in March 2021, the German remote connectivity software company TeamViewer reprrted having acquired Upskill, a U.S. company specialising in augmented reality applications for front-line workers. In receipt of a single SBIR Award - an Army Phase I shortly after Upskill was founded, provides wearable technology to connect hands-on workers to the information, equipment, processes and people they need to do their jobs with greater efficiency and less errors. Former dba APX Labs , with facilities in the Washington DC area and Austin, TX , the firm's software platform - designated Skylight - powers smart glasses and other wearable devices designed to connect the industrial workforce with the people, processes, information, and equipment they need to do their jobs with greater efficiency and fewer errors, leaving them hands free to focus on their tasks at hand. Workers can look up product schematics, step through complex workflows, engage experts or supervisors from wherever they are in the factory or 1000 miles away, monitor data from nearby equipment, and record their best-practices to share with colleagues. Improvements in these processes increase the value each worker adds to the business without disrupting their routine or requiring burdensome training.
