Machine Breakdown

Pain point — A machine down can cost thousands of US$ per day

Machine down means operations are stopped. A ship not moving at normal speed because of a technical problem means thousands of US$ are lost.

An AR remote assistance solution can help staff fix a problem faster by connecting an expert with the operator on site.

Benefits

Time-to-fix a problem is significantly reduced allowing operations to continue or restart quickly
Operator can be in contact with one or few experts in seconds
Experts can see and hear as-if they were on site, next to the operator
Experts can share various assets or documents (images, videos, 3D objects, PDF…)
Reduction of carbon footprint because the experts can support the operator without travelling to the site

Targeted Users: Staff managing machineries, special equipment or heavy vehicles

Augmented Reality solution

Remote Site Visit

Pain point — Site visits take time and cost money

Real site visits are always better; still, from time to time, a remote visit can be a great alternative. Performing a remote site visit is easy and fast to start.

An Augmented Reality remote site visit solution fulfils the needs of the company.

Benefits

Many attendees can visit the site remotely without increasing any cost
Possibility to visit various sites in different locations within minutes
Reduction of carbon footprint because the « visitor » does not travel to the site
Pictures and videos of the visit available on the platform straight after the visit

Targeted Users: Staff working with various sites in different geographies

3D object visualization

Design Review

Pain point — Significant cost to create mock-ups during the design process

Each step to the way, a mock-up needs currently to be created for designers to assess the progress. A mock-up can cost a few thousands US$.

An AR solution to visualize 3D objects can prevent manufacturing mock-ups for 1 or 2 steps.

Benefits

Time saved and reduction of cost
4 to 5 mock-ups have to be created prior to final approval
Each mock-up can cost a few thousands of US$
Designers can visualize the proposed product remotely

Targeted Users: Design team

Digital twin

Layout Planning

Pain point — Installation of new equipment can be complex

Some pieces of equipment cannot be moved easily prior to installation. Visualization of a digital twin would allow to take the right decisions in advance and avoid mistakes.

An AR solution to visualize digital twin of equipment facilitates the process significantly.

Benefits

Eliminate mishaps and plan factory layouts without moving a single piece of heavy equipment
Reduction of cost or delay in the overall process
Possibility to work on various scenarios
Possibility to have few attendees

Targeted Users: Equipment teams

Product Introduction at Events

Pain point — Transporting large products to fairs or to customers can be cumbersome

Insurance and transportation costs for large products to events can be significant. Mock-ups or even real products are not always easily available for various events at the same time.

An AR solution to visualize digital twin of equipment facilitates the process significantly.
