Using Augmented Reality Glasses at Industrial Enterprises
- "remote assistant" systems;
- real-time display of process control system (APCS) data;
- interactive documentation and animated instructions;
- 3D reference materials and catalogs;
- training courses;
- remote collaborative decision-making systems.
The use of augmented reality glasses at industrial enterprises is becoming more and more relevant. The ability not only to get the necessary information quickly but to see it in three dimensions, right next to the object it relates to, opens up enormous opportunities for increasing employee productivity. Line personnel no longer need to keep contacting the control room for instructions, and young workers no longer need to keep distracting their senior colleagues: all the necessary data is literally before their eyes. Moreover, it is the information needed at this particular moment for this particular job, so there is no need to waste precious time looking for the right section or drawing.
"Remote assistant" systems for augmented reality glasses allow even inexperienced employees to service and repair complex equipment by transmitting visual information to the computer of an experienced specialist, who can give advice both by voice and by sending handwritten notes and information directly to the worker's glasses.
Augmented reality glasses with tracking of the surrounding space, such as Microsoft HoloLens, Meta or Magic Leap, offer significant advantages. They make it possible to position and anchor virtual objects precisely in the real world, so the worker does not have to keep pointing their gaze at markers: the glasses themselves determine which room the employee is in and what exactly they are looking at. Moreover, such AR glasses can synchronize spatial coordinates and time with each other, which allows everyone wearing AR glasses, even in different parts of the country, to see the same three-dimensional hologram in the same place.
Augmented reality glasses offer a great many advantages on conveyor lines, in control rooms and even when issuing work orders. Now is the time to introduce this innovative technology at your enterprise!
