Here's how augmented reality is a game-changer for the automotive industry

Disruptions are the driving forces in automotive manufacturing processes. With rising expectations in performance, quality, and safety, OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) strive to achieve industry standards while optimizing productivity and efficiency.

Monitor production lines in real time

Using Zoho Lens, the industrial augmented reality software, production control specialists can quickly check the assembly status at each workstation and guide engineers from any location by directly accessing their smartphone cameras.

How it works

 

Get Connected

Supervisors can start or schedule a remote session with a field technician from any device and send them an invite through SMS or email or by sending them the join link.

 

See what your engineer sees

Once the engineer joins the session, you can check the status of automobile assembly through their live camera stream.

 

Collaborate through text, voice chat, and AR tools

During the session, supervisors and engineers can express their thoughts and ideas through text or voice chat. With AR annotations, they can draw focus to crucial areas on the stream and provide step-by-step instructions.

Optimize your automotive operations with these key features

Live camera streaming

Production control specialists can access any smartphone or smart glass camera and view the camera stream through their preferred browser.

Highlight 3D objects

Supervisors and engineers can use AR tools during a remote session to draw shapes or place arrows directly on the live camera stream and bring attention to specific components or issues.

Text and voice chat

Supervisors can establish a steady stream of communication with auto engineers and electricians using the text and voice chat features.

Snapshots

Engineers involved in maintenance and repair of automated machines can take snapshots of the live camera stream during the session for future reference and analysis.

Multi-participant sessions

Engineers can invite professionals from other departments for help obtaining more information or fixing an automated machine remotely.

Integration

Process engineers can integrate Zoho Lens with their existing apps using API and mobile SDK to seamlessly initiate augmented reality sessions from their devices, effectively optimizing the automotive manufacturing process.

Live Text Scan

Automobile dealers can scan text on brochures and manuals while making a virtual marketing pitch to a customer and provide quick contextual information about the car on sale.

QR/Barcode Scan

Logistics staff can speed up the delivery process of automobile parts by scanning the QR codes/barcodes on tags and labels and dispatching them accordingly.

Freeze Camera Stream

Auto electricians can freeze the camera stream during wire harness assembly or other complex procedures and focus on giving detailed instructions to other engineers in the session.

Analytics

Automobile manufacturers can get an overview and detailed reports of the remote sessions initiated by the plant personnel and authorized service centers using the Session Analytics feature and identify areas of improvement within production, sales, and services.
