DELMIA Augmented Experience

Industrial augmented reality (AR) works by overlaying digital information, such as 3D models, work instructions, or inspection data, onto real-world equipment to guide operators during manufacturing tasks.

A typical industrial AR workflow includes four steps:
1.    Prepare the digital content. AR work instructions are created using engineering data and the 3D model (virtual twin) of the product.
2.    Configure the AR workflow. The instructions are organized into step-by-step operations for tasks such as assembly, quality inspection or maintenance.
3.    Deploy the experience to shopfloor devices. Operators access the AR instructions through industrial devices such as tablets, smart glasses, projectors or other camera-based systems.
4.    Guide execution and capture data. The system aligns digital content with the physical environment to guide the operator, validate steps, and record execution data for traceability.
 

Solutions such as DELMIA Augmented Experience connect these AR workflows with engineering and manufacturing data, helping ensure that work instructions remain consistent with product definitions and production processes.
 

DELMIA Augmented Experience is compatible with both 3DEXPERIENCE cloud and on-premise deployments. This flexibility allows manufacturers to choose the deployment model that best fits their IT strategy, security requirements, and operational constraints. Whether deployed in the cloud or on premise, the solution provides the same capabilities to create, deploy, and manage augmented reality work instructions across industrial environments.

Industrial augmented reality is becoming a key technology for connecting digital information, such as engineering data and virtual twins, with shopfloor operations. Modern AR solutions increasingly guide operators during assembly, quality inspection and maintenance using digital work instructions delivered through tablets, smart glasses or other industrial devices. Combined with artificial intelligence and computer vision, industrial AR will help manufacturers improve right-first-time execution, accelerate training, capture expert knowledge and enhance productivity across manufacturing operations.

DELMIA Augmented Experience provides an authoring environment to create and manage AR work instructions, with the ability to reuse existing engineering data and update content efficiently as products or processes evolve. The solution also allows automated creation and update of AR work instructions. 
 

Augmented reality assembly helps assembly lines by overlaying step-by-step visual instructions directly onto the physical workspace, reducing the need for paper manuals or separate screens. This improves accuracy and consistency, as workers can follow precise guidance and avoid mistakes. It also speeds up training and production time, since employees can learn tasks faster and complete them more efficiently.
