AR remote support
Smart Remote Support

Options include:
Mobile Augmented Reality (AR) Support
Virtually transport one of our engineers into your lab in as little as 20 seconds, which may reduce average instrument downtime from days to minutes.
Desktop Remote Support
When challenges require a deeper dive, we offer full system support with instrument and computer troubleshooting. Using IT-friendly remote support access, our engineers can navigate your desktop to better understand and address your computer or software related questions.
