Machine Breakdown

Pain point

A machine down can cost thousands of dollars per day

Machine down means operations are stopped, production lines slow down, ships cannot move at a usual pace: technical problems can be a real issue for any organization if not fixed quickly.

Solution

An Augmented Reality remote assistance solution can help staff fix a problem faster by connecting an expert remotely with the operator on site within seconds.

Benefits

• Time-to-fix a problem is significantly reduced, allowing operations to continue or restart quickly
• Operator can be in contact with one or several 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 as experts support the operator without travelling to the site

Target Users

Staff working in factories or warehouses with machines, engines, special equipment, heavy vehicles…

Remote Site Visit

Pain point

Site visits take time, cost money and require resources

Preventing accidents, monitoring audits, validating procedures and assessing operations can take time, limiting the potential within organizations to act faster.

Solution

An Augmented Reality remote site visit solution fulfils the needs of the company, helping management support operations without always having to go on site.

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 as the visitor does not travel to the site
• Pictures and videos of the visit available on the platform straight after the visit

Target Users

Staff managing various sites across different geographies.

Design Review

Pain point

Creation of mock-ups is a time-consuming and expensive process

Each step of the way, a mock-up needs to be created for designers to assess progress. A mock-up can cost thousands of US$ each, and also requires the design team to travel to the factory.

Solution

One can prevent manufacturing mock-ups for one or two steps by using an Augmented Reality solution to visualize 3D objects on demand.

Benefits

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

Target Users

Design teams.

Layout Planning

Pain point

Installation of new equipment can be complex and cumbersome

Moving pieces of equipment can be challenging. Visualization of a digital twin prior to installation would allow one to take the right decisions in advance, avoiding mistakes and rework.

Solution

An Augmented Reality solution to visualize the digital twin of equipment prior to commissioning facilitates the process significantly.

Benefits

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

Target Users

Teams in factories or warehouses managing heavy or bulky equipment.

Product Introduction at Events

Pain point

Transporting large products to fairs or customers can be cumbersome

Insurance and transportation costs of large products to events can be significant and deterrent. Mock-ups or real products are not always easily available for multiple events simultaneously.

Solution

Visualizing a digital twin of equipment using an Augmented Reality solution facilitates the process significantly.

Benefits

• Full catalog of products available at any time
• Large products can be demonstrated without transportation
• Possibility to visualize the product from various angles for each participant
• Possibility to add remote attendees

Target Users

Sales & Marketing teams.

Remote Collaboration

Pain point

Limited availability of medical experts

A specialist cannot be available in many places at the same time, despite their support being required. A specialist connects remotely with the on-site doctor using Augmented Reality.

Solution

Minimize time to support and get a diagnostic backed up by an experienced peer, regardless of location.

Benefits

• Quick remote assistance from a specialist
• Multiple interventions from a specialist within limited time to optimize their schedule
• Reduced carbon footprint
• More patients being supported

Target Users

Medical staff, doctors and specialists.
