XR Solutions for Worker Assistance
The intelligent future of work and training
As simple tasks in industrial production can often be performed by automated systems and machines, more complex tasks require to be executed by skilled workers who must meet strict quality, safety, and efficiency requirements to maintain operational workflows. With increased production and product complexity, shortages of skilled employees in the market, and increasing cost pressure, companies are faced with essential challenges around maintaining safe and efficient working environments and operations.
For both employees and employing companies in the industrial sector, new technologically supported forms of worker assistance and digital learning can streamline the processes of knowledge transfer across global teams, training, and collaboration.
Extended Reality (XR) technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), provide the opportunity to transform how employees can flexibly access information, intuitively interact with machines, cooperate with co-workers from anywhere, accurately perform tasks, and quickly develop new skills through immersive training on innovative devices such as e.g. smart glasses, head-mounted displays (HMDs), or smart gloves.
Exemplary use cases include AR-guided work instructions, where digital schematics, step-by-step instructions, or sensor data can be visually overlaid directly into the worker’s field of view for tasks such as a faster, more precise assembly and maintenance, while VR-based training environments allow for employees to practice complex processes in simulated environments anytime and from anywhere in a safe and cost-efficient manner.
XR can also be used to detect defects or discrepancies in products for accelerated and improved quality control and monitoring. AR headsets in assisted operations enable experts to support frontline workers by taking their position of view virtually and provide real-time advice for improved collaboration and faster problem solving.
