Smart glasses for facility maintenance teams

One maintenance tech, four buildings, six hundred assets, and the person who knew where everything was retired in March.

In-house facilities teams have a different problem from contractors: not enough people covering too many assets, and decades of undocumented institutional knowledge walking out the door. R-Glass is a capture device for exactly that.

What it does on the job

Four things your facilities crew stops doing one-handed.

01

Standardise rounds

The same checklist, prompted by voice, performed the same way by whoever is on shift — with a timestamped record that it actually happened.

02

Build the asset record you never had

Every visit to a piece of equipment adds photos, readings and notes to its history. The record builds itself out of work you were doing anyway.

03

Capture what the retiring tech knows

Record the person who has run the building for thirty years walking the plant and explaining it. That footage is worth more than any manual.

04

Support a lean night shift

One person on nights can reach a supervisor at home who can see the problem, instead of guessing or waiting until morning.

The hardware

One device, $349, no licence per seat.

The same RG-1 goes to every trade. What changes is the software configuration, which we set up for facilities work before the units reach you.

Facilities questions

Answers before you ask for them.

How does this work with a union workforce?

Recording policy is the thing to settle first, and it should be settled with your people rather than announced to them. The device records only when explicitly activated, and we will help you write a policy during the pilot.

Can we host everything ourselves?

Yes. The stack is open source and MIT licensed, so a facilities organisation with a security policy against third-party cloud can run it on its own infrastructure.

What is the minimum order?

There is no minimum. Pilots usually run two to five units so a team can try it on real work before committing.

Next step

Try it on one facilities crew.

Two to five units, set up for facilities work, on your real jobs for a month. No payment and no commitment — if it does not earn its place on the truck, tell us and we stop.
