Introduction
VR technology is gradually transforming the face of manufacturing industry, and they are quickly becoming a new user service interface for workshop workers, technical service personnel and engineers.
VR will become an important production tool and greatly improve production efficiency. VR can significantly improve product research and development capabilities and production efficiency. Many domestic and foreign companies are already providing tutoring services to users with the help of VR, which greatly saves costs while improving the quality of after-sales service. ”
01 VR/AR is applied to all links of manufacturing
In recent years, many enterprises' information investment has been put into management, including development and design, software platforms, management information systems, BI, CRM, SCM and other fields, but they often ignore the front-line manufacturing and production
. VR/AR is a very important tool to empower front-line employees. It can convey the correct information to the right people in the right way at the right time. Digital models help employees deepen their understanding of the physical world. In implementation in specific scenarios, AR tools can help on-site decision-making, assist process operations, guide maintenance, improve training efficiency, etc. There are many scenarios that AR can empower, which can further release the productivity of the enterprise.
1. Factory planning
design new products production line layout is a very intensive and complex task, which requires engineers to balance a lot of factors at the same time. It involves each device The operating rhythm, as well as the space size requirements for equipment maintenance, tool storage, etc. Any mistake in the planning stage of
may lead to inefficiency and difficulty in remediation. The planning of
production line is the result of a cooperative effort, which involves the coordinated completion of multiple departments, including engineering construction, control system and subsystem planning.
uses VR technology to build a factory model as a whole, helping them avoid many questions Question. It can not only simulate the overall layout, but also simulate all production and manufacturing processes that occur within the factory.
Jiangxi Xinborui Technology Co., Ltd. uses VR technology to realize simulation modeling of process equipment and process processes, and the production efficiency is increased by more than 20%. Lianbao (Hefei) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. uses Yingchuang Technology MR smart glasses for quality inspection, greatly reducing the losses caused by equipment failure and shutdown of enterprises...

2. Assembly
In many aspects, VR technology represents the natural evolution of computer-aided design technology. The advantage of VR is that it provides new ways to observe products and their production and manufacturing processes. VR assembly technology can help engineers make decisions on product design without the need for actual product prototypes.
VR technology can also be used to effectively study bottlenecks and potential ergonomic problems in manual assembly before the final implementation work is carried out.

3. Maintenance
In terms of maintenance operations, VR applications have some unique advantages. For example, in planning a maintenance plan for a new product or entire production line. In terms of training, VR provides maintenance personnel with the opportunity to become familiar with the new equipment before the new equipment is installed.

In addition, in order to ensure that the maintenance process can be carried out in a timely manner and destroy other operations as little as possible, manufacturers can conduct simulated maintenance operations in virtual workshops and evaluate different strategies in general. Slightly impact on production.
4. Training and inspection
Currently, the application of AR/VR technology in the manufacturing field can be roughly divided into two major directions: skill training and equipment inspection. Among them, the application method of VR in skill training is fully immersive, which can provide trainees with a comprehensive virtual training environment, and is not affected by their location, which can effectively solve the operational risks and hidden dangers caused by directly starting manufacturing equipment without training.
AR can superimpose virtual operation information on the actual device in real time without affecting the normal line of sight of the user, which can not only provide real-time operation guidance, but also perform high-precision positioning and real-time data annotation during equipment inspection.

5. Remote assistance
in the early days. The most typical application of AR/VR in the manufacturing industry was mainly remote assistance. During the epidemic, due to travel restrictions, it was used a lot, which indeed improved efficiency and reduced costs for enterprises. With the popularity of 5G and the continuous deepening of 's digital transformation of , other applications based on AR technology in the manufacturing industry are constantly enriching, such as standard operations ARIoT, AR marketing, etc., allowing the manufacturing field personnel to truly achieve seamless connection with the backend data brain.

AR/VR has been deeply involved in all aspects of the manufacturing industry, including design, construction, production, operation and operation and maintenance, and has gradually begun to be applied. VR can already be paperless during the design stage, allowing the design solution to achieve "what you see is what you get".
is used in virtual design, assembly, simulation and virtual prototypes. VR can reduce the design error rate, thereby making the design more reasonable, the assembly efficiency is improved, the testing cost is reduced, and potential problems are discovered. In the production and operation stage, VR/AR, as the data base of the digital twin, can help customers to manage the equipment throughout the life cycle, and help customers achieve "cost reduction and efficiency increase";
can help customers solve the problems of "three highs and four difficulties" in real training (high costs, high risks, high pollution, difficult to see, difficult to reproduce, difficult to operate, and difficult to intervene) in real training; in the actual production process of manufacturing, the error rate is reduced by 85%, and the assembly speed is increased by 40%.
02 Large-scale applications still face many challenges
AR/VR has huge application space in the manufacturing industry, but with the current application level, it is still in the initial stage of 0 to 1.
On the one hand, AR/VR software and hardware technology itself is not yet mature, and there is still a big gap from the goal of safety, efficiency and comfort. "On the supply side, compared with software, the maturity of VR/AR-related wearable hardware products is far from reaching the level of large-scale application. The industrial field has high requirements for hardware stability, accuracy and endurance, which requires breakthrough development based on multi-disciplinary technologies such as optics, batteries, and even materials, but the current technical level cannot meet the strict requirements of complex sites.
On the other hand, applying AR/VR to the industrial manufacturing field faces many technical problems of combining scenarios, models and equipment. Through VR/AR equipment in real time to collect, integrate, process and analyze data in different manufacturing scenarios, specialized AR/VR technologies are needed for different manufacturing characteristics, and composite talents who understand both VR/AR and manufacturing are needed.
applies AR/VR to the manufacturing industry to accelerate the breakthrough from 0 to 1 to 100. The VR industry is on the way and is also looking forward to more industrial chains to carry it.
As the content is constantly enriched and 5G network is put into commercial use, AR/VR technology will be more refined in the different vertical attributes of the manufacturing industry, and will also be more closely integrated with artificial intelligence technology and Internet of Things technology to realize automated connection between design and manufacturing, shorten the production cycle of , and reduce production labor costs.
