While it’s still a work in progress, augmented reality (also known as AR) has the potential to transform almost any sector and industry – and the energy industry seems to be one of these industries.
Innovators are exploring its business relevance and the roles it can play in workforce enablement and customer experience and interaction. The emerging technology of AR holds tremendous promise for changing the way businesses work.
How Augmented Reality Will Transform The Energy Industry
Identify Components, Locations, and Wires Through AR tools, workers are now able to identify components, various locations, and wires. Employees are also able to visualize underground infrastructure and networks without any type of risk.
Identify & Repair Faulty Components, Augmented Reality also allows technicians to identify faulty components and machinery with ease. At the same time, it gives them guidance to repair these components easier and faster. The early detection of potential leakages is also possible, reducing significantly the number of accidents.
Efficient Way to Train and Prepare New Employees, Through the use of AR headsets, experienced technicians can provide remote on-site guidance to new employees and give them the support they need in their operations. This also allows companies to meet the growing demand for workforce in the industry.
Digital Instructions and Monitoring With the use of AR glasses, employees can use superimposed digital instructions to assemble or repair pipelines or other pieces of equipment with speed and efficiency. Also, AR devices are used to constantly monitor and overlay the real-time temperature of various machines.
Allows You to Solve Any Kind of Challenge, Augmented Reality can identify problems with a machine’s operation by collecting and analyzing vibration waves from it. This allows technicians to detect issues and solve them with ease.
Augmented Reality is Here to Stay
A number of disruptive transformations are taking place in the energy industry. AR makes the data available to the right person at the right place for making important business decisions. It will improve business processes significantly such as managing the ageing workforce and help in knowledge management. Augmented Reality solutions has benefited employee safety and asset protection primarily. It is important for energy businesses to understand the scope and multiple benefits of AR’s potential so they can stay ahead of their competition.
