Augmented Reality (AR)

AR at a Glance

Augmented Reality (AR) is way of projecting digital information in the real-world. It also allows users to interact in real time with the information presented.

Today, to remain competitive, you need to be more receptive to your employees’ needs and buyers’ expectations.

Your product portfolio probably comes with a wide range of machines in different options and variants. Let’s not forget the products which are custom built.

Now imagine there is a production stop. Will you be able to send a technician right away? Despite geographical distances, does the technician have the know-how to disassemble, identify parts and later reassemble the machine?

What You Should Know

AR provides easily accessible work instructions by enhancing the physical world with critical digital information.

This information can be a 3D representation of a physical object people interact with, but also sensor data, step-by-step instructions, hazard warnings and much more.

The idea behind an AR application is to deliver the right information at the right time and location, when users need it the most.

Service For AR

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR SERVICES

In After-sales, AR applications help manufacturers deliver first class service offerings. They empower service crews and/or customers to efficiently resolve unwanted situations. Costs and time to physically travel on-site will often be spared.

AR technology also provides a compelling alternative to traditionally printed service documents. Manuals are often outdated, cumbersome to use and expensive to maintain. Discover AR solutions for Services now!

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR MANUFACTURING

Safety is always an issue on the shop floor. Suppose now that a production lines needs to be readjusted and parts replaced. How can you efficiently check that all parts have been replaced and that the line is ready to start?

With the right AR applications, inexperienced co-workers are quickly ready to start, avoiding hazards and knowledge gaps.

In manufacturing, AR enables workers can for example view a piece of equipment and see its running temperature. AR can also assist him to check parts are is still in good condition or safe to replace.

AR For Engineering

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR ENGINEERING

Augmented Reality contributes to redefine work processes in engineering. But is it really effective?

Machine manufacturers are increasingly starting to integrate AR into their work processes. In order to be successful, engineers themselves must define in which way AR can support them in a meaningful way.

AR can generate concrete information about design, component parts, and machinery and save a significant amount of time. Also, AR can be applied to 3D designs showing various configurations to view the product as one would in real life.

AR For Training

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR TRAINING

Today, with a large percentage of the workforce nearing retirement, knowledge transfer is a key concern. AR has the potential to revolutionize the training industry completely. There are countless use cases for the application of this technology.

AR trainings allow trainees to move into practice quicker in a safe way. They can even use smartphones or tablets, which means you do not necessarily need to invest into a headset.

AR projects holograms into the real environment. Participants can move around the machine and view it from all sides. They can interact with the AR application and explore hidden parts, open additional information panes and much more.

AR For Sales & Marketing

AUGMENTED REALITY FOR SALES AND MARKETING

You need to launch a new product range and the product does not yet exist? You offer built-to-order products that make sales cycles lengthy and complicated?
