THE CHALLENGE:
Established in 1996, BioVerda Power Systems operate gas and diesel engines across nine sites nationwide. BioVerda were looking for solutions that would enable them to maintain the operations of their Galway based site, without the need for full-time engineers. With their main office located in Dublin, it was critical they maintain their high-safety and maintenance standards while reducing the time required on site.
THE SOLUTION:
1 - Training
Dealing with complex machinery, training at BioVerda is highly important. Using Augmented Reality, they reduced training process times and ensured learning outcomes continued after the training period. UtilityAR Solutions now allow more experienced members of the BioVerda team to communicate their knowledge and problem-solving skills to less experienced workers from any location.

2 - Remote Adviser
BioVerda’s Galway site is a considerable distance from their head office in Dublin. When the site encounters issues, an engineer must visit the site, causing significant downtime and a backlog of work. UtilityAR’s ‘Remote Adviser’ is providing Augmented Reality solutions, allowing an expert engineer to communicate with the on-site operators, reducing downtime and fixing the problem sooner for BioVerda.

“In BioVerda, we know Augmented Reality will be helpful to our business. It will help
us to improve our uptime, improve our training, and improve our response to
unscheduled outages. We also believe that it will improve the maintenance on our remote sites.”
- Donal O'Cinneide, BioVerda Power Systems.
