The report looks at the value of IoT-AR solutions across more than 30 industrial, design, device management, organizational structure, and investment return use cases. It also provides an in-depth analysis of both a service parts repair scenario and a warehouse setting, displaying how a combined IoT-AR solution can augment, enhance, and revolutionize process management.
Employee connectivity and remote collaboration are especially critical during the COVID-19 crisis, when industrial companies must enable offsite and on-site employees to collaborate and maintain business continuity. IoT and AR can augment those efforts. To help organizations realize the benefits of AR during the COVID-19 crisis, PTC is offering versions of its Vuforia® Chalk™ remote experience software to manufacturing organizations free of charge for a limited time.
“This report provides a full-scale look at the benefits that can be derived from IoT-AR integration,” said Zia Yusuf, managing director and senior partner of Internet of Things projects, BCG. “We believe that the results of our survey and the findings of the report make clear that the integration of both technologies is crucial to achieving success in this highly digitized environment.”
