– Emerson (NYSE:EMR) has recently introduced augmented reality (AR) technology to
its Plantweb™ Optics asset performance platform, delivering enhanced access to real-time
diagnostics and analytics, as well as live remote assistance, to industrial plant workers
responsible for maintaining and optimizing plant equipment. With AR technology
integrated into Plantweb Optics, companies can improve productivity, collaboration and
operational performance, without being limited by shortages of skilled workers or travel
restrictions.
“Successful digital transformation programs that lead to Top Quartile performance have
people and work practices as a key focus. Adopting innovative technology like augmented
reality and institutionalizing best practices enable workers to add more value than ever to
operational and business performance,” said Stuart Harris, group president for Emerson’s
digital transformation business. “With these new Plantweb Optics technologies, customers
can experience significant improvements in equipment reliability and the safety of their facilities.”
Plantweb Optics leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning analytics and data
contextualization to provide real-time visibility into plant reliability and operational
performance. Unlike standalone AR solutions that require custom engineering, AR is
integrated into Plantweb Optics, providing immediate access to a wealth of data and
translating into easier, less costly implementation and a faster return on investment. For
use by manufacturers in the life sciences, food and beverage, chemical, metals and mining,
power and water, pulp and paper and energy industries, Plantweb Optics is part of
Emerson’s award-winning Plantweb™ digital ecosystem of technologies, software and
services.
Augmented reality for Plantweb Optics transforms the way field technicians accomplish
complex tasks through enhanced situational awareness, live remote assistance and
analytics delivered in context of the plant. As a field technician walks an industrial plant
with a mobile device, Plantweb Optics uses spatial computing technology to map assets
and provide technicians with critical maintenance information relevant to their location.
Plantweb Optics overlays real-time analytics, equipment health status and technical
support documentation on their field of view, so technicians can safely resolve issues sooner.
The augmented and virtual reality market is projected to grow annually at 40% from 2017
through 2025, according to multiple research reports. Much of this spending will come from
manufacturers around the globe using AR technology to help upskill their workforce for digitalized operations.
With live remote assistance, field technicians can be virtually shadowed by experts, either
on-site or off-site, from Emerson, their own company or another service provider. Experts
can talk, type or augment the technician’s mobile display with graphics to guide the next action. Live remote assistance enables technicians and experts to collaborate for safe troubleshooting and repairs, regardless of location and without travel costs. Live remote
assistance sessions, best practices and notes from experienced engineers and step-by-step
troubleshooting procedures can be logged into a knowledge library for use by all engineers
at a site. The knowledge library is a resource for companies to standardize procedures and
ensure engineers of all experience levels understand an asset’s history and are using best
practices for safe, efficient operations.
