Driving Sustainability with AI and AR Technologies

Reduce Carbon Footprint and Support ESG Programs

As organizations across industries focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, sustainability and reducing carbon emissions are taking center stage. The challenge is not just setting ambitious goals but achieving them through practical, data-driven solutions. Onsight NOW, a leading AI-powered platform designed for knowledge delivery, operational efficiency, and data capture, is uniquely positioned to help organizations meet their ESG commitments—particularly around sustainability and carbon reduction.

Leveraging AI for Sustainable Operations

One of the most significant ways Onsight NOW supports sustainability goals is through the intelligent use of AI and augmented reality (AR) to optimize operational efficiency. By delivering real-time knowledge to frontline workers, the platform minimizes the need for on-site visits, travel, and redundant operations that contribute to higher carbon output. Here’s how:

• Remote Assistance and Collaboration: Onsight NOW enables remote video collaboration between frontline workers and experts located anywhere in the world. This eliminates the need for experts to travel to a physical location for troubleshooting or inspections, significantly reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation. One customer conducts over 500 remote inspections per day with Librestream technology. By facilitating remote support through advanced video collaboration with AR features, the platform helps companies lower their carbon footprint while ensuring high levels of service and operational continuity.
• Optimizing Maintenance and Reducing Downtime: The AI-driven capabilities of Onsight NOW allow for more efficient maintenance processes by providing workers with instant access to technical documentation, real-time expert support, and step-by-step repair instructions. This reduces equipment downtime and avoids the inefficiencies caused by miscommunication or lack of information. With optimized maintenance cycles, organizations can extend the lifespan of equipment, reducing the need for replacements or energy-intensive manufacturing processes, both of which contribute to carbon emissions.

Data Capture for Monitoring Sustainability Metrics

To effectively manage ESG initiatives, organizations need accurate, real-time data to monitor their progress toward sustainability targets. Onsight NOW’s advanced data capture capabilities ensure that field data is standardized, easy to retrieve, and actionable—whether it’s tracking emissions, energy usage, job statistics, or resource efficiency.

• Tracking Resource Utilization: Onsight NOW enables organizations to capture and document data related to energy and resource consumption in real-time. This capability is critical for industries looking to reduce waste and make data-driven decisions that align with their ESG commitments. By tracking energy use across operations, organizations can identify inefficiencies and optimize processes to reduce overall consumption, thus lowering their carbon output.
• Automating ESG Compliance Reporting: With real-time data collection and analytics, organizations can easily generate reports that track their sustainability metrics and demonstrate compliance with ESG regulations. Automating this process saves time and ensures that accurate data is always available, helping organizations maintain transparency and meet regulatory requirements without added administrative overhead.

Reducing Waste through Knowledge Capture and Efficiency Gains

Onsight NOW enhances knowledge capture, ensuring that the expertise and best practices gathered over time are not lost, even as experienced workers retire or move on. By standardizing the way information is captured and delivered, the platform ensures that newer workers can perform tasks with a high degree of efficiency, reducing the need for repeat work or wasted resources.

• Preserving Institutional Knowledge: Onsight NOW’s ability to capture knowledge during field operations allows organizations to preserve best practices and ensure that workers can access critical information whenever needed. This reduces the likelihood of errors, rework, or resource wastage, all of which can lead to higher carbon emissions.
• Minimizing Physical Documentation and Travel: By digitizing technical manuals, instructions, and operational data, Onsight NOW minimizes the need for printed materials and on-site consultations. This reduces waste, saves paper, and supports remote work—all of which contribute to an organization’s overall sustainability goals.

Empowering Workers with Green Technology

Sustainability isn't just about reducing emissions or waste; it’s also about empowering the workforce with tools that align with green practices. Onsight NOW provides a powerful platform for training and upskilling employees using digital technology. Workers are equipped with the knowledge they need to execute tasks more effectively, all while supporting their company’s ESG goals.

• Training and Upskilling: With access to AI-driven knowledge delivery, workers can be trained on more sustainable practices, from energy conservation techniques to optimizing resource usage. Training can be delivered remotely, further minimizing the need for travel and its associated environmental impact.

Supporting Long-Term Sustainability Goals

Organizations looking to make lasting impacts on their sustainability efforts need the right tools to measure and improve performance continuously. Onsight NOW’s capabilities go beyond immediate efficiencies to support long-term sustainability objectives:

• Continuous Improvement through Data: The platform’s data capture and analysis capabilities enable organizations to identify trends and areas for improvement in their sustainability initiatives. By continuously monitoring operational data, businesses can fine-tune their processes and implement ongoing sustainability improvements, helping them achieve long-term carbon reduction goals.
• Sustainability-Driven Innovation: Through the use of AI and AR, Onsight NOW encourages innovation in operational processes. Organizations can experiment with new, more sustainable methods for completing tasks and monitor the impact of these changes in real-time, helping them become leaders in green technology adoption.
