Augmented Worker Guidance with Atlas Copco

New technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality enable new and exciting possibilities for industrial applications. For example, non-trained individuals can carry out tasks that would require an expert. These tasks can be, e.g., installation, service routines, and visualization of components. In a customer-facing context, these solutions could visualize machine vision process results, such as marking defects or identifying components and parts.

The solutions we seek can be software or a combination of hardware and software. The software should be able to create needed visualizations and be expandable to consider expanding the system with new instructions for expert commissioning. The hardware can include a combination of cameras, displays, laser pointers, mobile devices, or AR/VR glasses.

Atlas Copco ISRA VISION is looking for partnering startups that can provide augmented worker guidance for complex downstream tasks, such as guiding the work of the on-site technician or helping the end customer identify parts or components. We are open to co-development using ISRA VISION’s industry-leading machine vision for image detection and your AR interfaces. We are available for solutions ranging from software to hardware and software.

Significance: Significant commercial potential exists in upskilling non-trained persons and enabling experts to commission or service complex industrial systems. A successful solution can be scaled to Atlas Copco sites and numerous customer facilities globally.
