In collaboration with EVOLARIS, Kapsch BusinessCom is now offering the digital assistance system EVOCALLThis unique development by EVOLARIS uses video and audio transmission to help service teams perform maintenance processes. Anywhere and in real time. For example at Haidlmair.

Vienna, 12. March, 2018 – Tools and molds for beverage crates, storage and logistics containers, pallets, pallet boxes, containers for valuables, and automotive parts – all this and more is produced at Haidlmair in the Austrian town of Nußbach. At some point further on in the production process, it’s certainly possible that one of HAIDLMAIR’s customers needs servicing or repair tasks done which can’t be completed in-house, so that an outside expert must come immediately and quickly. Otherwise the machines stand still. This costs valuable time and thus results in lost revenue.

This is now a thing of the past. The Graz-based company EVOLARIS, in which Kapsch BusinessCom is a stakeholder, developed the digital assistance system EVOCALL, and the Haidlmair International service team has recently started using it. “The possibility of setting up a live video transmission to involve a specialist who can guide and accompany the service processes saves valuable time and avoids high additional costs. This is why EVOCALL makes everyday work easier for our service team while also increasing the system availability and product quality,” explains Christian Eckhart, Manager of International Service at Haidlmair.

In this project, Kapsch BusinessCom supported the digital transformation process and supervised the introduction of EVOCALL with its services for maintenance processes. “Working with EVOLARIS, we were able to make Haidlmair an extensive range of offers based on innovative digitalization solutions and platforms. We implemented EVOCALL with nine data glasses of the model Head-Mounted Tablet HMT-1 from RealWear and Barcotec. The video remote-support solution now makes it possible to quickly and efficiently service Haidlmair’s customers,” says Jochen Borenich, Member of the Management Board of Kapsch BusinessCom, proudly about the successful project.

Before the solution was introduced, Haidlmair had a response time of 24–36 hours at most. EVOCALL made it possible to reduce this to 30 minutes. Specialists can guide the process via live video or audio and send important information such as switch plans, data sheets, and check lists directly to the data glasses. Furthermore, the entire support session can be recorded and used for training purposes or instructional videos based on real-work situations. This hands-on approach can thus also provide efficient training on the job.
