IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — April 8,2026 — EON Reality, together with EON AI Ventures, today announced the launch of EON Field IQ, a breakthrough solution designed to address one of the most critical challenges facing enterprises: the loss of decades of operational expertise as experienced workers retire. By combining AI-powered knowledge capture with real-time delivery through advanced wearable technologies, EON Field IQ ensures that critical expertise is preserved, transferred, and applied directly in the field.

The platform enables organizations to maintain operational continuity, improve compliance, and reduce safety risks in high-stakes industries by transforming expert knowledge into actionable, real-time guidance for the next generation workforce. Further details on the platform capabilities, deployment model, and industry impact are available on the dedicated landing page and in the accompanying white paper, EON Field IQ Bridges the Retirement Kowledge Gap.

The Crisis We Solve

THE WHY: The Knowledge Gap Crisis

Across industries such as oil & gas, aviation, and energy infrastructure, enterprises are witnessing an unprecedented workforce transition. With 73 million Baby Boomers retiring by 2030, businesses are grappling with how to protect the 30-40 years of operational knowledge carried by each retiring expert. Valued at an estimated $47 trillion globally, this irreplaceable expertise is often undocumented, resulting in a growing knowledge gap that poses significant risks to operational efficiency, compliance, and safety. Procedural errors, compliance violations, and safety incidents are already on the rise, creating immediate challenges for businesses to address.

Take, for example, a veteran field technician with 35 years of unmatched skill. When such expertise is lost, enterprises face longer onboarding cycles for new hires, escalated costs due to procedural mistakes, and operational slowdowns, all of which chip away at their ability to stay competitive. Compounding this issue is the rising complexity of modern infrastructures, which amplify the consequences of even minor errors.

The Challenge

While traditional training methods attempt to mitigate this gap, they are both slow and insufficient. These methods fail to capture the depth and nuance of decades-long experience or to provide real-time guidance for high-stakes operations. With this in mind, enterprises need a solution not just for knowledge preservation, but one that can reliably guide workers to perform with precision in real-world scenarios—transforming a potential crisis into an opportunity to create the AI-empowered workforce of the future.

THE WHAT: EON Field IQ

EON Field IQ is the transformative answer to the industry-wide challenge of expert scarcity. It acts as a bridge between retiring experts and the workforce, ensuring that critical knowledge is not just preserved but actively delivered in real-time when and where it is needed. This is achieved through an innovative, three-step process:

1. Capture the Expert: Utilizing EON Genesis, the system facilitates AI-powered sessions to capture operational knowledge, from unwritten shortcuts to intricate technical procedures. This forms a digital brain, preserving 35+ years of experience in a structured format.
2. Deliver Knowledge Through AI Glasses: Workers equipped with AI glasses powered by EON Field IQ gain access to real-time guided assistance that superimposes step-by-step instructions onto their field of view. Whether they’re in a manufacturing plant or a remote field operation, workers receive actionable guidance hands-free, enabling them to replicate the expertise of veterans without direct supervision.
3. Verify and Comply: To meet regulatory requirements and ensure task accuracy, EON Assess IQ verifies each procedural step via a camera embedded in the glasses. This real-time verification creates an audit trail, ensuring compliance while eliminating the need for constant supervisor oversight.

Key Features

AI-powered Knowledge Capture

• EON Genesis transforms an expert’s unwritten knowledge into a structured, step-by-step library.
• Captures 30–40 years of expertise, including edge cases and situational nuances.

Real-time, Hands-free Guidance

• AI glasses assist workers by overlaying actionable instructions tailored to their immediate context.
• Functions even in offline, remote locations, ensuring seamless operations anywhere in the field.

Compliance Verification with Audit Trail

• Every step executed by workers is verified in real time, with compliance records automatically generated.
• Minimizes the risk of procedural errors, regulatory fines, and costly incidents.

Scalable Deployment

• Works across industries where the stakes are highest—such as oil & gas, aviation, and energy—with the capacity to scale to enterprises with thousands of workers.

IMPLEMENTATION

Enterprises can deploy EON Field IQ quickly and at scale. The system integrates seamlessly into existing workflows while leveraging the validated hardware ecosystem of AI smartglasses, of which 7.3 million units shipped in 2025, with 13.4 million projected by 2026. At a price point of just $799 per device, this technology achieves the perfect balance between affordability and life-saving operational enhancement.

“The expertise of a seasoned professional shouldn’t walk out the door with their retirement. With EON Field IQ, we’re ensuring that 35 years of knowledge doesn’t vanish—it evolves. By capturing and delivering critical expertise in real-time, we empower organizations to adapt, compete, and thrive in the AI era.” — stated Dan Lejerskar, Chairman at EON Reality

EON Field IQ brings the vision of a Human 2.0 workforce to life by bridging the gap between legacy expertise and the next generation of workers. It is not merely a tool but an Expert Scarcity Solution that turns industrial vulnerabilities into opportunities for transformation. The future of workforce capability is here, and it begins with EON Field IQ.
