Integration of intelligent machines and software, evolution of human’s role and their work in industry, automation and digitalization of different activities – those are, much simplified, in the focus of Industry 4.0. One thing is sure: wide-reaching industrial revolution is inevitable and although the implementation processes are more advanced in the West than in Poland, no market will remain untouched by the changes. The lack of adaptation to new market and industry requirements will be crucial for many companies.
In a very general perspective, in the period of 2018-2023, according to research conducted in the American market by LEK consulting, businesses will focus mainly on:
Despite ambitious plans and high expectations which are connected to current industrial revolution, there are some visible problems related to the lack of well-qualified workforce – according to research conducted by leading advisory and analytical institutions (Deloitte/World Economic Forum), there are approximately 10 million vacancies related to production. Lack of production workers who are able to work effectively in ‘digitalized plant’ can have negative impact on automation of processes as well as their general progress. Even worse, generation change in industry is getting more and more noticeable in its negative aspect. Employees with huge experience, and often with unique knowledge, are thinking of retiring. It’s getting more difficult to find people willing to replace them.
On the one hand, businesses are trying to implement programs aimed at attracting potential employees. On the other hand, they are looking for innovative solutions allowing faster staff training and more efficient access to expertise. Additionally, current tasks demand support to be performed more effectively. This is where Augmented Reality (AR) comes in with a helping hand. For many, it is a substantial driving force which allows developing business activities and achieving the goals which were hard to reach before.
Augmented Reality (AR) has introduced a new era of efficiency, mobility and connection, allowing for optimization of current processes, cost, time, service, products, and as a result, work itself. As it can be observed, those activities have been in progress, as if, on many fronts. Digitalization development which has been brought by AR, allows combining all the elements together by way of: improvement/development of A influences improvement/development of B, and this one, consequently, on C. Western industry already realized it a long time ago. According to Statista platform, the number of glasses allowing for the use of Augmented Reality is going to increase up to over 26 million pieces till 2022.
Currently, we can distinguish a few main areas where AR technology has been in use:
AR as a technology supporting plenty of business functioning areas is sure to be able to improve efficiency of different activities. Additionally, it can also manage expertise and share it much more effectively.
Industry is less and less often afraid of solutions using innovative technologies but still the common fear of change (and monitoring) prevails over potential solutions for the competence gap problem. Obviously, Augmented Reality is not going to overcome the problem of the lack of well-qualified staff entirely. However, it can reduce the negative results of the situation, providing new technological opportunities for supporting human in numerous aspects of their work.
Augmented Reality has helped the manufacturing industry in numerous ways. One of the significant benefits is that it allows workers to visualize and interact with digital models of products and processes in real time. This helps in identifying errors and potential issues in the production process, which can be corrected before they lead to wastage of resources.
The new opportunities associated with Industry 4.0 require companies to adapt to the new environment. In this article, we take a closer look at the current situation in the automotive industry, discuss the challenges it faces and the opportunities offered by digital transformation.
Modern technologies are starting to affect literally every industry. Even though most activities related to Augmented Reality (AR) are in their infancy when it comes to industry, we know from our own experience that the first implementations are the most important ones. These very implementations make a lot more people aware of the benefits of using AR. This applies to the logistics industry as well, even though it might seem to be much less industrial. In practice, just like other industries, it focuses on quality and efficiency.
Modern technology is constantly changing, with newer and newer products, which develop services and the effectiveness of specialists' work coming out constantly. Since recently we have had the opportunity to work with the new AR headset – Magic Leap. These advanced glasses, presented in 2018, allow users to utilise AR technology in a completely new way, thus becoming a strong competitor to other AR glasses.

A person in need will find a way. As it turns out sometimes even the most advanced solutions need a “lightweight” version. We can safely assume this is the case of Assisted Reality, which delivers 2D content (images, text or videos) to users instead of immersive 3D graphics. This simpler solution, however, is exactly what […]
In 1984, James Cameron’s “Terminator” hit the screens, keeping millions or billions of viewers on the edge of their seats.
