Digitalizing manual processes in industrial environments and optimizing IT/OT management

TeamViewer’s enterprise AR solutions enable companies to digitalize processes for frontline workers at the shopfloor using software running on smart glasses or mobile devices. The platform called TeamViewer Frontline offers the easy creation of step-by-step guided workflows as well as precise and reliable remote troubleshooting and contextual knowledge sharing via a shared camera stream and AR annotations. It includes ready-to-deploy solutions for order picking, assembly, quality assurance, maintenance and inspection, training, and remote assistance while being highly customizable.

TeamViewer’s enterprise remote connectivity solutions enable businesses not only to manage their entire IT infrastructure and office devices, but also to remotely connect and control operational technology (OT) equipment or embedded devices

For example, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can have secured remote access to their deployed field assets to maintain and update equipment and deliver better after-sales experiences for customers, create new business models and services, and reduce costs.

TeamViewer also helps to achieve complete visibility of connected devices, to troubleshoot technical issues remotely which reduces downtime and time-to-response, a reduction in repair and downtime costs due to remote operations and service intervention planning, along with competitive advantage.
