Replay webinar - Increase your OEE with industrial augmented reality

The optimization of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a key issue for any industrial company. The levers can be numerous: continuous improvement, lean, maintenance, lead time reduction, etc. The objective? Tend toward 100% quality, productivity and availability. Driven by the production teams, who are responsible for this objective, some projects are also the result of collaboration with other departments such as Innovation, Digital, or Industry 4.0, sometimes with a more specific approach.

The augmented technician: dream or reality?

Industry is a sector in perpetual change. Ever since the first factories appeared, the search for productivity and performance improvements has been an endless race : production lines, automation, lean manufacturing, etc. In recent years, the term Industry of the Future or 4.0 has been at the heart of all the strategies of major industrial groups. What is at stake? The digitalisation and robotisation of manufacturing centers to regain competitiveness in the face of a globalised market. Contrary to what one might think, the human being remains at the heart of these industrial changeswith a role that evolves and adapts to changes of each manufacturing revolution. The fourth to date, even if it is digital, is no exception to this rule.

How to introduce 4.0 technology in your maintenance processes?

Industry 4.0 is a dream come true. Automated processes, robotized operations, autonomous factories... We can already see it! But if we are on the path of these changes, the ideal 4.0 will not be achieved immediately and effortlessly. Each innovative technology involves changes, more or less profound, more or less heavy, more or less costly. At the centre of these changes, there is one key element : the human being.

The 3 industrial innovations to follow in 2021

Industry 4.0 represents a multitude of innovations capable of improving your daily processes, but how do you know which one will be the most beneficial for your needs? Today, we offer you a focus on 3 industrial innovations that are going to explode in 2021!

Spectral TMS raises €2 million to finance its strong growth in Industrial Augmented Reality

3 industrial applications with ROI to manage with Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is a real daily asset for Industry, especially on industrial sites where the usual cases follow a precise procedure, which is not always well carried out, but is nevertheless essential for the company from a safety, technical and economic point of view. Augmented Reality is a real virtual assistant for the operator on a daily basis to guide him step by step on tasks to be carried out. On average, we see a 50% reduction in turnaround time operations and an error rate reduced to 0 on tasks performed with an augmented reality solution. Discover 3 use cases to be treated ABSOLUTELY with an Augmented Reality solution.

Augmented Reality in for preventive maintenance

Preventive maintenance, unlike curative maintenance, consists of anticipating a problem before it occurs or changing a part before it is defective. Properly carried out, preventive maintenance can avoid a large number of problems and thus ensure continuity on your production lines, which will ultimately give you an advantage over your competitors.

Optimization of industrial maintenance thanks to Augmented Reality

In the industrial environment, maintenance is an important issue because it ensures the smooth running of the production line. It is necessary to optimize its industrial maintenance by ensuring that the equipment used works properly in order to avoid certain disastrous consequences. In order to achieve this optimization, there are today many innovations in the field of immersive technology such as Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality or Augmented Reality. This technology, which has been on the market for several years now, helps to improve business procedure by allowing operators to have all the necessary information in their field of vision through Augmented Reality glasses. This represents a considerable short and long term advantage for manufacturers. Learn how to optimize your industrial maintenance with Augmented Reality!

Augmented Reality: an innovative solution to stay ahead of the competition

Integrating an Augmented Reality solution into your site allows you to a considerable time saving at all the key stages of your industrial processes. During a test carried out at one of our customers, we noted that by following the traditional maintenance protocol of its site on uncontrolled tasks, a maintenance operator with minimal experience was not able to perform 2 of the 4 operations without the intervention of a trade expert and obtained 3 errorsall in 1 hour. Using the solution Spectral TMSthe same operator was able to perform all tasks without assistance and without error, all in Thirty-two minutes..

3 reasons to integrate Augmented Reality in your industry

The emergence of new technologies is a bairgain for the industry. The emergence of digital twins, BIM and IOT are just some of the many opportunities to modernize our plants, to improve their productivity of course, but also the well-being and safety of operators and the environmental impact. Each of the innovations related to Industry 4.0 allows for the improvement of one or more of these areas. This is notably the case of Industrial Augmented Reality. So let's look at 3 reasons to integrate Augmented Reality in your industry. (If you don't know what AR is, you can consult this articlewhich sums it up in a few sentences).

Augmented reality: the 5 levels of industrial maintenance in companies

In the industrial environment, maintenance is an essential element for the proper functioning of the chain. It represents the whole of the actions of breakdown service, repair, adjustment, overhaul, improvement, control and checking of the company's equipment. The maintenance process is applied taking into account many constraints, including safety, the environment and quality.

AR Solution for Industry 4.0: How to deploy it successfully?

A concept linked to the current industrial revolution and a theme that is on everyone's lips, we are going to share the best practices that we put in place when we carry out a project to integrate our "Industry 4.0" solution. But first, let's find out what this term means.
