augmented reality industry 4.0

There’s no denying the fact that we live in an age where information is the greatest enabler. To reap the benefits of modern technological marvels, industrial establishments have embraced technology in its many forms. This information and data science with modern manufacturing and fabrication processes has given rise to the concept of Industry 4.0. In this industrial revolution happening, smart technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) play a crucial role in the 4.0 industry.

How does Augmented Reality Relates to Industry 4.0?

Augmented Reality is essentially a technological innovation in which virtual imagery is overlaid on real-world visuals. This has the effect of enhancing any real-world object with advanced information drawn from digital sources. Also, in this way, the user can get information in real-time from digital data and apply it to real-world scenarios. Moreover, Augmented Reality has a distinct advantage over its more celebrated cousin VR (Virtual Reality). In that AR is semi-immersive; that is to say that unlike in VR where the user operates in an entirely computer-generated world. AR augments interaction with real-world objects. Also, this can have profound implications in the manufacturing industry and not only.

How Augmented Reality Enhances Industry 4.0?

Augmented Reality has proven to be of immense value to Industry 4.0. Being the best way to communicate relevant and pertinent information to industrial workers in a real-time setting, AR has contributed to enhancing the industry of the future and has created more efficient work processes.

The following are some of the many ways in which modern industrial settings are using AR.

Efficient Training

The training of new personnel is one of the most resource-consuming tasks in any industrial setting. Recruits are often unfamiliar with established rules and safety protocols; this can lead to serious incidents in the workplace. So, using AR, new personnel can be provided real-time instructions and guidance. Moreover, increasing communication and minimizing training time without the need for compromising safety.

Better Logistics

Manual checks are one of the most time-consuming processes of modern logistics. In addition, using AR, this process can be fully automated; this leads to the reduction of errors.

Enhanced Maintenance

AR enhances the maintenance process by supplying crews with up-to-date information, potential issues, and detailed service history of the equipment in question.
