The steel industry is in a critical period of digital transformation and upgrading. The emergence of the industrial metaverse technology represented by AR will bring a new path for the intelligent upgrading of the steel industry. From Made in China to "Smart" Made in China, new technologies of digital intelligence are helping traditional enterprises to transform and upgrade.
AR remote assistance technology is a technology that combines the real world and the virtual world. It can superimpose virtual information on the real scene to provide instant assistance and guidance. In steel production enterprises, AR remote assistance technology can provide enterprises with various conveniences.
After the first-line maintenance personnel arrive at the scene, they can check the equipment maintenance records in real time and quickly trace the historical problems of the equipment. When encountering problems that are difficult to solve, maintenance personnel can call technical experts through remote collaboration, and through remote collaboration capabilities such as first-person perspective sharing, AR annotation, real-time audio and video communication, and electronic whiteboards, they can accurately handle exceptions and reduce equipment non-stop time. Improve the availability and reliability of equipment, and improve the timeliness of problem solving.
Based on the deployed AR remote expert guidance system, maintenance workers can initiate audio and video calls with remote experts by wearing AR glasses, and collect and share the first-person view of the scene in real time. At the same time, experts can guide on-site workers to complete equipment installation, commissioning, repair and maintenance through functions such as voice guidance, screen annotation, and shared whiteboard based on the images collected on-site.
Enable remote training
AR remote assistance technology can present the guidance and training materials of remote experts to students in real time through 3D simulation technology, allowing students to conduct interactive learning in real scenes and apply them in real time.
cut costs
In the traditional steel production process, if it is necessary to dispatch professionals to the site for maintenance or debugging, it will take a lot of time and travel costs. And AR remote assistance technology can provide instant assistance and guidance remotely, reducing the cost of enterprises.
Improve efficiency
AR remote assistance technology can provide guidance and assistance remotely by professionals to help on-site staff perform maintenance or debugging, improve efficiency, reduce maintenance or debugging time, and shorten production cycles.
increase security
There are certain safety risks in iron and steel production enterprises. The use of AR remote assistance technology can give timely warnings when staff make mistakes, and give danger reminders before operations to increase the safety of maintenance.
"Compared with traditional video and voice calls, 5G+AR technology has the advantages of multi-person collaboration, convenient resource call, and accurate restoration of the scene, which will greatly improve work efficiency and reduce costs." Technician Lu Zhiqiang said, “When there are problems with the equipment that are difficult to solve, you can contact technical personnel at home and abroad for guidance through 5G+AR smart glasses. After troubleshooting, the work content can be saved as a video case, and data analysis reports can be obtained in real time for continuous improvement. Production process..." The successful application of 5G+AR technology has solved the pain points of the steel industry, such as "can't go, not enough people, unclear, difficult to cooperate", and provided a new solution for the industry to accelerate digital transformation.
The AR remote expert guidance system can not only save customers' travel support costs, but also improve the efficiency of equipment maintenance and maintenance, improve the production efficiency of enterprises in disguise, and achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase.
