Remote assistance Fast and flexible customer support by using AR technologies

As a leader in innovation, ZEISS is using pioneering technologies to enhance service excellence. Augmented reality solutions enable us to care for our customers worldwide fast and effective. Especially live remote assistance via the Microsoft HoloLens is very beneficial for Mask Shops. Local service engineers can be supported and guided by headquarter specialists in installing new software features or solving tool problems.

Using the Microsoft HoloLens can connect people quickly for collaborative problem solving at full speed. People on site can work side by side with experts on remote locations helping in real-time.

The new technology is cost-effective, accelerates reaction time and allows for having a technology specialist “onside” whenever needed. Customers clearly benefit from the reduced MTTR and increased product uptime. Of course, the use of augmented reality solutions fully considers customer´s data privacy and data security guidelines.
