The Use of Augmented Reality in Manufacturing

The use of augmented reality (AR) in manufacturing, highlighting its ability to reduce downtime and boost efficiency by enabling remote support and diagnostics. AR technology, particularly through wearable devices like smart glasses, provides real-time visual and data overlays, allowing remote experts to see and address issues as though they were on-site. This reduces delays caused by travel and ensures faster problem resolution, minimizing operational costs. H.B. Fuller has incorporated AR solutions such as Google Glass Enterprise and other headsets to enhance their global support systems. By leveraging AR, manufacturers can maintain productivity, improve safety, and lower costs associated with equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.
