Development of AR for Manufacturing

Identify Use Cases and Objectives

Identifying specific use cases and objectives for implementing AR in manufacturing. Defining the goals and expected outcomes of the AR. 

Understand the Manufacturing Process

Understanding the manufacturing process and workflow where AR will be implemented. 

Selection of AR Development Tools

Choosing AR development tools and platforms based on requirements. Popular AR development tools include Unity 3D, Unreal Engine etc. 

Integrate with Manufacturing Systems

Integrate the AR application with manufacturing systems, databases and software platforms to access relevant data, instructions and workflows. Data exchange between the AR application and systems. 

Test and Iterate

Testing the AR application for its functionality, performance and usability. Testing the application with end users and gathering feedback for improvement.

Deployment

Deploying the AR application in manufacturing unit and provide training. Providing ongoing support and updates needed. 

Benefits of AR in Manufacturing

Digitalized Work Instruction

The workers are guided through standardized process instead of reading the manuals within one point of time only. The AR guides the works for a particular thing in a particular time without wasting time and working digitally. By using the Videos & Audios in the digital format and integrating it with other features the working instructions are given. 

Any time Access of Information

AR enables the workers to access the related information whenever they need it which in result boost the onboarding process specially new members and also helps the existing member to easily navigate with new products.  

Reduction in Material Cost & Wastage

AR technology helps one to do tasks repetitively without wasting any material or other resources. it also prevents huge amount of error in the manufacturing process and also saves time and material by making some process automated.  

Quality Assurance

In traditional method the Quality can only be examined the end of process but with advancements in AR solutions a quick examination can be done at any stage of production cycle. The AR solution identifies errors, torque, correct wire placement etc. And also stores inspection data. Thus it assures quality in a better way. 

Safety & Efficiency

Physical guides are replaced by AR and provides navigation to task in safer manner. Many of the task can be done without any involvement of hands with complete awareness. 

Product Variation

As the work instruction are added to the AR systems the workers get used to it and adapt the product variation very quickly & conveniently with the help of AR systems. 

Future of AR in Manufacturing

The development of Augmented Reality is growing and expanding at rapid rate as new announcements related to AR hardware and software every year. The most significant opportunity of AR is the integration of AR with AI. The integration of AI in AR has huge potential of autonomation.  

The future of AR in manufacturing has potential to transform the industry by improving productivity, efficiency, safety & innovation. AR technologies continues to develop the uses of AR by manufacturers for competitive advantage in the digital age is increasing. 

CASE STUDIES

AR for Aircraft Assembly

One of the leading Aerospace manufacturers faced problem in aircraft assembling as in traditional methods involve paper based instructions, 2D diagrams and manual measurements which is time-consuming and prone to errors. We implemented AR technology and developed an AR-based solution called Assisted Reality Glasses or AR Glasses which consisted of AR displays, cameras, sensors, and software applications tailored for aircraft assembly which was utilized for assembly instructions, recognizing aircraft components & parts, quality assurance, remote assistance etc. Which resulted into improved efficiency, enhanced quality, enhanced safety etc. Thus their challenge was solved with AR.

AR as Visitor Induction

Leading automotive manufacturers has large number of visitors such as employees, contractors, suppliers, guests etc. which requires visitor induction to guide them for safety protocols, site regulations and emergency procedures. Traditional method were manuals or presentations and time consuming and lack interactivity. We implemented the AR visitor induction solution which utilizes mobile AR applications installed on visitors smartphones. Where : Visitors download a mobile AR app and scan QR codes in which AR-guided tours of different areas, safety procedures, virtual guides etc. was present. Which resulted into improved engagement, streamlined induction process, improved safety awareness etc.

AR for Quality Assurance

leading power generation technology company implemented an AR based quality assurance solution to optimize their turbine inspection processes in its power generation facilities. We developed AR Turbine Inspection System" for use in turbine inspection & maintenance activities. Which worked as digital inspection procedures, hands free inspection, visual guidance & recognition, real time data capture & analysis. Which resulted into improved inspection accuracy, increased efficiency, enhanced safety, remote expertise access etc.

General Knowledge Base

  • Identify Use Cases: Begin by identifying specific use cases and applications for AR technology within manufacturing operations. 
  • Assess Business Needs: Conduct a thorough assessment of your business needs, challenges and opportunities that AR technology can address. 
  • identify a solution provider: Contact with companies AR solutions provider and tell them your needs and wants from solution. 
  • Integrate with Existing Systems: Integrate the AR solution with existing manufacturing systems, databases and software platforms to access relevant data, instructions, and workflows. 
  • Implement Feedback Mechanisms: Implement feedback mechanisms to gather input and insights from users during the pilot program and after full-scale implementation. 
  • Major AR solutions can run on smart phones and tablets as they are affordable, accessible to workforce.  
  • Wearables AR: Some of the AR work best or only work on wearing Headsets devices. Even the smartphone/tablet AR solution can sometime run on headsets. 

Yes definitely AR is much safer than the traditional methods that are used in the workplace. As AR is completely digitalized it allows the workforce to maintain situational awareness. AR improves safety with clear warnings. 

That depends on the AR solution one is using in the system and how that system is created. There are AI software which can connect to the other systems but there are also some AR software that can’t connect to other enterprises. We provide both 

In fact every AR is powered by AI. The advancement of AI & Machine learning desires for integration with AR with Industrial AI tools which search defects during visual inspections an automatically file reports. AR promises to make AI a big data tool for the workforce. 

The costing of AI hugely depends on the technology, devices requirements, use case Etc. Beyond the initial cost of software, the cost of data, cost of hardware etc. Are considered. Some requires less investments and some requires gradual investments. However we provide optimum cost of AR solution for you. 

  • Marker-based AR. 
  • Markerless AR. 
  • Location-based AR. 

There are many types but this types are in most common use.
