Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to real-time proximity-based contextual information for an industrial asset. In this regard, a request to establish a remote collaboration environment associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment is received. The request includes an asset identifier provided by a mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset. The request also includes location data associated with the industrial asset. In response to the request, contextual data for an industrial task associated with the industrial asset is determined based on the asset identifier and the location data. Furthermore, one or more interactive media elements associated with the industrial task is generated based on the contextual data. The one or more interactive media elements are communicated via the remote collaboration environment.
