Leveraging augmented reality (AR) technology, Taqtile’s Manifest software improves operational workflows so that jobs get done more accurately and consistently. Deskless workers can document maintenance and operational procedures, follow step-by-step work instructions, remotely collaborate with experts, and analyze job performance and history.
“Taqtile’s global business opportunity is immense and likely unprecedented,” said Olson. “The digitization of the work performed by deskless workers, which is exactly what the Taqtile platform supports, will have a profound impact on nearly every industry.”
Taqtile’s Manifest software platform is currently being used by industrial workers around the world at organizations like the U.S. Army, Raytheon, PBC Linear, and Nokia.
“Modernization isn’t only about helicopters and drones and the capital platforms. The Army Application Laboratory is excited to continue work with Taqtile on a solution that will actually improve soldiers’ experiences in their routine work. Taqtile’s Manifest platform is a state-of-the-art upgrade to the way soldiers perform preventative maintenance on their vehicles that will save time and money while improving readiness,” said Thomas Mead, Project Manager, Army Application Laboratory.
