AUGMENTED REALITY AND VIRTUAL REALITY IN MANUFACTURING 4 seconds ago

 What exactly is augmented reality? It's a type of technology that allows you to see the product in your immediate environment. It superimposes a computer-generated image over one's real-world view, resulting in a more enhanced version of reality. On the other hand, when one can put on a VR headset and be immersed in a truly immersive environment, interacting with it just like in the real world.

 

Yes, it does sound futuristic. What's more, guess what? It's a fact; it's used in everything from entertainment and gaming to healthcare, education, and manufacturing. AR and VR innovations are quietly infiltrating the automotive and industrial sectors and are now taking over the market. It's becoming a powerful tool for the industry to use, with too many tiny parts and complicated assembly. Both large and small businesses have created demonstrations and proof-of-concept experiences to analyse the use of AR and VR, and they are now bullish on these technologies and their mainstream integration. Some of them have already begun to do so.

 

Here are a few examples of how AR and VR are used in manufacturing:

 

Quality assurance and assembly

Our time is built based on speed. There are hundreds of thousands of small parts and equipment that, when perfectly assembled, can give us the final product. From mobile phones to rockets, everything has a collection of assembly instructions. For assembly instructions, manufacturing firms have relied on paper manuals. Assembly line staffs are prone to making errors in complicated assemblies, and the cost of reassembling the product may be high.

 

In this case, AR will assist employees in accurately assembling the piece. This can be done with head-mounted AR headsets or tablets. This would change the whole dynamic of wasting hours finding out which part goes where. AR aids in getting things right the first time. AR will help businesses minimize paperwork and go green by reducing assembly errors and decreasing paperwork.

 

Maintenance for augmented reality and virtual reality

Maintenance, like assembly and quality control, is an essential part of the manufacturing process. Currently, extensive maintenance manuals can be found in a variety of locations. Reading and memorizing these will take a long time. Who has that kind of time these days? Companies will make this process a lot easier with the aid of augmented reality.

 

Imagine being able to use a portable device to check on the computer’s condition in front of you. Users will go through step-by-step information to fix the laptop using real-time superimposed digital information. If the user becomes stuck at some stage, they may use a digital simulation to help them repair the computer. He/she can also choose remote maintenance, in which he/she can get support from a technical team sitting in an office using a handheld computer. Reduced human errors, execution time and downtime, and improved efficiency and speed are just a few of AR and VR advantages in maintenance.
