BOSTON, MA, Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the Augmented Reality for Enterprise Alliance (AREA) published a new research report entitled The Adoption of Real-Time AR-assisted Inspections for Quality and Compliance. The report examines the barriers to adopting Augmented Reality (AR) to assist or enhance inspections for quality and compliance and proposes approaches to addressing them.
“AR-assisted inspections can greatly benefit aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and healthcare industries due to intricate processes and inspection protocols, strict safety and quality compliance guidelines, and the high cost of downtime,” said AREA Executive Director Mark Sage. “AR solutions enhance task performance, reduce mental workload for frontline users, minimize errors, and allow for better utilization of resources.”
Common barriers to the adoption of AR-assisted inspections include:
- Technological barriers can be mitigated by establishing innovation hubs outside of their IT infrastructure to enable close evaluation of potential AR solutions for quality and compliance inspections.
- Economic barriers can be addressed by implementing scalable proofs-of-concept (POCs) that show tangible ROI for solutions using data and performance-driven KPIs. This showcases the potential savings and efficiency gains and provides flexible pricing models and financial incentives to lower the initial investment barrier.
- Organizational barriers require effective change management strategies. These include engaging stakeholders at all levels, providing comprehensive training programs, and designing intuitive, user-friendly AR solutions.
- Collaboration with governing and compliance bodies to establish clear guidelines and standards for AR-assisted inspections can mitigate regulatory and compliance barriers.
