Augmented Reality in Manufacturing Will Revolutionize The Industry

You Can Work Faster

Usually, it can be a hassle for fighter jet engineers to assemble an aircraft because it would take years of training to do so. But with the aid of AR glasses that use depth sensors, cameras, and motion sensors that overlay images into real world during work, engineers are able to see renderings of bolts, cables, part numbers and instructions on how to assemble a specific component.

With this method, the accuracy of engineers can go up to 96% and they are able to work 30% faster.

You Can Access Data Easily

Service engineers and manufacturers can go up to any item that comes with IoT technology and identify any object to help you get any information from a company’s back-end enterprise resource planning system. With that, they will have access to the object’s specs, location, inventory, and lead times.

Your team can use an AR-enabled mobile app to scan QR codes to view live video feed, graphics, images, and use it to repair machines.

You Can Reduce Production Downtime

If your manufacturing firm faces a production downtime due to your machines breaking down, it could cost your organization hundreds of thousands of dollars. But with the help of augmented reality devices, your team can hurriedly identify the flaw and prevent the downtime from ever occurring.

By having AR apps on your mobile devices, your team is able to visually identify the problem on the shop floor and resolve it there and then.
