AR Electric
Augmented reality is a ground-breaking new method to connect people to computer information, with a range of features and benefits bound to have a major impact on the future of modern industry. By combining virtual graphics with a camera view, augmented reality layers information directly into a user's unique perspective. Apple and Android have both introduced their AR development platforms, named ARKit and ARCore respectively, making it possible for anyone with a smartphone or tablet to access AR apps. Developers and entrepreneurs can now create augmented reality applications for a much wider pool of potential users, and to serve all kinds of businesses and industries. Apps can be customized for specific industries to create new methods for identifying personnel with facial recognition, organizing and identifying inventory, and overseeing equipment and associated services and repairs.
Augmented RealiTease is a leading full-service interactive multimedia developer that focuses on the design and development of augmented reality applications. They have developed a set of concepts geared to specific industries that employ augmented reality to enhance and facilitate their operations. One of these concepts, AR Electric, employs augmented reality to address issues specifically related to the electric industry: its components, equipment, assemblies, and personnel.
Need
Manufacturing and distributing steel is a challenging business, involving teams of personnel, heavy duty equipment and vehicles, raw materials, and a set of production and post production processes. AR Steel will allow users to scan the facility and orient themselves to all of the details of the operations, with industry specifications and text labels that connect you more directly into the environment.
Benefit
AR Electric has the potential to be a model for the future of electric plant management. With the ease of access and the ability to acquire a large set of industry-specific details at a glance, AR Electric will prove to be an innovative and highly practical tool.
Concept
AR Electric works by recognizing labels on components and equipment. Labels are rigorously applied to all components associated with the electric industry to ensure public safety. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)and The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) work closely together to establish standards, and they have written many standards and regulations that build on one another, to the point where OSHA is described as the "shall" while NFPA provides the "how." AR Electric will develop its interface in strict accordance with these regulatory bodies, and stay current with the NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace®. The U.S. Military (MIL) and some federal government agencies also maintain their own codes for their electric projects.
AR Electric can be adapted to recognize these labeling systems and link them to a set of data that appears when items in the space are scanned. This basic premise creates the platform for a comprehensive suite of tools. Stock can be scanned for their properties and capabilities, price, and inventory management. Equipment can be scanned for make and models numbers for specs and diagnostics, repair schedules, replacement parts, etc. AR Electric will recognize elements in control panels, offer service and repair guidelines, and add detailed information when and where you need it. Augmented reality can provide floating text in a camera view to label elements dynamically in real time, for an enriched informational experience with the environment, making it an ideal application for onsite inspections. A facial recognition component facilitates personnel management for large scale operations, and can be used to coordinate work orders, schedules, inventory, and more.
