Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April 4, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at how new developments in AI, IoT and the digital tech sector are now being deployed in seemingly “old-school” industries such as oil and gas and mining.
As technology progresses forward at a break-neck pace, older and more established industry sectors such as oil and gas, or mining and manufacturing are beginning to realize that utilizing these new technologies is the only way to embrace the future. BI Intelligence predicts that global manufacturers will invest $70 Billion on IoT solutions in 2020, up from $29 Billion spent in 2015.

Originally developed to support field workers and maintainers in mCloud’s Smart Buildings and Wind segments, the Company expects to deliver similar capabilities within its recently announced entry into Oil and Gas through its newly-signed three-year global licensing agreement for AssetCare solutions with Fulcrum Automation Technologies (“Fulcrum”). In the oil and gas industry, mCloud estimates there are over 1.4 million field workers operating over 500,000 assets across North America whose roles would benefit from the enhanced productivity and efficiency that would come with hands-free access to AssetCare in the field.
Delivered on smart glasses, mCloud’s AssetCare platform enables workers in the field to get access to the right information at the right time combining the features of an AI-powered digital assistant with advanced 3D and mixed reality. Real-time digital work instructions enable workers to get guidance and verification as they work through complex procedures, ensuring they get jobs done right the first time. Smart work order management capabilities ensure workers focus on those field assets in most urgent need of attention.
In addition, remote assistance, provided through mCloud’s strategic arrangement with Agnity Global enables workers in the field to virtually collaborate with experts in the corporate back-office through a secure, enterprise-grade video and audio link.
“Our ability to deliver AssetCare on hands-free smart glasses lets us dramatically improve the productivity and efficiency of field workers everywhere,” said Dr. Barry Po, mCloud’s Chief Product Officer. “All across the oil and gas value chain, there are opportunities for us to enhance the way decisions are made in the field.”
