Inspect AR – Smart Navigation on the Shop Floor

Yes, we see ourselves as an agency around Augmented Reality and support customers with our know-how from numerous applications. In this way, mature AR apps and AR software for very individual needs are created again and again – for companies but also for research. In addition, we advise on all aspects of Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Reality applications (e.g. VR Apps). Especially in the simulation area, Virtual Reality is often an interesting choice.

The first steps are often the same: We start with a proof-of-concept or pilot project to validate the concrete feasibility of the application and the added value in your environment. We clarify how the data flow and integration work in your system landscape, which interfaces are needed and which specific additional requirements can be implemented by you with reasonable effort. We are also happy to develop a concept for how you can make optimal use of this technology.

Our out-of-the-box solutions can be integrated directly into your IT landscape. So you’ll be productive faster without any major effort. Individual AR solutions typically take several months, depending on requirements. We always make sure to use the best possible components for our customers – and to keep the costs within reasonable limits.

With augmented reality, you see the world around you as it is. It is enhanced with additional interactive information in the real environment. That’s why it’s also called augmented reality, because the real world and virtual content are visible at the same time.

It is different with virtual reality, or virtual reality. To use a VR application, for example a virtual reality app, a completely closed VR goggle is needed. The user moves in a completely virtual space and sees nothing but a virtual world.

One more note on hardware: you don’t need to invest in high-end data glasses to use the technology. Android smartphones or tablets are ideal for getting started. With the latest generations of iPhones and iPads, Apple delivers very high precision for AR navigation.

We are your expert partner for innovative mixed and augmented reality applications. As an augmented reality agency, we offer the complete range of services: We create a concept and take over the programming up to the implementation of your augmented reality solution. Just like the consulting around data glasses or the use of mobile devices. This enables you to exploit the full potential of AR technology, optimize processes, create new experiences and innovate together.

Augment IT is a full-service provider for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology. As an augmented reality agency, we are also happy to implement individual augmented reality applications, VR projects and AR solutions for our customers. We support optimizing processes, creating new AR experiences and making expert knowledge available everywhere.

Inspect AR for inspection and maintenance is ideal for plant checks, inspection rounds, incoming and outgoing inspections, final inspections, safety and compliance checks, or for regular maintenance to ensure quality, e.g. as an app for the smartphone.

Today, inspection processes of plants and products are often paper-based and manual. Analyses and interpretation of inaccurate inspection results often lead to wrong conclusions. Thus, traceability for future improvements is limited. In addition, the inspection process itself is often tied to one inspection expert and not transferable to other employees. As a result, the inspection process is often slow and not reliable.

Numerous industries such as mechanical engineering, life science, logistics, transportation, aerospace & defense, etc. have already recognized this and are using augmented reality software or apps to gain competitive advantage. AR content such as AR instructions is also being used in the life science and chemical sectors for plant control and quality assurance. In industries such as transportation, logistics and building services, augmented reality combined with AR glasses is very useful because both hands remain free for important tasks. This saves time and increases quality.

In the future, more industries will want to use a robust and secure capability that scales across multiple application areas: e.g., onboarding, training, field service management, safety inspections, meeting compliance requirements, individual process improvements, sign-offs and maintenance. In addition, new capabilities such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will become available for better predictions. In the short term, integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) will become an increased topic, such as for live display of sensor data on machines. In essence, however, developments in the AR market will primarily: continue.
