A step forward in the digital transformation of Medgaz

Medgaz is an underwater natural gas pipeline between Algeria and Spain, with more than 700 kilometers in length that, by its very nature, requires constant maintenance, supervision and validation of all steps and technical interventions by experts. But it is not always easy for the expert to be in the field.

To respond to this need, Ikusi has carried out a project for Medgaz in which, through collaboration software on a device that is used as glasses with a front camera attached to the head or helmet, videoconferences can be held at the same time as Images, videos and documents are shared for remote experts to guide, support or supervise field work. All operations are fully voice controlled, allowing operators to have their hands free for the tasks at hand, while sharing their field of vision and voice with remote experts. This solution is based on Cisco Expert On Demand collaboration software, on the Realwear HMT-1Z1 device.

This new practice applicable to multiple environments such as warehouses, industrial production chains, stores / branches of all types of companies (textile, restaurants, banking, etc.) offers multiple benefits such as increased productivity, improved processes and uptime, cost savings and regulatory compliance.
