What you can achieve 

Remote Assist is built around four measurable operational outcomes. Every feature on this page connects directly to one of them. 

Increase first-time fix rates

Help technicians diagnose and resolve issues faster with live expert collaboration, AR guidance, and precise annotations. Fewer repeat visits. Less wasted time.

Reduce Travel with Remote Support

Resolve issues remotely from any location and time zone. Experts and technicians connect on smartphones, tablets, PCs, or AR headsets, reducing travel costs and downtime. 

Capture and Retain Expert Knowledge

Automatically record every session to build a searchable library of real fixes. Turn resolved cases into reusable knowledge for training, compliance, and ongoing support. 

Close the Skill Gap and Streamline Support

Replace ad-hoc calls with structured, repeatable AR-enabled support sessions. Less experienced technicians can handle complex issues faster, with better consistency and fewer errors.

How it works

From first call to resolved, in minutes 

Step 01

Launch a session

From the Remote Assist Dashboard, click Start Meeting or share a meeting link. Field users join via browser with no app install required, or through the frontline.io app. 

Step 02

 Connect and collaborate

Both parties communicate through live video, voice, in-call chat, and screen sharing, within a single session window. Noise suppression keeps audio clear in industrial environments.

Step 03

Annotate, record, close the loop

The expert draws AR markers onto the live feed, pauses the stream for HD capture, and shares Interactive Flows or Digital Twins in-call. Every session is automatically recorded in the real-time analytics platform.

From Remote Assist to resolution 

Remote Assist connects to real-world workflows across the full equipment lifecycle. From a single support call to standardised field operations.

Knowledge capture

Every resolved session becomes a training asset. Session recordings feed the knowledge base automatically, closing the skill gap for the next technician who faces the same fault. 

Everything you need for scalable remote support 

A complete set of AR and collaboration tools. Available across all supported devices from day one.

AR Annotations that anchor

Remote Assist annotations let you draw directly on the live feed so the technician always knows exactly here to look and what to do next.  Sketch freely, place beacon highlights, or drop numbered arrow markers onto the technician’s camera view.  Remote Assist Overlays anchor and persist, so the expert does not need to re-point every time the camera moves.

Digital Twin in-call

Share a live Digital Twin inside the session. The remote expert and technician view and interact with the same 3D Digital Twin in real time, anchored to the physical equipment in front of them. Share Interactive Flows directly from the in-call chat window to guide the technician through maintenance standard operating procedures without leaving the call. 

Screen Sharing

Broadcast your desktop or a specific application window to all participants. Share schematics, diagnostic tools, or reference documents during the call  

Web Client Session

Experts join directly from any browser. No app install required. Access and control a remote device from any location. 

Translated Closed Captions

Real-time speech-to-text captions automatically translated into the technician’s preferred language. 

In Call Chat

Send text notes, URLs, and links to files or videos during the live session without interrupting the video feed. 

AI built into every support session 

Remote Assist connects to frontline.io’s AI Suite. Experts and technicians get the right knowledge, the right procedure, and the right guidance at the moment they need it. 

Knowledge Hub

Control the knowledge your AI uses. Upload and manage the documents and data that power AI answers across your workspace. The right knowledge reaches the right teams automatically.

Translate with AI

Break the language barrier. Translate guided flows and work instructions into multiple languages while preserving structure, logic, and technical accuracy. One session. Any language.

AI Insight

Guide users during execution. AI Insight helps technicians find the right procedure, follow step-by-step guidance, and improve workflows in real time, grounded in your workspace knowledge base

Engineered for industrial reality 

Industrial environments do not tolerate approximations. Remote Assist is built for the conditions your teams actually face: noise, complexity, remote locations, and high-stakes decisions under pressure. 

Hardware agnostic

Sessions run on iOS, Android, PC, web browser, Microsoft HoloLens 2, Magic Leap 2, and HMS SiNGRAY G2. No hardware mandate. One AR workflow across every device

Noise suppression

Factory-floor audio stays clear. Noise suppression filters out background industrial noise so communication remains sharp even in the most demanding environments. 

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Encrypted video and audio via WebSocket. SSO-ready. On-premises deployment available. Built to pass enterprise IT security review 

Up to 5 participants per session

Multiple experts can support a case simultaneously, each joining in their own language. For larger collaborative sessions, frontline.io Immersive Room supports 50 or more participants. 

AR remote assistance connecting field technicians with office experts

Cross-platform. Cross-reality, Cross-use case

frontline.io is a unified cross-platform, cross-reality, and cross-use-case system for complex equipment. The same Digital Twin and the same workflows run across smartphones, PC, Microsoft HoloLens 2, HMS SiNGRAY G2, and supported AR and VR headsets. No rebuilding for each device. 

Cross-platform

One session. Any device. Smartphones, tablets, PCs, web browsers, and enterprise AR headsets all connect to the same call, regardless of the field user’s hardware.  

Real results. Real machines. Real industries
