AR Smart Maintenance and Equipment Assistance System
Manufacturing & Industrial
Project Overview
Next AR Tech, a child company of Krazio Cloud, built a powerful AR solution to streamline industrial maintenance and reduce operational downtime. The system enhances technician performance by combining digital intelligence with real-world context, offering visual cues and guidance directly through augmented reality. By transforming traditional maintenance workflows into interactive and data-driven processes, the solution delivers a modern approach to equipment management and field operations.
Challenge
Industrial companies often struggle with the complexity of maintaining heavy machinery and equipment across multiple facilities. Field technicians face difficulties identifying faults quickly, following lengthy maintenance manuals, and accessing expert guidance in real time. Equipment downtime caused by slow troubleshooting leads to significant financial losses. Additionally, training new technicians is time-intensive, and ensuring consistent repair standards across teams remains a major challenge. Companies needed a digital solution to enhance efficiency, reduce human error, and provide instant access to expert insights.
Solution
Next AR Tech developed an advanced AR maintenance and equipment assistance system that enables technicians to visualize repair procedures directly on the machinery through AR overlays. The solution integrates real-time guidance, 3D part visualization, and interactive step-by-step instructions accessible via smart glasses or mobile devices. It also allows remote experts to assist technicians virtually by viewing live feeds and providing AR-based annotations. This technology reduces guesswork, accelerates problem resolution, and ensures accuracy across maintenance operations. The system is designed to be scalable and compatible with various industrial sectors including automotive, energy, and manufacturing.
Results
Companies using the AR maintenance system experienced a 50 percent reduction in downtime and a 35 percent improvement in first-time fix rates. Technicians completed tasks faster and more accurately, while remote support reduced the need for on-site experts. The platform also improved knowledge retention during training, resulting in a more skilled and confident workforce.
Next AR Tech revolutionized how our maintenance teams work. The AR guidance system reduced downtime dramatically and made training new staff more efficient. The technology’s accuracy and ease of use have made it an essential part of our operations.
