In today's complex and changeable modern facility maintenance field, AR is augmented reality technology – it really plays an increasingly critical and difficult to ignore. What is AR in facility maintenance? Simply put, it is to use computers and other related technical means to combine virtual and reality to provide personnel engaged in facility maintenance with a more accurate and efficient maintenance assistance – scene; it allows them to see more conveniently and intuitively the location of specific maintenance issues, as well as relevant knowledge manuals, and past maintenance records on the basis of real scenarios.
Do you know why it is needed so much? Let's talk about it carefully-
First of all, from the perspective of finding various fault locations of various facilities, it is often extremely headache. For example: there are so many pipelines in large production workshops that are densely packed with pipelines, and traditional methods to find faults is too tormenting and inefficient; if you can use AR, technical workers can only wear relevant AR display equipment to identify where the faulty pipeline is, those detailed pipeline blueprints, various line connections, etc. are clear at a glance, as if adding magic to their own eyes – this is how it reduces the time-consuming and misjudgment possible.
Second, training of new employees who take over the maintenance of facilities projects is also of great significance – maintaining new environmental equipment is not enough if traditional written materials are used alone; using AR technology training, it is very different for employees to feel the true appearance of equipment disassembly and assembly through dynamic and intuitive visual perspectives; this is like playing with physical equipment by hand – there is no physical danger. Quickly improve your familiarity and mastery of various operating procedures. If you learn the maintenance and training of elevators, you can constantly practice the detailed locations of various components inside the elevator in the AR virtual environment – you can remember complex knowledge points more firmly
Furthermore, the equipment installation and adjustment stage is more helpful. In actual construction personnel use AR assistance to install parts and other activities, just like directly accepting "superman and immortal providing information guidance in the ears" to install the equipment according to the optimal configuration plan – directly knowing the exact location and orientation of the components, improving the equipment's one-time installation pass rate and effectively shortening the entire debugging cycle.
It is also worth mentioning that the use of historical data and real-time collected data – to provide strong and reliable data support for maintenance work, and the AR function can combine the historical records of previous maintenance and repairs with actual conditions on site to present the same unified presentation. There are also key core points to read real-time detection data with integrated sensing facilities – such as temperature monitoring data, pressure value changes, etc., which are displayed in real time in the display screen as an important basis for subsequent diagnostic decisions.
After talking about the importance of the above, many people may still have these questions
Q: Are workers’ skills requirements particularly tricky and complicated?
The answer is not like this–although AR looks advanced, the operation and use learning curve is generally stable. Just give them a shorter-long AR device operation specific training – workers can get started quickly without adding too much burden and threshold.
Q: What should I do about data security and compatibility?
To be honest – under the actual situation: select qualified and formal suppliers to provide corresponding products to achieve effective data security protection, and then the differences in software interfaces for maintenance equipment hardware types! There are unified standards that can achieve maximum compatibility as much as possible
How to choose the brand type in the market that is so complicated *
Answer key investigations: visual clarity, tracking stability, how well the equipment battery life depends on whether there are open and rich secondary interfaces and other projects
In comparison, a brand A has the advantage of image realistic, but if the ambient temperature is too low, it will affect its stability; while type B has strong battery life but the visual effect in dark scenes is not as good as others… In short, it is necessary to comprehensively compare and choose based on its own specific detailed application business standards.
In actual production, it is a general trend for enterprises to apply AR technology (and it is best to join forces with reliable network intelligent suppliers, for example, we provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!) If used properly and reasonably, it can really reduce the amount of labor consumption and greatly improve the response rate of maintenance work–the future! With the help of mature technology upgrades and improvements, facility maintenance work has been simplified and more efficient. This is definitely something that everyone likes. I hope everyone can be as bold as possible and actively participate in promoting the widespread use of this technology… Just like a boat lifts its sails and sails further ahead, let us look forward together!
