Problem
Skilled trades organizations lose critical tribal knowledge when experienced technicians retire or leave, resulting in operational inefficiencies and safety risks. Manual documentation of inspections, maintenance procedures, and job hazard analyses consumes significant time that could be spent on actual work, while searching through paper manuals and past records delays troubleshooting and decision-making on the job.
Solution
Carbyn provides AI-enabled safety glasses and a companion software platform that capture frontline work hands-free, turning every shift into searchable SOPs, real-time coaching, and audit-ready records. Technicians press a physical record button, perform their work while the glasses capture video and audio, and talk through the job as they normally would; Carbyn then automatically generates inspection reports, job hazard analyses, and compliance documentation. The system uses voice commands for real-time guidance, pulling answers from a company's own maintenance records rather than generic manuals, and flags anomalies in captured footage through computer vision. All recordings are user-initiated, and the generated work product is filed automatically, eliminating end-of-shift paperwork.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial organizations in logistics, maintenance, construction, and manufacturing, specifically field service teams, line operators, inspectors, and maintenance crews that need to document work, preserve expertise, and comply with safety regulations.
