How Augmented Reality Can Help Life Sciences Manufacturing

Augmented reality (AR) is an essential component for digital transformation in life sciences. It is important to understand the areas of your organization that could benefit most from AR – as well as how you can leverage it to drive tangible benefits. As hardware such as Microsoft’s HoloLens and Google Glass have developed into enterprise-ready solutions and use of mobile devices is now ever more ubiquitous, implementing AR has become substantially less onerous over time.

Augmented reality is a powerful technology that accelerates onboarding, transforms learning and training practices, enables remote support and collaboration, and drives productivity improvements. In a new normal that is increasingly virtual, augmented reality marries the physical world and the digital world, empowering frontline workers in the factory and in the field. It delivers many benefits including:

1. Support for business continuity
2. Working with existing plant machinery
3. Helping to expand the range of possibilities
4. Reducing the financial burden of training
5. Enhancing broader digital transformation efforts
