Augmented Reality in manufacturing and in other sectors is becoming more common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when you sit down to watch the NFL playoffs, pay attention to those first-down markers, scrimmage lines, and text or images hovering just above the field.\u00a0 You know the ones I\u2019m talking about–those little extra helpers that make it that much easier to follow the game and to know whether Tyreek Hill managed to get the first down (I mean–c\u2019mon: he\u2019s got Mahomes passing to him.\u00a0 You know he did.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe without even realizing it, you\u2019ve been interacting with Augmented Reality (AR) technology each and every time you\u2019ve lined up your remotes (or whatever good luck tradition rules in your house) and rooted for your favorite team.\u00a0 NFL broadcasts show just how easy it is to implement and interact with AR. It might also explain why you should be using this technology in your manufacturing plant if you\u2019re not already.\u00a0

AR\/VR Terminology Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there\u2019s a difference between AR and VR.\u00a0 AR (Augmented Reality) is the overlay of information including sound, video, or graphics in a real-world environment. \u00a0 When using AR, you still have a visual connection to the world around you, just with extra information added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, virtual reality (VR) creates a separate, immersive world. This requires full immersion of the user, often as a digital manifestation, or “digital twin”, of himself. Beat Saber is a good example of VR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there’s something called mixed or hybrid reality. This blends the real physical world with the virtual to produce a new kind of environment.
Today we’re going to focus on AR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Invented VR and AR Technology? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Harvard professor Ivan Sutherland and his student Bob Sproull invented the first head-mounted AR display. Called the Sword of Damocles, the unit was not freestanding. To offset its weight, the unit mounted to the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles presented primitive wireframe rooms and objects to the viewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Augmented Reality in Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Closeup
AR can solve the puzzle of manufacturing assembly. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AR for Assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best uses for AR technology is in complex assembly situations.\u00a0 While robotics are valuable for some complex tasks, at this time robotics don\u2019t have the agility of human hands. \u00a0 But when a component has hundreds or possibly thousands of pieces that must be placed in an exact sequence, expensive mistakes can occur due to human fallibility. To minimize these mistakes, \u00a0manufacturers like Volvo<\/a> use AR displays like Hololens.\u00a0 The Hololens allows for hands-free, heads-up access to assembly instructions, which replaces the need for paper PDFs.\u00a0 This has resulted in a reduction in both task completion time and errors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR for Offsite Diagnostics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, AR technology allows subject matter experts (SMEs) who are not physically present to help with on-site tasks.\u00a0 This can be done using AR technology and IIoT to transmit data information to a secondary location. The SME diagnoses the issue and then helps a technician on-site to complete the job.\u00a0 Essentially, the less-experienced local worker becomes the eyes, ears, and hands for the expert through the AR device.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This use of AR technology has multiple ramifications for your plant.\u00a0 If you have more than one physical plant location, you can share your experts across those locations. This saves the cost and time burden of having those experts travel from point to point. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an added bonus, it can significantly cut down the amount of time your SMEs are unavailable to you due to travel time. It may also cut down on stress for those in-demand employees that always seem to be needed in two (or three) places at once.\u00a0 Additionally, it means when a plant location has a significant issue or breakdown, your expert can be \u201con-site\u201d in minutes instead of hours or days.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaining SMEs after Retirement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It also partially solves two other issues. Many industries are currently struggling to replace their aging and retiring workforce with properly educated younger workers.  At the same time, those older experts may feel unable to retire due to a lack of personal retirement funds, forcing them to remain on the job longer than they really want to.  But AR technology gives your plant access to your SMEs regardless of their location. This means plant managers can offer part-time remote work to semi-retired knowledgeable staff if they want to do so.  This allows your facility to continue to benefit from the knowledge of older staff members as they train their younger replacements via AR engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR for Better Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, augmented reality offers your team the opportunity to run through dangerous scenarios, minus some of the danger. Immersive AR scenarios allow your team to interact in real-time training activities in safe locations while also interacting with mixed reality training objects. Studies have shown this kind of mixed AR learning results in higher retention of skills, equivalent to that of traditional physical training. Yet AR training can be set in controlled conditions with safety measures engaged, allowing new learners to make mistakes in deadly situations without deadly consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR Relies on Data, Data Relies on AR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intentional design helps AR capture data. These insights can help you understand more completely how your space, your workers, and your product interact with each other, and how you can make changes in speed, direction, or scale to improve your throughput.\u00a0 AR technology can be used to train workers for how things are currently done, while at the same time gathering data to implement changes that will, in the end, improve efficiencies, create a safer work environment, and decrease waste.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
