Advanced Manufacturing in Augmented Reality
We’ve all seen photos and videos of super hi-tech, automated, intelligent factories belonging to multi-nationals. The advantages of this level of technology for manufacturers are clear for all to see but most of the time, it is outside of the financial reach of the typical SME. With CompuTec Holo, we are trying to change that.
CompuTec Holo is an exploratory project, currently still in the development phase, to provide SMEs using SAP Business One and CompuTec ProcessForce with a tool that will transform their production halls into smart factories and give them a new competitive edge. The solution is based on an Augmented Reality (AR) interface supported by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms. The user looks at, for instance, a machine in the factory and will have access to a host of live data about that machine which will appear superimposed on the real production environment. Users will be able to manage production and logistics activities using voice and gesture commands and receive alerts and recommendations to help them run their business better.
