We advance the production industry — for internal stakeholders, executives, and your workforce

  • Onboard and upskill employees with ease

    TeamViewer Frontline’s xMake solution places dynamic instructions into an employee’s field of vision with smart glasses or displays them on mobile devices. New starters will receive direct information while working on tasks, guiding them to become familiar with different manufacturing processes. Create a supportive internal infrastructure and an independent, hands-on learning process.

  • Complete access with always-on production

    With TeamViewer Tensor, access and management of devices across the manufacturing business is comprehensive and independent of location and time. Including unattended, headless, and inaccessible devices, IT support can gain access and control to any endpoint in an instant.

  • Ensuring fewer errors

    Combining TeamViewer Frontline’s manufacturing solution with cameras and sensors integrated into smart glasses or mobile devices guarantees quality assurance integrated from the beginning of the manufacturing process. If an error occurs, the just-in-time expertise (JITE) remote support feature reduces downtime by providing expert support whenever and wherever needed.

Smooth onboarding and upskilling processes

When new frontline employees have to leaf through workplace manuals or find a supervisor each time they have a query, it’s frustrating for them — and wasteful for your business. Continued skills shortages across the manufacturing sector strengthen the business case for making your recruitment and onboarding process as efficient as possible. 

TeamViewer Frontline's guided hands-free support tools enable faster onboarding, as well as help existing employees get easily familiar with new assembly workflows.

Supporting Factory 4.0

Digital transformation across the manufacturing sector is an ongoing process. The addition of new robotics elements, ambient sensors, performance monitoring tools, and servers to support them — all add up to an increasingly complex tech stack to manage and maintain. 

Comprehensive remote access and control capabilities should make it easier to maintain, update, and configure all endpoints from a distance, thereby reducing the need for IT callouts while minimizing operational downtime.

Ensuring production quality

Product recalls and rectification translate directly into lost revenue. When it comes to quality, the expectations of internal stakeholders, retail partners, and customers are as demanding as ever — accompanied by pressure to keep costs as low as possible.  

TeamViewer Frontline solutions enable you to enact the highest levels of quality assurance, including the ability to visualize each step in the assembly process, leverage integrated documentation and quality assurance steps, and to guide frontline employees to ensure processes remain strictly on spec.

Staying on schedule

Supply chain disruption looks set to be a continuing feature of the manufacturing landscape. Issues include fluctuating exchange rates and costs, labor shortages, interruptions in the movement of input materials, as well as shifts in customer demand. 

TeamViewer solutions help you to connect with any device or individual across your supply chain in real time, to visualize potential bottlenecks, quickly put in place workarounds, and adjust timings and costings where needed.

Enabling remote work

For a wide range of manufacturing roles including product development, customer support, finance professionals, and executives, remote or hybrid working models are an attractive option. However, if productivity levels are to be maintained, remote employees need access to the same assets they would ordinarily use in the office — wherever they happen to be. 

Comprehensive and secure remote desktop and remote control capabilities should allow you to access key software platforms, files, and equipment from anywhere.

Maintaining your security stance

Manufacturing remains a prime target for cyber threat actors motivated by financial gain, commercial disruption, or both. Businesses should ensure that remote access sessions, communications, and data transfer between people and devices across the supply chain do not increase the likelihood of cyber attacks or data breaches. 

Access controls, authentication measures, and enterprise-grade encryption are all essential to maintaining your security stance.

At TeamViewer, our mission is to help you help others.

Minimized machinery downtime, efficient transfer of design blueprints, and a more connected global production chain — these are the tangible benefits manufacturers gain through TeamViewer's platform.
