An area where the deployment of mixed reality is of significant benefit is quality control. Quality inspection with mixed reality both directly in the manufacturing process and during product audits or acceptance and other activities. Augmented reality quality control is the future of effective and reliable inspection that is not solely dependent on the human factor.
By appropriate application in a serial process, human error can be significantly reduced or eliminated altogether, actively pointing out problematic areas on a manufactured part and guiding inspection through a standard procedure. Inspection data can then be easily recorded, documented, analyzed and exported in the desired output format.
Implementation of this technology is possible in any part of your process. Starting with the incoming inspection – where, for example, the operator will have detailed instructions on what characteristics need to be checked on the material/component, as well as information on the scope of the inspection (quantity from packaging, delivery, etc.). Similarly, it is possible to use this technology for in-process inspection as well as for product auditing.
The impact on the customer is also a significant factor in this area. The monitoring of key parameters using this modern technology will be appreciated by many an auditor.
Are you interested in significant quality improvements? Can you think of other possibilities? Feel free to contact us at info@cmoore.cz, FB or Twitter. We would be happy to discuss the issue with you and demonstrate the basic application of MR/AR in the field of quality.
Augmented reality quality control is far from the only use of this technology. If you want to read more about AR/MR, then visit the articles in our Blog.
