RealWear, a company offering assisted reality wearable solutions for frontline industrial professionals, has launched three new products to support data collection and monitoring in jobsites. These products include the following: RealWear App Marketplace, RealWear Connect and a Developer Toolkit.
RealWear App Marketplace
RealWear App Marketplace is the new destination to discover applications for individuals using RealWear devices. Customers can now find apps for operations and safety within their frontline, while providing central management with tools to support frontline teams. Additionally, the Marketplace is designed for the developer community and partners who are looking to market their apps to the targeted RealWear customer. Each app that is submitted undergoes testing and verification to meet RealWear standards for UX.
“As a RealWear software solution partner, we’re extremely excited about the continued evolution of RealWear App Marketplace. RealWear continues to be the gold standard for industrial strength wearables. By hosting and featuring our apps directly on the marketplace, our customers will be able to discover our apps quickly and get onboarded. This is good for our customers, and good for our business," said José López Mancha, CEO, Wideum.
RealWear Connect
RealWear Connect is a new RealWear app found within the RealWear App Marketplace. The app enables workers to get help when needed and central operation teams to manage support requests.
When a support call is initiated by the frontline team wearing the RealWear device, including RealWear Navigator 520 or HMT-1Z1, the app triggers notifications within text, email or in-app notifications in Teams or Zoom, connecting a frontline professional to an expert. Once connected, the subject matter expert can see exactly what the frontline professional sees and guide the user through visual inspection via two-way communication, even in high noise environments.
The software is available on the marketplace for use on RealWear devices with supported firmware and Teams or Zoom apps.
Developer Toolkit
Developer Toolkit is a new feature for software developers inside RealWear Cloud. Developers can log into RealWear Cloud and access dedicated tools including Early Access firmware, uploaded apps, community boards, training materials and code snippets.
RealWear Platform Strategy
Last year, RealWear released RealWear Cloud, marking the company’s first shift from a hardware-centric company to a fully platform-centric business. RealWear Connect, Developer Toolkit and RealWear App Marketplace will be powered by and integrated with RealWear Cloud.
“We are thrilled to advance our vision of delivering a full productivity platform for frontline professionals together with our growing ecosystem,” said Rama Oruganti, chief product officer, RealWear. “Whether you are an IT professional looking to manage and deploy devices, a frontline professional looking for remote support, or a developer partner in need of tools to better manage your offering, our platform provides productivity solutions that are smart, easy to deploy, and flexible."
