video via augmented reality
Use the laser pointer to highlight important elements in the video image, activate the flashlight from afar for a better view, take over the camera if required — all with just one click, while the session is running.
Shared whiteboard as an aid
Create snapshots live in the session to discuss situations together on the whiteboard with annotations such as arrows, drawings or texts. The images can be saved to preserve the knowledge.
Clear display of media in the split screen
View images (including live annotations on the whiteboard), videos and documents (e.g. manuals or service videos) together synchronously and in parallel with the current video stream in individually adjustable split-screen mode.
Proactive translation of exchanged messages
Overcome language barriers and have chat messages translated live into your own languagein Remote Maintenance sessions or in the Instant Messenger.
Collected knowledge available in the history
Access media and information from archived sessions at any time; the knowledge databaseexpands with every session. You can also manage service documentation via the call history.
Easy connection to your systems via interfaces
Connect bitnamic CONNECT with your ticket system, for example Salesforce, and/or customer portal via a predefined interface.
Visualize CAD models
3D Manager
Particularly complex issues should be discussed using 3D models before a partial disassembly of the machine or system is carried out?
Our 3D Manager was specially designed for the visualization of parts, components and assemblies without passing on sensitive data.
Synchronous, interactive access to 3D models
View and navigate in CAD models together with other session participants; any changes made are displayed synchronously.
Clear visualization of individual components using intuitive tools
Use helpful tools such as the integrated component list, the adjustable exploded view, the transparency slider, the selective marking or hiding of selected components or the text and annotation function.
Easy access to 3D models and scenes thanks to clear categorization
Save edited 3D models (including annotations, fade-outs, markers, selected degree of explosion, etc.) as scenes and use them again for future problems. You can find the models and scenes you need in seconds using the search function.
Fast, secure opening thanks to one-time conversion
Convert CAD models (in .stp/.glb format) just once to open them quickly in future without long loading times, even on smartphones, tablets or smart glasses — no data is saved on the end device.
Smart glasses
Augmented reality
Issues should be presented even better and in more detail?
Use Remote Maintenance with augmented reality (AR) on smart glasses if you need both hands free for work. You can also use the AR mode on your smartphone.
All information on display with smart glasses
Benefit from more mobility by receiving all the information you need via smart glasses in your field of vision, leaving both hands free to work on machines.
Augmented reality with the Microsoft HoloLens
Expand reality with virtual content using the Microsoft HoloLens 2 and make all work processes easier thanks to the spatially fitting overlays it provides.
Augmented reality on smartphones
Place and label AR elements such as virtual flags directly in the video stream to highlight certain aspects in the room or create descriptive step-by-step instructions live.
Everything in sight
360° Viewer
Whether it’s during completion, product acceptance, inspections or parts deliveries — you want to keep an eye on every detail?
Use Remote Maintenance in combination with a 360° camera to provide not only image sections but also a full all-round view.
Direct transmission of the 360° video image in the current session
Move independently in the all-round image to get a complete picture of the situation. Alternatively, you can switch to guided mode so that each participant moves synchronously in the same image section.
Quick highlighting of image elements using a laser pointer
Use the laser pointer by mouse click or fingertip to point out specific objects in the 360° image. If the laser pointer spot is outside the other participants’ field of vision, the direction indicator will guide them directly to it.
Easy explanation of facts with the 360° whiteboard
Create a snapshot live in the session to discuss situations together on the 360° whiteboard with helpful annotations. You can move freely in the 360° image or a participant can control the viewing direction. The images can be saved and reopened in the 360° whiteboard at any time.
Exchange messages and work together
Instant Messenger
You want to contact customers, experts and technicians for a quick exchange of messages and media in individual or group chats — without an app?
Forgo messaging services such as WhatsApp and use our service chat instead: it combines the advantages of well-known messengers with solid data protection.
Fast troubleshooting via message exchange
Send texts, photos, videos, documents or voice messages in individual or group chats and resolve many problems before the actual Remote Maintenance call.
Immediate use possible without any app download
Use the Instant Messenger in the web browser or mobile browser of your smartphone or tablet, without having to download the app first.
