Enhance Manufacturing Productivity and Operational Excellence with Magic Leap 2

Rapidly advancing technology has propelled the manufacturing industry into a fourth industrial revolution. To remain competitive in this new era, manufacturers must drive innovation and revamp inefficient processes while managing a retiring workforce and labor shortage.

Spatial computing can unlock innovation by transforming how employees work, train, and grow. Augmented reality (AR) embeds hyper-real visualizations into key manufacturing processes, removing friction and driving productivity across the factory floor.

Magic Leap 2 brings purpose-built enterprise AR to manufacturers with unparalleled realism. Whether it’s delivering real-time assembly guidance, quality control criteria, or training simulations inside the work environment, Magic Leap 2 enhances employee performance and maximizes operational efficiency.

Accelerated onboarding and training

Traditional modes of training in manufacturing are inefficient and difficult to scale, draining resources and demanding experienced workers’ time. Amidst a changing workforce and shortage of talent, bridging knowledge gaps can also impede production levels.

Magic Leap 2 accelerates new hire training with interactive AR-based orientations and learning modules. Technicians can learn about facilities, equipment, and safety protocols with spatially-anchored instructions and incredibly detailed 3D renderings integrated within their actual workspace.

As new technicians work on the factory floor, training modules integrate mechanical instructions in their field of view. Complex operations are broken down into easy-to-follow, step-by-step tasks. Missteps are automatically detected and corrected to accelerate learning without relying on experienced talent. This way, the most knowledgeable workers have more time to contribute directly to production targets.

Seasoned workers can also use Magic Leap 2 to learn new tasks and skills. Employees get hands-on practice in a risk-free environment to build their confidence. The 70-degree field of view and unmatched image performance make training simulations feel true-to-life.

AR-based training in Magic Leap 2 empowers manufacturers to educate their workforce on the latest advancements at scale. This modernized approach to development supports talent acquisition and retention as well, while also driving down training time and costs.

Expert assistance on demand

For manufacturers working with lean teams, on-site support isn’t always available to resolve production issues. Without oversight from experts, these challenges can turn into bottlenecks, costly mistakes, and safety risks.

Manufacturers can download Magic Leap Assist to scale knowledge from anywhere, at any moment. Technicians can connect to remote experts for live guidance that accelerates hands-on problem solving and training. When expert support is available on-demand, employees at all levels can perform maintenance, diagnostic services, and repairs across the factory floor.

Magic Leap Assist enables users to share their real-world environment to troubleshoot with experts in real time. The expert appears in a window within the headset’s interface. From their own device, the expert can add instruction labels, arrows, and live annotations directly within the user’s field of view, anchoring them to specific objects and components. As experts and technicians collaborate remotely, they can use proprietary Dynamic Dimming™ technology to ensure virtual elements aren’t washed out under bright industrial lighting.

Scaling on-call support with Magic Leap 2 reduces the travel expenses and slowdowns associated with bringing specialists on-site. Instant access to expert guidance using Magic Leap 2 minimizes downtime and errors, improving safety training and on-the-job learning.

AR-based operational excellence

Every minute matters in manufacturing in order to meet production targets. However, inefficient manual processes make it challenging to keep operations moving. Multiple rounds of physical product prototyping drive up delivery time and costs. Consulting paper-based manuals takes technicians out of the flow of work, and analog quality control processes are time-intensive and error-prone. These inefficiencies come at the expense of production levels, cost optimization, and customer satisfaction.

Design teams can use Magic Leap 2 to validate new product designs by embedding digital prototypes into real-world contexts. With digitized prototyping, teams can easily collaborate and align with customers before creating physical models.

To replace the need for physical manuals, Magic Leap 2 brings digital guidance right into the work environment. As they work, technicians can reference schematics and instructions with real-time feedback to improve accuracy and efficiency. Magic Leap 2 is lightweight and ergonomically designed for prolonged daily use, so these digital process improvements won't compromise employees' comfort in production environments.

Teams can upgrade quality control processes by using Magic Leap 2 to overlay inspection criteria directly onto physical objects. The technology guides technicians through inspection with visual cues that highlight defects to reduce faulty products.

With Magic Leap 2, manufacturers can leverage the AR-based experiences that make sense for their workflows. The platform’s developer-friendly Android ecosystem and partner network make the technology open and flexible. From the design lab to the assembly line, Magic Leap 2 bolsters manufacturing processes with digital content to improve workforce productivity, operational excellence, and customer relationships.
