Summary

There's plenty of hype around augmented reality systems that provide the exact know-how a worker needs at critical moments and artificial intelligence technologies to boost productivity. But, after the sales pitch, how useful are those technologies in a real-world setting? Are they truly solving the problems you face on a daily basis? Can your average company even get them to work properly? 

Join us to uncover the answers to those questions as we separate the real-world successes from the marketing hype around AR and AI.

In this session, you will:

  • Discover the true impact AR and AI can have on manufacturing processes
  • Learn from specific customer success stories that highlight real use cases
  • Understand how these technologies can solve problems like efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability in industrial equipment manufacturing
  • Gain actional insights, real-world examples, and a clearer perspective on whether investing in AR and AI is the right move for your business.
