Iconics says that the interface makes it easy and intuitive to issue voice commands in a choice of languages. “Digital assistants may be commonplace in homes around the world,” says the company’s president and CEO, Russ Agrusa, “but we are only just starting to see them emerge in the workplace. Iconics’ new VMI technology enables our customers to bring the benefits of those assistants to their plant, facility, office, or even with them on the go to explore their data in new ways they never thought possible.”
The interface integrates with popular voice assistant technologies, such as those from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Through Iconics’ Workbench software, users can create “skills” that work via these developers’ cloud services and voice interactivity technologies, including Amazon Web Services for Alexa, LUIS.AI for Microsoft Skype/Teams/Cortana, and Google Actions for Google Home/Assistant.
