Augmented Reality Smart Real World Decisions
An opinion piece written by Steve Jones on the Smart Industry website offers a view in how Augmented Reality promises to increase productivity in manufacturing and service sectors by delivering timely, useful information, enabling people to work without consulting technical manuals.
The article talks about improvements being made by augmenting human workers by 25-50% with AR also closing skill gaps as it allows less skilled workers to match the productivity of experienced workers. This type of AR technology is being tested in a range of manufacturing industries, warehousing and field-service environments.
Steve Jones, the author of the article believes we will see an increasing interplay between augmented reality for management and decision-support simulations. This will start from current metrics overlaid on a real business, moving on to proposed investments and reorganization, with future simulated realities. This will enable deeper understanding, rooted in the real-world, with evidenced-based proof to back up what can often be seen as ivory-tower process-improvement or investment decisions.
