Design Interactive and DiSTI Partner To Enhance Augmented and Virtual Reality Experience for Maintenance Technicians


https://www.prweb.com/

Design Interactive Inc (DII) develops and deploys augmented, virtual and mixed reality training and enterprise solutions for maintenance technicians

Together we can use our technology to enable subject matter experts to author and distribute training content without complicated computer models or software development.

Design Interactive Inc, a family owned and operated provider of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) training solutions for fleet maintenance personnel, vendors and OEMs, today announced a partnership with DiSTI, a leading provider of virtual maintenance training solutions. This partnership allows for the creation and distribution of desktop, augmented and virtual reality training from one source.

“Our combined solutions have the capability to transform training across a range of industries,” said Matt Johnston, division head, Commercial Solutions at Design Interactive. “Together we can use our technology to enable subject matter experts to author and distribute training content without complicated computer models or software development. The bottom line is that you can go to one place to create training and then deploy it to any type of viewing hardware, be it desktop, tablet, HoloLens or VR headsets and you don’t have to choose between AR and VR, you can get them both in one shot.”

The combination of Design Interactive’s AUGMENTOR training technology and DiSTI’s VE Studio eliminates the challenge many AR/VR technology adopters face, Johnston noted. “They are not sure if desktop, Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality or some combination is the right technology mix for their company’s training needs so they put off making a decision,” he explained. “With this partnership, it doesn’t matter. The content can be created and then distributed in either AR or VR or even using DiSTI’s desktop solution so there is much less risk to technology adoption.”

The partnership between the two companies builds on a collaboration that originated a contract award for the US Air Force. Design Interactive’s AUGMENTOR augmented reality training technology integrated with the DiSTI VE Studio for Unity Virtual Training to create a highly advanced and interactive training platform where training creation and content distribution happens in one place.

AUGMENTOR from Design Interactive also features a web portal for creating, editing and distributing training modules to Android and iOS mobile devices and HoloLens headsets. With immediate access to updated content, the solution can be deployed quickly and effectively across multiple locations.

ThoughtWire and Schneider Electric announce strategic partnership and new joint offering for healthcare facilities


https://www.prweb.com/

ThoughtWire partners with Schneider Electric

“ThoughtWire’s market proven capabilities have helped hospitals achieve better efficiency, higher patient satisfaction, and cost reduction,” said Mike Sullivan, Building Segments President, Schneider Electric.

Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, and ThoughtWire, a leading provider of Digital Twins for the built environment, today announced a strategic partnership to create smarter digital hospitals that operate seamlessly. The partnership means healthcare customers can take advantage of the connected hospital and achieve their digital strategy objectives faster by leveraging ThoughtWire and Schneider Electric’s suite of solutions.

This new partnership addresses some of the biggest roadblocks to becoming a truly patient-centric digital hospital. Today, healthcare facilities are operated in silos with fragmented information available from a variety of different systems. There is very little connectivity between facilities management and clinical operations, yet patients and clinicians increasingly require a more seamless experience in the hospital environment.

“We’ve been working with our customers in healthcare for the past 10 years to orchestrate data from across critical clinical systems, OT systems, IoT devices, to build a real-time Digital Twin that makes it easier for clinicians to have full visibility into patient needs and the entire hospital workflow,” said Mike Monteith, CEO, ThoughtWire. “More recently, we’ve seen a need to connect aspects of building infrastructure like energy and environmental data to provide these insights about the care environment back to facilities teams.”

Partnering with ThoughtWire allows Schneider Electric healthcare facilities customers to benefit from the connected hospital environment, where facilities management and clinical workflow operations are orchestrated seamlessly and each group has the visibility they need to deliver the best outcomes for patients and staff. ThoughtWire’s Digital Twin enables Schneider Electric to improve patient outcomes with a data model of a hospital’s building systems, clinical and IT systems, IoT devices, workflows and people.

“We’re excited to be working with Schneider Electric on bringing these joint solutions to the healthcare market,” said Franco Castaldini, Chief Commercial Officer, ThoughtWire. “This partnership represents an unmatched offering in terms of breadth and depth, providing the most comprehensive set of capabilities to create truly Digital Hospitals.”

“ThoughtWire’s market proven capabilities have helped hospitals achieve better efficiency, higher patient satisfaction, and cost reduction,” said Mike Sullivan, Building Segments President, Schneider Electric. “This partnership will further help Schneider Electric’s customers transform their hospitals and improve the lives of patients, clinicians, and staff.”

“ThoughtWire’s digital twin helps makes sense of data, driving greater insights and allowing us to create smarter buildings,” said Rebecca Boll, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Strategy, Schneider Electric.

About Schneider Electric

At Schneider Electric, we believe access to energy and digital is a basic human right. We empower all to make the most of their energy and resources, ensuring Life Is On everywhere, for everyone, at every moment. We provide energy and automation digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability. We combine world-leading energy technologies, real-time automation, software and services into integrated solutions for Homes, Buildings, Data Centers, Infrastructure and Industries.

About ThoughtWire

Our software applications put people first, whether for clinicians, patients, office workers, or first responders, ThoughtWire puts people in control. Powered by Digital Twins, ThoughtWire’s applications for smart hospitals, smart buildings, and smart cities unlock the value of data generated from built environments by combining it with context from people, processes and IoT devices. Since 2009, ThoughtWire has been changing how we think about interconnectivity of smart spaces, beginning with its Ambiant™ platform, developed to interconnect and orchestrate people, data, and things in real-time. http://www.thoughtwire.com
