Augmented Reality in industrial maintenance

Augmented Reality is a technology that connects the real world with the digital world. It consists of superimposing digitally-generated images (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.) over real elements, maximising and enriching the information obtained from said environment..

The application ERIS by IDEA Ingeniería improves the operational maintenance processes, speeding up access to all the information of any and thus minimising the costs associated with plant maintenance..

Real-time data from the SCADA system of the equipment and plant elements can be visualised thanks to the platform’s connection to various data sources. .

It is possible to access thecomplete maintenance history of any plant element, introducing and managing incidents on site from the platform itself.

Documents relating to the elements are accessiblefrom the platform once the element or equipment has been identified because the platform is connected to the client’s correct data source.

It is possible to carry out AR simulations of plant equipment from the app sohe operator can operate certain mechanisms or change certain variables of the equipment, generating a 3D simulation of the equipment.

Incidents can be managed in real time via remote supportstreaming, meaning that the operator can contact a technical team which, thanks to the platform’s tools, can help the operator by means of annotations or marks on those specific elements on which the operator must act.
