Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience that is used to create a virtual world that is similar to the real one.

The computer often uses multiple sensory modalities to create that real life-like environment for the user. The visual effects will be heightened and your ears will experience more as the auditory features are sharpened.

Now since AR amalgamated with Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating breakthrough developments in all the fields.

Augmented reality enhances the entire manufacturing process from improving throughput to accelerating training reducing cost and improving operator performance.

AR provides step by step instructions for everything from assembly processes to machine setup change over and maintenance.

Real-time visual direction reduces the time spent interpreting instructions, improve productivity and enhance overall worker safety. let’s look at the benefits of using AR in the manufacturing industry.

Benefits of Augmented reality:

1. Augmented Reality brings products to life

In the manufacturing industry, during the product design phase especially if it is a machine, if AR is used, then the onlookers will have a complete idea of the look and feel of the finished product.

If there are investors involved, then they will have an idea about what they are investing in.

2. Efficiencies in product development

The look and feel of the finished product often is a mystery even to the team which is developing the product.

However, the usage of augmented reality and virtual reality (AR & VR) will help the team to become more efficient and robust in their delivery.

The AR companies which have integrated AR and VR in the solution designing phase. In today’s fast-paced and fast-changing world, AR and VR solutions are an integral part of multimedia marketing.

3. Simplify complex assembly process

In the manufacturing units, often conveyor belts are used at multiple stages of the manufacturing process.

While giving training to the new recruits, AR can play a significant role in explaining the process which is performed in each step.

With AR you can provide clear step by step assembly instruction and remote guidance to help boost productivity and reduce avoidable errors.

The video which is shot using AR technology will give a better idea about the task which the technician will have to perform on the shop floor.

Step-by-step instruction can be delivered through an AR device that lets the assembly process to operate faster and efficiently respond with the latest information.

4. Easy troubleshooting through visualized workflow

 

Imagine that your car has broken down in the middle of the road and you do not have access to a mechanic nearby.

If you have a technology that uses AR, then you can look at the video and get a real-time understanding of how to fix your car.

In the near future, we will witness the extensive usage of AR in the manufacturing industry. Augmented reality removes the need to physically be located at the source of the problem.

Saving human resources and resolving problems faster. Safely, timely and with less risk.

5. Reduce cost

AR will be incorporated in creating solutions in the manufacturing sector which will reduce the recruitment costs, training costs, infrastructure costs, and many other costs.

Employees can be physically located at another place and using the data stored in the cloud and the space created by AR and VR, they can provide solutions from a distance.

There are TVs and multimedia systems that are already developed by engineers who use AR and VR extensively.

The electronics manufacturing sector will boom in the next few decades as there will be many gadgets designed using AR and VR.

AR provides unprecedented clarity into processes and integrated IoT data enables quick reaction to problems and allows you to address issues before they occur.
