Virtual/Augmented Reality in the Plant

Virtual/Augmented Reality in the Plant

by Livia Wiley

Given today’s workforce challenges combined with today’s workplace constraints, the need for hands-on technology inside the plant has never been greater.  Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) can be used to execute a digital transformation strategy, training the user before operating in the plant and augmenting the end user's view with relevant and actionable information within the plant.  AR/VR provides a new window into the information facilities already collect, expanding how they use this data to improve maintenance, reliability, operational efficiency, and profitability. It’s no longer a question of “if” this technology will be employed at the plant level, it’s already being done. This presentation will demonstrate how AR/VR technology can enhance operations at every touchpoint in the plant—from immersive training to maintenance to the design and support of products, assets and operations. Demonstrations of this technology will show how to use it to drive operational efficiency, operator agility, and asset reliability.
