Augmented reality has grown up — and can reduce operational costs

Industrial AR solutions provide real-time information and helpful guidance to staff in an easily accessible way — on smart glasses, smartphones, or tablets. So, by implementing this innovative technology, you improve the efficiency and quality of every step of the production process. And because they can integrate data from sensors, machinery, and other sources, you can identify defects and troubleshoot errors before they become expensive issues down the line.

AR displays instructions, diagrams, and models to assist in the assembly of products and to enhance your inspection and quality control procedures. And when plant and machinery are undergoing maintenance, AR enables remote collaboration and support among on-site engineers and remote experts. As a result, potential faults are quickly identified and remedied, and your equipment downtime is minimized.

Using AR technologies, your HR team can not only enhance your employees’ experience and performance but also increase their own operations’ efficiency.

How? By showcasing your company’s culture, values, and work environment through virtual tours, HR can attract, recruit, and retain the best talent. And once they are hired, onboarding new staff is simplified with AR. Your new workers learn procedures and corporate policies in a memorable, immersive AR environment. And with easy remote collaboration and communication through smart-glasses, recent hires can quickly call on the support of mentors and managers.

AR helps your HR professionals train and educate employees in a more effective and engaging way. Bulky manuals and stuffy training rooms are a thing of the past. The rich immersive nature of AR enables interactive learning and improves information retention. The result? You’ll see a more prepared and engaged workforce. Thanks to AR technology, skilled staff can quickly progress from theoretical tasks to firsthand, practical duties with headsets supporting processes by showing real-time, step-by-step instructions. What’s more, AR provides immediate feedback to newbies and work assessments to supervisors.

TeamViewer Frontline is an enterprise productivity platform that offers augmented reality solutions for businesses employing frontline workers. It enables employees to access digital information and guidance through wearable tech, such as smart glasses, as well as mobile end-devices including tablets and smartphones. By using TeamViewer Frontline, everyone can perform tasks faster, more accurately, and with less errors.

TeamViewer Frontline reduces your operational costs by improving the efficiency and quality of work processes.

This can save time, reduce errors, and increase productivity.

Similarly, in assembly and production, TeamViewer Frontline’s xMake solution augments manufacturing processes. This provides workers with step-by-step instructions and visual cues in their field of view, replacing physical manuals and enabling faster assembly and onboarding times. And in-built camera functionality checks and enhances quality assurance, reducing subsequent rework costs.
