Manufacturing AR-Guided Equipment Maintenance

Replace paper maintenance logs and tribal knowledge with AR-guided repair instructions, digital work orders, and predictive maintenance analytics.

The Business Challenge

Manufacturers lose production time to equipment downtime, slow technician training, and tribal knowledge that leaves when experienced workers retire.

Current Pain Points:

  • Paper Maintenance Logs: Lost records, illegible handwriting, no analytics
  • Tribal Knowledge: Critical repair know-how exists only in senior technicians' heads
  • Slow Technician Training: New hires take months to learn complex equipment repairs
  • Inefficient Repairs: Techs waste time searching manuals and consulting experts
  • No Predictive Maintenance: Reactive repairs lead to costly unplanned downtime
  • Parts Ordering Delays: Manual lookups slow down procurement process

What Success Looks Like:

  • AR overlay shows step-by-step repair instructions on equipment
  • Digital checklists guide technicians through maintenance procedures
  • Computer vision identifies parts and suggests replacements
  • Historical maintenance data enables predictive analytics
  • New technicians productive in weeks, not months
  • Reduced downtime and extended equipment lifespan
