Metaio shows the advantages of augmented reality in industrial processes

German developer Metaio is the main augmented reality exhibitor at Hannover Messe 2015, the industrial fair that is held until next 17 April in this German city, where it shows how this technology improves each step of the life cycle of a product in its industrial application, from its design and until completing the manufacturing process.

As Axel Lechler points out, responsible for business development of industrial solutions Metaio, which is participating these days in the Hannover Messe industrial event (pavilion 7, stand A53), “augmented reality is becoming an integral part of the industrial workflow, y 2015 “It is proving to be a year in which virtual overlays are helping to accelerate production output like never seen before.”.

In any case, Lechler emphasizes that “there is no doubt that, despite all the automation that industrial processes have today, The human factor continues to play a fundamental and crucial role in this industry, and this professional needs an interface to combine digital information with the real environment, and that is precisely where reality comes into play as the visual interface between both worlds.”.

In this contest, Metaio exhibits three augmented reality demos focused on the industry, with real cases of application of this technology as a fundamental resource of the entire process (see attached video), and how technicians can offer real-time remote support using interactive tools.

Metaio's augmented reality technology allows you to create, as Lechler explains, a feedback loop system in which a remote worker can add additional information to a maintenance application. By utilizing 3D object tracking with a remote maintenance system, workers who are distant from the site can spatially orient them to virtual content for delivery to the on-site team, with which both work together and collaboratively despite being miles apart.

“At Metaio we try to understand and recognize data and its uses in an industrial environment. It's all about providing this data to the user through augmented reality technology in the most appropriate way.. Employees who work directly in the machine design process, For example, “They will be able to see information about the entire machine projected in their field of vision”, Lechler points out.
