AR Boosts Work Productivity
/Early adopters that are using augmented reality (AR) in the workplace are seeing boosts in productivity. From training and remote support to operations and R&D, companies are finding ways to work better with AR.
From AR post
A recent IBM study reported that companies using AR have reported:
Average productivity improvements of 32%
A 46% reduction in time to complete tasks
Immersive technologies are being used throughout enterprises, and the biggest impacts are being seen in the following areas.
Training: Using extended reality (XR) improves trainee engagement, experience, and retention. Employees can train in an immersive environment for everything from workflow tasks to operating heavy machinery to practicing hazardous scenarios virtually.
Remote Support: Sped up by COVID, remote support has grown in the last few years. Customers and field employees can connect directly with experts, from anywhere, who can guide them through complex inspection, maintenance, and repair tasks.
Manufacturing: Line workers can see products in virtual reality to troubleshoot, perform quality assurance testing, and more. Boeing saw a 30% reduction in time to complete a job using AR.
Prototyping: Large, complex assets can be built and tested in virtual reality—before a single part is ever purchased. Companies are using XR to develop buildings, design heavy machinery, optimize production lines, and more.
2022 productivity checklists might just include XR.
