The technology delivers robust remote collaboration capabilities that enhance safety, efficiency, and resiliency for enterprises

WINNIPEG,
MB – Media OutReach – 17 June 2021 – Librestream, the #1-rated
provider
of the Onsight augmented reality (AR) and remote collaboration solutions, has
expanded its international presence to Japan with the establishment of a Tokyo office
and a local team of staff, supporting its growing customer base in the APAC region.
Since 2019, the Japanese market increasingly adopted Librestream’s Onsight
platform, with user growth expanding over 300% in that timeframe.

As the third-largest economy in the world and fourth-largest in total
exports, continuous workforce improvement via technology and innovation is
critical to maintaining competitive positioning. The Onsight platform is
utilized by a broad swath of industries, including those that account for
Japan’s top
exports: cars and
vehicle parts ($136B), integrated circuits ($30.7B), machinery with individual
functions ($20B), and passenger and cargo ships ($13.7B).

“Japan
is an industrial powerhouse and its economy is diverse and advanced; our Onsight
solution support the multitudinous industries in the region, as well as provide
enhanced local and international service support,” said John Bishop,
Librestream President & CEO. “Onsight also addresses the local demographic
challenges of an aging workforce and shrinking population by capturing
knowledge from experienced workers, delivering just-in-time training, and
enabling companies to remotely manage their industrial assets located anywhere in
the world.”

Addressing
the opportunity and the challenges, Onsight’s core products bring the following
benefits to the Japanese market:

• Onsight Connect remote expert assistance:
  real-time collaborative environment to remotely inspect, troubleshoot, and
  resolve issues in the field; effectively distributing knowledge and accelerating
  decision making with capabilities including live translation to bridge language
  barriers, object recognition, and sensor data integration
• Onsight Flow digital work instructions: transforms
  paper-based processes into digital work instructions that provide step-by-step
  instructions to complete a job, capture data, and add to a knowledge base
• Onsight Workspace centralized knowledge base:

  to complete work safely and efficiently
• Thermal Cube and Onsight Hub:
  unique in the world to support video and thermal data management in all rugged

Japanese market and look forward to working with Librestream to support their
