What is AR?
Augmented Reality is about overlaying contextual information on the real world. It is real-time. An operator’s view of a task being executed is enhanced with digital information and displayed using a mobile device or heads-up display (HUD). This presents an Augmented environment for the operator to view and execute based on real-time information.

AR in Manufacturing
Manufacturing today encompasses complex internal processes and global supply chains. The value of real-time information exchange at various stages of the product lifecycle is significant. Use of AR in providing this integration is very compelling with the availability of hardware and software tools to help simulate, assist, and improve processes. It can influence product development, training, monitoring lines, quality control, maintenance, and warehousing operations.

AR advantages
Time to value is key! You need a tangible return on investment in deploying AR. In implementing an AR system for its warehouse operations, a leading Automotive OEM indicated an estimated 5 - 10% increase in in productivity in addition to improved data accuracy and the elimination of redundant steps within the current process. Several such case studies exist today which speak to how AR is streamlining manufacturing processes.

Implementing AR
We recommend identifying process use cases where your frontline workforce can benefit from one or more of the following:
> Streamlining collaboration across tasks/ functions
> Access to real-time information
> Safety Compliance
> Retaining process know-how
> Digitalization
