Maintenance Workflow

Step-by-step work instructions in the technician's field of view

Paper checklists get skipped under time pressure, filled in after the fact, or simply left behind. There's no enforcement mechanism, no record of when each step happened, and no way for an expert to intervene if something goes wrong mid-procedure.

ContinuumAR delivers structured maintenance procedures directly to the AR headset. Steps appear one at a time, are confirmed by voice, and are logged against the ticket as they happen. Critical steps can be locked so the job can't proceed until they're completed. If the technician hits something they're not sure about, the remote expert is a voice command away.

The actual problem

Paper procedures leave too much to the individual

The steps exist. They're written down somewhere. The problem is that when someone is under time pressure — or doing a job they've done fifty times before — those steps become a formality rather than a guide. They get glossed over, reordered, or ticked off after the fact without anyone checking.

There's no record of when each step was done or by whom. If something goes wrong later, there's no way to know what actually happened versus what the checklist says happened. And if the technician reaches an unfamiliar step or an unexpected finding, the only option is a phone call that interrupts the flow of the whole job.

This isn't a training problem. It's a tooling problem. The procedures are fine. The format they're delivered in makes them easy to skip.

How it works

What happens when a checklist runs in ContinuumAR

On the headset

The technician opens the job ticket on their RealWear or Six15 headset. The assigned checklist starts — steps appear one at a time in the display, and the next step only appears once the current one is confirmed by voice. Critical steps can be locked so the job physically cannot proceed until they're completed.

If they reach a step they're not sure about, they can call the remote expert without leaving the ticket. The expert joins the live video feed, annotates what they see, and can edit checklist responses from the ticket detail page if needed.

On the admin or expert side

Checklists are built through the web interface — steps, classification, mandatory completion rules, and conditional logic (if step 3 is "no", a different remediation path follows). They're assigned to tickets before the technician arrives, or added during a call if the fault type becomes clear mid-session.

Every completed checklist generates a timestamped status history. All responses, any edits, and by whom — attached to the ticket, exportable to CSV, printable as a PDF. It's a genuine audit record rather than a self-reported one.

Checklist types

What you can configure

Checklists are classified by purpose, so the right procedure gets attached to the right kind of job.

Pre-Verification

Pre-work checks

Isolation, permits, and access conditions confirmed before any maintenance begins.

Safety

Safety compliance

Lock-out tag-out, hazard assessments, PPE confirmation — built into the job flow rather than handled separately.

Diagnostic

Fault diagnosis

Structured troubleshooting that narrows the cause methodically before any intervention.

Maintenance

Scheduled procedures

Step-by-step instructions for planned maintenance — consistent across every technician, every time.

Quality

Post-work verification

Confirm the work met standard before the equipment goes back into service.

Custom

Equipment-specific

Built around your equipment naming, your operational requirements, your terminology.

Questions we get asked

Who builds and edits the checklists?+
Admin or expert users build and edit checklists through the web interface — step ordering, mandatory completion rules, classification type, conditional triggers. The technician on the headset sees only the resulting step sequence.
Can a checklist be assigned during a call rather than before?+
Yes. Checklists can be assigned to a ticket before the technician arrives or added by the expert during a live call — useful when the fault type becomes clear mid-session and a specific diagnostic procedure needs to follow.
What if the technician can't complete a step?+
They can call the remote expert directly from within the ticket — a voice command initiates the call. The expert joins the live headset feed, can annotate what they see, and can edit checklist responses from the ticket detail page if the step requires remote judgment.
Is the completed checklist useful for compliance?+
Yes. Each completed checklist has a timestamped status history — when each step was confirmed, any edits made and by whom. Tickets can be exported to CSV or printed as a PDF. It's a documented, sequential record rather than a self-attested one.
Can the same checklist be used across multiple sites?+
Yes. Multi-domain administration means checklists can be managed centrally and applied across multiple operational sites from one admin account.
