New Durable Headsets Enhance Surveillance and Collaboration

Businesses and industries across the globe have adapted their strategies over the past year, adjusting to many “new normals.” Some predict that business will never be the same. There’s an increased reliance on technology, more remote collaboration and less business travel. Companies are also discovering creative ways to connect and are reassessing growth opportunities. 

Now more than ever companies should leverage technology to protect assets and monitor remote sites while minimizing travel and saving their bottom line.

Monitor Onsite Operations, Assets and Work-Flow

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are becoming more prevalent in monitoring manufacturing processes, mining operations, oil and gas extraction, transportation and commercial shipping. Companies need to have eyes on their operations, allowing for instant situational awareness which is critical to timely decision making. 

The RealWear AR headset is a new hand-in-glove collaboration and monitoring tool that DigiGone recently integrated into its digiView video-monitoring platform. This asset allows businesses to monitor sites and assets in an entirely new way. Imagine a bosun supervising cargo being loaded onto a ship from the deck while at the same time controlling the vessel’s CCTV system, using just voice commands to view the loading from other angles. This enhances operational safety and provides crews with hands-free situational awareness to ensure a smooth transition of cargo. 

DigiView easily integrates with existing CCTV systems to provide an exponential enhancement to remote monitoring capabilities with a quick return on investment.

A RealWear DigiTech headset allows crews to: 

• View CCTV with the headset display pod, which is equivalent to viewing a tablet at arm’s length
• Collaborate with others from remote locations during operations
• Share camera/view simultaneously showing activities from their onsite perspective
• Record video or take pictures using voice commands, which can be saved for future use

This 100% hands-free multipurpose device is intrinsically safe and outfitted with noise-canceling headphones and integrated speakers that allow users to easily communicate with others. The headset can be worn with standard hard helmets, bump caps and safety glasses. It’s purpose-built for loud industrial environments. 

Reduce Reliance on Travel 

Additionally, with the recent pandemic, companies have had to reassess the risks of travel: What’s the cost of potentially exposing an isolated crew to someone who just traveled through a busy airport or city? If a virus is introduced to a worksite, how long will operations shut down? What’s the full cost of that? 

But, inspections and oversight still need to take place. DigiView CCTV combined with digiTech are a unique tool set that can allow businesses to run smoothly, avoid shutdowns while keeping everyone safe and increase ROI. And since it’s a digiGone product, it’s proven to work in austere environments.
