Top Industrial XR Use Cases

From XR Today

Enterprises are diving right into immersive tech. Usage has skyrocketed in the last few years and no slowdown is in sight. Here are just some of the use cases for XR in enterprises. 

Product Development

Enterprises can use AR, VR, and the metaverse to develop new products quickly, collaboratively, and with cost-effective scenario experimentation. Boeing built its latest jet model using immersive tech and brought it to market faster than ever. 

Training

While its impact is still being studied, XR training is showing promise. It’s already beginning to improve outcomes, save money on expensive scenario and equipment training, and keeping trainees safe while training for hazardous conditions. 

Process Improvement

Emerging tech is a goldmine for data to help companies improve processes and workflows. A company renowned for its kaizen process improvement approach, Toyota, uses immersive tech to streamline various areas of its operations. 

Remote Support

We live in a global economy, now with more travel challenges and increased virtualization. AR and VR are being used to help connect experts from around the world to work on inspection, maintenance, and repair. LyondelBasell uses various immersive technologies to save travel time, increase collaboration, and keep business running smoothly. 

Collaboration

We’re a much more remote workforce than we were two years ago. Enterprises are adapting by building virtual workspaces for team members to collaborate and share information. Microsoft uses its own HoloLens to help its employees and customers work in the metaverse.
