Fortune 500 factories were flying engineers across the country for every breakdown. We gave their technicians Google Glass — and eliminated it entirely.
When a critical machine fails on a Fortune 500 factory floor, a specialist flies in. The round-trip alone costs $8,000–$15,000 before a single bolt is turned. For Semilynx's enterprise clients, this was happening multiple times per month across dozens of facilities.
Every hour of downtime cost significantly more than the travel itself. The real stakes: competitive manufacturing lines that couldn't afford to wait 24 hours for a specialist to land.
Google Glass Enterprise development requires deep specialisation — most agencies had never touched the platform. OnPoint's AR engineering team had existing production experience and proposed a working prototype architecture on day one.
"Every other vendor quoted 6 months. OnPoint committed to MVP in 38 days — and delivered it in 36."

Sub-200ms WebRTC streaming from Google Glass to a remote expert console. Experts draw annotations directly onto the technician's field of view in real time.
Web-based dashboard for remote specialists — live video feed, two-way audio, annotation tools, session recording, and machine diagnostic data overlay.
Azure IoT integration pulls live machine sensor data into the session — temperature, pressure, error codes — displayed as an AR overlay on the Glass screen.
Achieving sub-200ms WebRTC latency from Google Glass — operating on patchy industrial WiFi — to a remote expert console. Factory environments are RF-hostile: metal structures, competing machinery, and variable signal strength. We built a custom adaptive bitrate algorithm and connection resilience layer that maintains session continuity even through 2-second signal drops.
"Our engineers were flying across the country for every factory breakdown. OnPoint's Google Glass solution eliminated that entirely — and cut downtime by 60%. Remarkable execution."
