Industrial Augmented Reality BUYER’S GUIDE A guide to help businesses select the best AR Solution for their needs.
An Analysis of an Augmented Reality Application to support Service Staff in Industrial Maintenance An experimental investigation was carried out to explore this field. Two industrial maintenance cases with different levels of difficulty were simulated, whereby service staff had to solve these real-life problems. Support from an exert was provided via an AR-application. In addition, the Affinity for Technology Interaction score was assessed in order to identify the target group for AR- applications. This work leveraged PTC Vuforia Chalk.

3 Ways AR Can Improve New Technician Skill Adoption By 2020, 25% of the American workforce will be approaching retirement. In some industries this is a major concern because these employees will take years of critical expertise into retirement with them. As such, organizations are exploring innovative ways to transfer knowledge from their experienced employees to newer hires.
Magic Quadrant for Industrial IoT Platforms Gartner defines the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform market as a set of integrated software capabilities to improve asset management decision making and operational visibility and control for plants, infrastructure and equipment within asset-intensive industries and environments.
MAN Truck & Bus Hits the Fast Lane with ThingWorx Navigate MAN Truck was on a digital transformation journey. The manufacturer prides itself on producing individualized products for each of its customers. However, juggling product information through the organization’s various legacy enterprise systems was becoming too complicated to handle given the complex task of customization. What the manufacturer needed was a core PLM “backbone” for its product development – a stable system to manage data with core, foundational functionality – so that the team could continue to develop and manufacture products efficiently.
4 Reasons Remote Monitoring Is Your Best Move to Better Service Remote monitoring enables a proactive maintenance approach by providing visibility and insight to equipment performance across the install base.
Quick Wins and Long-Term Results with Remote Monitoring Manufacturing service professionals are problem-solvers, code-breakers and translators. In order to fix a machine that is unexpectedly offline, under-performing, out-of-range or otherwise anomalous, service technicians need to be fluent in the machine’s language. And for industrial equipment, that language is real-time, accurate and accessible data.
How to Improve Operational Performance in Real Time Since the very first industrial-strength machine was switched on for the very first time, plant executives have lied awake asking themselves the same questions: How can I predict and prevent machine downtime? How can I tell which small issues will grow into big problems? How can I integrate communication between machines, departments, and people? How can I increase machine safety and compliance?
ACCELERATING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: Improvement Initiatives and Role-Based Industry Apps Take the Lead Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, and Digital Transformation all referred to by LNS Research as Industrial Transformation, have be- come the dominant topics of boardroom conversation for large and mid-sized industrial companies alike.
Quick Start Guide: Monitoring Equipment with IoT Manufacturers are making major business improvements using the Internet of Things (IoT). They’re delivering value to customers in new ways and exploring new business models like selling outcomes versus products or shifting to a predictive service model. Some companies are well on their way to this strategic value, while for others it may seem out of reach.
What Is the Business Value of Digital Twin Technology? Traditionally a company develops a product, ships it to its customers or through reseller channels and only receives feedback through unreliable customer service portals, surveys or other verbatim mechanisms. What’s lacking in this black-boxed environment are the products actual operational performance and insights.
