Vuforia Augmented Reality Work Instructions

Digital work instructions are an evolution of traditional, paper-based instructions that take written instructions, photos, graphs, and other critical information for frontline workers on a tablet. However, this method of instruction is missing key context.

The evolution of digital work instructions is augmented reality work instructions, which overlay critical information onto the real world. Workers no longer need to compare 2D images or information on a 2D screen with the real 3D product. Companies can also leverage existing 3D CAD, PLM, and IoT data to add even more valuable information for workers, where and when they need it. AR work instructions can be easily authored, deployed, and scaled across an organization.

Augmented reality work instructions can be created and implemented in several different ways. If an organization has existing CAD and PLM data, it can be leveraged to accelerate the creation of model-based AR work instructions. For companies without CAD data, experts can capture their knowledge on the job, from a first-person perspective, and have it easily authored into instructions.

These AR work instructions can be implemented by publishing them cross-platform on tablets, phones, and AR headsets, which offers implementation flexibility for organizations to utilize the devices they already have.
