Audi using augmented reality to increase efficiency in logistics planning
Summary
The virtual presentation of three dimensional holograms that are shown in their actual environment helps planners to better evaluate the future situation. LayAR visualizes this “digital twin” as a three‑dimensional hologram in the AR device and projects it in life size in the actual environment. This year, the AR devices have become a permanent part of the logistics planners’ “toolbox.” Through this, their work is made more efficient and can begin significantly earlier: For example, experts in the Ingolstadt body shop are currently planning machine technology for using an innovative driverless transport system, long before the first automated guided vehicles will be delivered. A Supply Chain Planning project team tested the new software together with development partner Viscopic for a number of months. LayAR makes it possible for planners to miniaturize virtually the entire setup of the hall to the point where it can be projected onto a desk.
