CBT, a domain expert integrator focused on IT/OT convergence, was selected by Milwaukee Tool, a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries, along with Ryobi, Empire, Imperial Blades, RIDGID, HART, Hoover, Oreck, and Dirt Devil to expand its sales training to incorporate augmented reality (AR) visualization into their existing training application. The project covered two critical training scenarios.
Milwaukee Tool’s goal was to transform its training procedures from in-person expert instruction to interactive and self-guided using AR. CBT worked with Milwaukee Tool to build interactive AR visualizations of plumbing and HVAC systems. CBT’s engineering experts integrated the training onto Milwaukee Tool’s digital learning platform, SparkLearn. This eliminated the need to fly experts to a specific training location, resulting in cost savings for the company and better, more timely access to training for employees and the ability to learn at their own pace.
