Augumented Reality
Introduction
When it comes to augmented reality, industry is one of the most promising fields of application. Companies are constantly looking for innovative solutions to improve the production process and make it more efficient and user-friendly, and AR presents numerous opportunities. Created for entertainment, this technology is entering more and more contexts. What makes it particularly interesting is its interactive nature, which opens the door to a unique and unprecedented productive creativity
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that enhances the real environment by overlaying it with up-to-date digital information on the screen of your mobile device:
-
The AR app captures an image of the environment with the camera in a tablet, smartphone, head-mounted display, or AR smart glasses.
-
The captured image is scanned to identify where to place additional information.
-
The AR software requests specific content to show to the user.
-
The AR application assembles an integral image of the physical environment with the overlaid additional information.
-
It is critical that all scene-processing operations occur as quickly and transparently as possible. Any time lags may confuse the end user and lead to various errors.
-
Therefore, it is necessary to use high-quality AR hardware and software solutions that provide high performance.
-
Vision picking systems are particularly advantageous because all operations can be performed using only AR smart glasses, without any additional input devices.
-
AR smart glasses are digital glasses that collect data from internal and external sensors and provide relevant information to the user.
AR in Industrial Environments
AR can significantly enhance processes in Industry 4.0. Here are some key areas where AR can be particularly beneficial:
Manufacturing
AR can greatly improve product design and development by monitoring production and identifying errors early in the development process, thus avoiding these errors. This can drastically reduce the number of real prototypes needed, accelerate production and process development, and save the company time and money.
Logistics
AR can provide visual and clear guidance inside buildings such as warehouses or plants. In large companies, AR can simplify navigation through complex structures, helping users quickly find what they need, even in unfamiliar environments.
Support & Maintenance
Engineers on-site can receive remote support during production and maintenance with AR. This allows highly specialized staff to assist in multiple locations simultaneously. Visual aids make it clear for engineers to understand exactly what needs to be done, reducing confusion and errors.
Work Protection and Safety
AR can enhance workplace safety by showing workers potential hazards and emergency exit routes. Instead of using a map, AR provides a strong visual aid that integrates safety measures into the real environment, helping workers respond more quickly in emergencies.
Implementation Process
To implement the described solution, AR glasses connected to WiFi will be provided to personnel at the end of the production line. The AR glasses will monitor products and send photos to a cloud server for inspection of production errors or material issues. The server will examine the data and send back the results. The on-site personnel will then receive all related information, ensuring efficient and accurate inspections.
Sales and Presales
AR can greatly benefit marketing and sales by visually explaining complex concepts, making them easier for prospects to understand. It allows for the creation of virtual showrooms where clients can view models of large or expensive machines that cannot be physically brought to a demonstration.

The goal of this software is to reduce the time consumed to track the data. This software will help us to centralize the data generated to a common server. The single most important (and most differentiating) feature of modern inventory management systems is automation.
Automated platforms give teams access to many things: real-time updates, alerts, and reminders, and heightened control over their processes. The increased accuracy and real-time benefits of automation solutions have enabled teams to save time, decrease human error, and gain control and specificity over their work.
Cloud-based software ensures that team members can record and update data anytime, anywhere. Additionally, cloud-hosted systems allow teams to collaborate in real time, rather than waiting for the latest version to be sent out. Finally, find increased accuracy with cloud programs and ensure that there is only one record of the truth.
