Canadian company MCloud Technologies is enabling the digital oilfield with an integrated mobile connected worker system comprising all-in-one software and headset ready to deploy out of the box.

MCloud is a provider of AI-powered asset management and environmental, social and governance technology. The all-in-one connected worker system can enable the digital oilfield and enhance the productivity and safety of field workers across the energy industry.

The company showed the AssetCare Mobile in action at the IQPC Oil & Gas Connected Worker Summit in Texas earlier this month.

Delivered in partnership with Moziware, the creator of a pocket-sized, voice-activated, hands-free head-worn display, AssetCare Mobile includes all the hardware, software and support industrial workers need to get straight to work. It is offered on a subscription with plans from $99 per month on 36-month terms.

Connected workers in the field can instantly access critical asset information in real time; communicate and collaborate with experts and other co-workers remotely; share photos and videos of equipment requiring repair; digitise processes and workflows such as operator rounds and field inspections; and work more safely in hazardous environments.

Based on field trials with users in live field settings, MCloud estimates companies can expect to see up to: 30% faster work order and task completion; 98% reduction in back-office turnaround; 96% in jobs completed accurately the first time; and 15% improvement in wrench time.

The software integrates with existing IT, OT and enterprise systems. It also works on any device, including tablets, smartphones and other headsets, enabling organisations to implement it immediately. MCloud also offers future-proofing with select subscriptions, enabling users to receive upgrades to mobile hardware, ensuring access to the latest mobile devices on the market.

“AssetCare Mobile is the only connected worker solution that’s ready for the digital oilfield, giving workers all the tools they need to complete complex tasks in the field efficiently and safely,” said Vincent Higgins, MCloud’s president for oil and gas digitisation. “We are incredibly excited to be first-to-market and already deploying to digital oilfield customers in the USA with the world’s first connected worker solution that brings together all of the capabilities industrial customers are looking for in one convenient package. With our ability to deploy in any industrial field setting and work on any device, including the incredible Moziware Cimo, AssetCare Mobile is the world’s most versatile connected worker solution, bringing people and information together no matter where they are, so your workforce can get every job done right the first time. The future of connected work has arrived.”

Subscriptions include everything a worker needs to be connected and ready to do their jobs, including: Moziware Cimo hands-free headset; 36-month subscription to AssetCare Mobile; headband, hard hat clips and charging cable; video calling capabilities; digital forms for capturing field data; pre-loaded voice-activated apps; and onboarding, training and round-the-clock support.

It has over 100 blue-chip customers and more than 63,000 assets connected in thousands of locations worldwide.
