AR enables new business opportunities in Manufacturing by XMReality
An article posted by AREA member, XMReality, informs us on how Augmented Reality is creating Business opportunities for manufacturing industries. XMReality has created a Remote Guidance system based on Augmented Reality offering an effective tool for field service engineers. They give an example of how AR is helping others.
“Our clients are located all over the world, manufacturing anything from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals and heavy machinery. Some clients make as many as 1,000 tubes per minute, where each minute of downtime can result in significant financial loss,” says Christer Bäck, Customer Service Manager at Norden Machinery.
XMReality have then come up with intuitive solution to stop financial loss with their new ‘Remote Guidance’ being a valuable tool. This new tool enables its service staff to guide each other without being physically on site.
Niklas Rengfors, sales director at XMReality, said: “Our software can be easily installed on different hardware platforms, such as laptops, smartphones and tablets. Additionally, many users opt for the smart glasses that offer a wide field of view and let the user work with both hands free. The choice of hardware is based on the needs of the company.”
Common applications within the manufacturing industry include field service and aftermarket service, as well as training. Reduced travel costs, an improved service offering and a higher skill level within the company are some of the advantages that XMReality’s customers testify to.
