Discover the way in which you can update your workplace in order to simplify maintenance tasks and improve energy efficiency.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a rapidly developing technology that enhances the user's real-world experience by adding virtual objects, data or information superposed to the physical environment. AR has multiple applications in various different industries, such as oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics, and maintenance among others.
The interesting part of AR solutions is that
it enables users to interact hands-free with digital content, this has
implications in multiple tasks that require operators to use or carry
tools while still allowing them to have access and control information
with voice commands or gestures, such as instructions, blueprints or
any other documentation.
At the same time this has implications in security, efficiency and
system simplification, which are specially relevant as they replace
aging infrastructure and will be explained in more detail in this
report.
Modern industry requires reliable and efficient machinery to manage complex and technically demanding operations. BB Visual Solutions offers Smart Panels as a solution to replace traditional, bulky, expensive, and energy-consuming machinery operation panels. Our Smart Panels are a cost-effective and easy-to-mass-produce alternative that uses layers of metal, plastic, or stickers with a unique code that can be read and operated hands-free with AR glasses or a physical device such as a phone.
Smart Panels are designed to operate in
harsh industrial environments as they are not affected by corrosion,
oxidation, or other problems commonly found in machinery. They require
no maintenance or physical contact and can be customized to
incorporate any machine routine or operation process as a new button
or a new user interface. With Smart Panels, operators can easily
rearrange the elements on the panel to fit their specific tasks and
responsibilities. Smart Panels offer a high level of security and can
only be operated and viewed by authorized personnel.
They can also log or record all actions performed on the panel,
enabling quick and easy troubleshooting in case of machine operation
errors. Smart Panels are compatible with a variety of devices,
including AR and VR glasses, phones, tablets, and other devices with a
camera and internet connection.
To ensure safe and efficient operation of machinery in industrial environments, BB Visual Solutions offers Smart Checklists as a solution. Smart Checklists are designed to be operated hands-free, providing real-time instructions and information about machinery to operators. Their main utility is ensuring that certain routines and processes are being properly executed.
These instructions can naturalle be created
manually by an operator or automatically by a script that analyzes
data from the machines to determine the tasks that must be followed.
Smart Checklists eliminate the need to manually submit information to
the server, saving time and reducing the risk of human error.
They can also be operated remotely by staff or technical support if
needed, providing a seamless workflow for operators.
Modern industry is an environment where the work conditions are always changing and operators are constantly facing technical challenges. Smart Eyes is a game-changing solution that provides a hands-free virtual operation environment, which can be enhanced with online technical support. By using Smart Eyes, operators can connect their AR glasses with online support, which allows for seamless and real-time communication with technical experts or supervisors.
One of the key benefits of Smart Eyes is the
ability to display real-time data from machines or equipment in the
field of view of the operator's AR glasses. This enables operators to
quickly and easily access critical information, such as machine
status, performance metrics, and other important data, without the
need to look away from the task at hand. Additionally, operators can
receive guidance and technical support from experts who can see
exactly what the operator is seeing in realtime, ensuring faster
resolution of technical issues and reducing downtime.
Smart Markers represent the next stage in the evolution of QR codes. These markers are significantly faster to read by machines, can be accurately read in real-time by machines from multiple meters away, and can be also read with low luminosity and from almost any angle.
By employing our Smart Markers, users are
able to conduct precise, real-time measurements with an accuracy of up
to the millimeter. These measurements can include the distance between
objects, positioning, inclination, and various other measurements that
are made completely hands-free, without the need for any additional
measuring or precision tools. Smart Markers can also offer real-time
machine status and operation information, that can be accessed
hands-free with AR glasses, or with the use of any phone or tablet.
This can also be used to track your location or to provide relevant
instructions.
