Here are some of their XR solutions that could greatly help manufacturing operations
Plutomen ARMS:
An Augmented Reality based Platform for peer-to-peer collaboration & remote assistance. It will alter the way Service Field Engineers & technicians work on MRO (Maintenance, repair and operations) practices and on the job Training.
ARMS platform allows you to intervene remotely, in real-time, carry out ordinary maintenance procedures or resolve technical failures. Collaboration among workers is a key driver for including AR technology into enterprise systems and processes. The display of real-time 3D annotations on environments and objects help teams solve problems efficiently and with no extra relocation costs.
The platform can be used from preventive maintenance, inspection, Problem identification & Troubleshooting, On-the Job training, & quick fixes.
Plutomen ARMS is a combination of VoIP, Computer Vision and Augmented Reality. We have used AR Core for Android and AR Kit for iOS. This makes the platform more stable & adaptable. Going forward AI and IoT features will also be added to the platform. The solution is available currently in Mobiles & Tablets. We will be extending this platform to Web and Smart AR Glasses.
