How AR guides the operator on the real equipment
HoloLens 2 overlays information directly onto the machine. The operator doesn't search for the right sheet in a binder, or look away from the equipment to check a tablet. Each step of the checklist appears in the right place, in the right order.
Step-by-step guidance reduces sequencing errors — the leading cause of error in preventive maintenance. The operator validates each action by gesture or voice. The history is logged automatically in the connected CMMS.
For interventions on complex equipment — turbines, high-voltage electrical cabinets, industrial cooling systems — AR overlays the 3D CAD model onto the physical part. The operator locates the part to replace without ambiguity, even when working on this machine model for the first time.
Myxed clients see a 40 to 75% reduction in field errors within the first months of deployment. For a site of 200 people, this represents €300,000 to €800,000 in annual savings on non-conformities and unplanned downtime.
Reference hardware
HoloLens 2
Microsoft — industrial AR headset. Hands-free, holographic field of view, PPE-compatible. Standard production environments.
Agnostic by design — the solution can migrate to another device without an application rebuild.
Reducing training time for new technicians
Knowledge transfer is the primary challenge in industrial maintenance. An experienced technician cannot shadow every new hire on the floor. Paper documentation doesn't transmit the gesture.
Augmented reality encodes the senior technician's expertise into an application that scales. The new technician follows the validated procedure, annotated by the expert, on the real machine. They repeat the gesture until mastery, without risk to production.
Myxed has measured a 60% reduction in time to proficiency among its industrial clients. A technician who previously needed six weeks of mentoring reaches operational level in two weeks with a dedicated AR application.
This gain isn't tied to a specific sector. Myxed has deployed this type of solution for aerospace, energy and defense players — Air France, GRTgaz, KNDS.
Preventive inspection and traceability of interventions
Preventive maintenance produces as much data as it consumes. Sensor readings, alert thresholds, intervention histories: this data often stays in systems disconnected from the floor.
Myxed's AR solution anchors this data to the object it describes. The operator sees the equipment's history, last week's recorded vibration threshold, the CMMS alert — overlaid directly on the machine, without switching screens.
Inspection data flows in real time to existing business tools (SAP, Maximo, Coswin). Integration doesn't require replacing the IT system in place. Myxed builds custom connectors, adapted to each client's architecture.
Traceability becomes automatic. Every validated step, every reported anomaly, every intervention duration — logged without manual entry. The maintenance manager has a complete view, usable for regulatory reporting and analysis of recurring failures.

Why Myxed for your preventive maintenance
Not a headset reseller, not a generic platform integrator. The team designs custom applications, built around the maintenance use case specific to your site.
The solution adapts to your infrastructure — HoloLens 2, AR tablet or mobile device depending on field constraints. The existing IT system (CMMS, ERP, IoT) integrates without a rebuild.
Scope → Prototype → Build → Deploy. The feasibility audit identifies high-stakes procedures within two weeks. The functional prototype tests guidance on the real machine before any full development.
Air France, Airbus, Valeo, KNDS, GRTgaz — complex, constrained environments where reliability comes first. Myxed has deployed in these contexts and measures the results.
Every Myxed project ships with measurable performance indicators: error rate, intervention duration, time to proficiency. Return on investment achievable within 6 to 12 months.
