In order to cover the area of ​​digitization in the industry-sector, our CEO Helmut Guggenbichler was invited. He explained approaches towards industry 4.0 in the context of industrial mobile solutions and demonstrated how mobile data management with Augmented Reality enables the transition from “big data” to “smart data” –  filtered, valuable data – and thus to become master of the partly worthless data flood again.

He also discussed the benefits and the possibilities of AR applications and demonstrated this live with the Microsoft HoloLens®. All in all, it was a very successful event, which showed that the paths that are used in the field of digitization are manifold and, above all, already viable.

Augmensys was represented in cooperation with Vinci Energies (partner and shareholder of Augmensys). Due to Vincis strong focus on new technologies, the trade fair appearance was designed accordingly and both, Helmut Guggenbichler and Alexander Mankel, had the chance to display Augmensys at a stunning booth in a top location.

The basic concept of UBIK on a tablet was demonstrated to enthusiastic customers, but the highlight was the UBIK-HoloLens-showcase: visitors could get their hands on the wearable and experience the possibilities of the new technology in a fully working, miniature production facility right on the booth.

The fair was also a complete success in other respects. Exciting discussions led to new customer contacts and a closer cooperation with the renowned manufacturer of industrial hardware, Ecom, was also initiated.

The maintenance manager, who wants to get a quick overview on the status of work during a meeting with the production manager, is certainly one of them. The operator in the control room, external staff in non-hazardous areas during commissioning, or workers in facility management scenarios are other examples, and there are many more.

But it won’t just be yet another UBIK^® client. It will leverage the full capabilities of our well-proven UWP-client under the hood, while still being native to iOS for full performance. And we even made our XAML-templating technology available there. This will enable our customers to leverage the full power of Apple Hard- and Software, tailor data models perfectly to their needs (as usual in UBIK^®) and also shape the User Interface of the App to maximize user-acceptance.

This is yet another important step in making UBIK^® truly ubiquitous. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you want to join our Early-Access-Program for UBIK^® on iOS already today, at !

The portfolio of the international corporation includes smart solutions and services, that enable stable and efficient operation of the high-complex plants over the entire life cycle. And those services are exactly where Primetals Technologies just recently moved another step ahead, by providing its customers not only reliable expert know-how, but also a “digital twin” of the delivered equipment. This enables the Owner/Operator to benefit even more from the know-how of Primetals Technologies, allowing them to use engineering data, as well as the accompanying documents on modern mobile devices.

The set of features covers technical data and operation data, redlining of documents, geographical views on maps, and even Augmented Reality display of information available.
