Ferry Repair AR
As new developments in augmented reality make an impact on manufacturing and industry, entrepreneurs and innovators will respond with apps that open up possibilities across the entire landscape of software applications. Apple and Android have recently released ARKit and ARCore, their respective new AR development platforms. ARKit and ARCore will make it possible for anyone with a smartphone or tablet to have access to innovative augmented reality experiences. As the next advance in interface design, augmented reality differs from virtual reality in significant ways.
While virtual reality offers a purely simulated experience, augmented reality combines virtual elements with a camera perspective for a unique integration of computer data dynamically linked to real elements in one's environment. Augmented RealiTease launched its first augmented reality project in 2009. As a leading developer of cutting-edge software applications, Augmented RealiTease is responding to the release of ARKit and ARCore with a set of new AR concepts that have great value for their respective industries, with immediate potential for development and implementation. Ferry Repair AR can be used by the ferry service industry to guide technicians and trainees through the complex process of inspecting and repairing ferries in an augmented reality context.
Need
Ferry repairs are conducted in dry docks by highly trained marine mechanics. Apprenticeships are offered through manufacturers and repair shops, and can take several years to complete. Ferry Repair AR can be used to accelerate instruction on specific vessels and specific ferry lines and to standardize ferry repair services for the entire company.
Benefit
Ferry Repair AR will offer a highly efficient method to carry out dry dock inspections, and help to implement a comprehensive predictive maintenance platform for the ferry repair industry. Ferry Repair AR will use the dynamic and immersive properties of augmented reality to expedite inspection and repair procedures in the fast-paced world of modern ferry operations.
Concept
Different grades of dry docks offer different levels of access depending on the level of required repairs. A dry dock procedure begins well before the vessel arrives, and Ferry Repair AR can be used to mobilize and coordinate a workforce for preparation. Each user can access Ferry Repair AR on a smartphone or tablet for detailed step-by-step instructions. Floating labels mark out their correct position on the dry dock and floating text can list the necessary tools for their assigned task. Like the aviation industry, mission-critical vessels such as ferries have highly precise inspection and repair protocols that oversee the time spent during a dry dock session. By eliminating the need for consulting manuals and reducing the time for training apprentices, Ferry Repair AR can implement dynamic inspection and repair procedures through text labels that appear in real time, provide associated instructions, and introduce operational graphics such as rotational vectors for wrench tools and gear assemblies, on and off graphics for power switches, and directional vectors for installing and moving materials and components along precise axes. Predictive maintenance is a vital feature of ferry operations, and frequent inspections ensure top performance. Ferry Repair AR can become an integral tool for ferry lines to help enforce company standards.
