What we are building

Kognitiv Spark is shaping the future of how humans interact with technology in work environments.

RemoteSpark gives workers a hands-free, secure connection to the knowledge they need—whether that’s accessing digital assets like schematics and procedures, or connecting in real time with remote experts.


Additionally, RemoteSpark equips workers with the power to establish a low-bandwidth, secure video and audio call with subject experts should real-time extra assistance be required. This eliminates geographical boundaries and provides on-demand virtual troubleshooting resulting in increased productivity and safety, as well as reduced downtime and time to competency.
