VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 22, 2020 /CNW/ - mCloud Technologies Corp. (TSXV: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF) ("mCloud" or the "Company"), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence ("AI"), today announced the delivery of new AssetCare™ capabilities geared toward oil and gas, wind, and nuclear customers in China through its Connected Worker mobile smart glasses offering. These new capabilities are a direct result of the Company's acquisition of kanepi Group Pty Ltd. ("kanepi") and are driving new local demand for AssetCare solutions in these industries.
In collaboration with partners, including head mounted display provider RealWear, Inc. ("RealWear"), the Company expects to roll out these new capabilities to 1,000 workers by the end of the year. Heading into 2021, mCloud plans to target over 20,000 connected workers in China already equipped with mobile smart glasses.
"Connected workers are a part of mCloud's roadmap, which complements our targeted 70,000 assets by the end of the year," said Russ McMeekin, mCloud President and CEO. "We possess a crucial competitive advantage as the only provider in-market that brings all these new capabilities together into a single integrated offering for customers in these industries."
AssetCare for Connected Workers is a mobile AI-powered digital assistant, delivered to workers in the field on RealWear head mounted displays. mCloud leveraged existing kanepi technology to add to the remote expert capabilities already provided by AssetCare to provide enhanced workflow support and management of operator rounds in the field.
New capabilities assist connected workers to:
- Locate and navigate to assets using GPS
- Scan QR codes on connected assets to access relevant documentation
- Remotely review "Permit to Work" and digitally approve equipment bypasses
