Digitalization Applications
Global industry, including steel, faces parallel crises of worsening shortage of skilled workers with accelerated retirement rates of skilled trades holding critical knowledge. Add to these challenges the evolution of communication preferences from written words to digital imagery. State-of-the-art augmented reality (AR) systems are proven to ease these challenges.
This non-commercial paper will provide data of the challenges along with a practical overview of current AR technology, evidence of how AR has and can ease challenges of skills, available time, retaining knowledge, safety and bridging generational challenges, amongst others.
