Immersive Technologies in Manufacturing – FENG Webinar with Markus Rimmele

In this episode of the DigitalituM Podcast, I discuss the use of immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in the manufacturing industry during a webinar hosted by the Financial Executives Networking Group (#FENG), a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1991.

Immersive Technologies as Solutions for Manufacturing Challenges

The manufacturing industry faces challenges like labor shortages and inefficient processes. Immersive technologies provide practical solutions: AR can deliver real-time support in field service, while VR helps visualize complex machinery and revolutionizes technical training. These tools improve efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize workflows.

Looking Ahead

Future developments like improved hardware, IoT connectivity, and digital twins will further enhance the potential of these technologies. Small and medium manufacturers, in particular, can benefit from external consultants to successfully navigate their digital transformation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Immersive technologies boost efficiency and competitiveness.
  • AR and VR offer solutions for field service, machinery visualization, and training.
  • The future lies in IoT and digital twins.
