The era of Augmented Reality is here. From entertainment to business, almost every walk of life has been greatly affected by Augmented Reality and there is a lot of scope for AR in the future. Moreover, there is a bouquet of benefits of Augmented Reality in the Manufacturing and Production Manufacturing Industry as well. As the manufacturing industry increases its adoption of AR, it will get many benefits such as:
- Enhanced Productivity: AR has become an innovative way to explain anything and makes everyone understand the process, scenario, etc. Additionally, the pace of work has increased to upwards of 30% as compared to when AR is not involved, and thus enhances productivity.
- Save money: AR is affecting the speed of work and production figure and eventually bringing more money in less time.

Here are some of the use cases of augmented reality applications in design and manufacturing:
AR Improves the Product Design and Development process
Augmented Reality plays an important role in product designing and development. The dynamic nature of AR assists in creating digital designs without having to create them physically. Thus it makes the overall process simple, easy to access, less time-consuming, and comfortable as the product has no use of being physically created unless it is finalized.
Acknowledgment and Training Becomes Simpler
One of the biggest issues is to put the newcomers in manufacturing units directly. As they are beginners and unaware of the procedures, protocols, and equipment that may lead to safety hindrance. To maintain the safety protocols and to avoid any treacherous activity, AR describes everything to the novice and enables them to understand the overall process. They will get information with the important terminology of their job including how, what, when, and why.
3D models of equipment and machines play a crucial role in training. Its applications become broader and enable remote trainees to get training anywhere across the world. The training approach saves time, space, cost, manpower, and many more while providing detailed practical training to the layman.
Easy to Eliminate Defects in Product Manufacturing
In a product manufacturing process, find any error or any defect with AR-powered devices. With such equipment, you can save lots of time, effort, and money during the manufacturing process and even get products with minimum errors.
Augmented Reality in Manufacturing Industry makes Maintenance Easier
The management crew can be able to know which equipment requires servicing or warn you about any potential issues. Moreover, keeping a record of the last service date and recall it at the exact time is not easy. Augmented Reality in Manufacturing enlightens you not only with the operation time and potential failure but also with the requirement of service.
Assembly Task Becomes Easier
With Augmented Reality application at the manufacturing unit, you will be able to visualize the part of the equipment and their details to assemble, and 3D hologram instructions. The technology also provides all the information about the steps required for the manufacturing and designing process.
Augmented reality in the manufacturing industry has a broad capability. The AR-powered tools and equipment used during the entire product life cycle will be very beneficial. Along with the process enhancement benefits, its use includes cost-effectiveness, time-saving, scalability, and completely worth giving a try in the production line.
