Transcripts
the advantage of the holland 2 in the
design process is mostly in the
validation phase when the designer needs
to know
whether his or her design is really a
fit for
industrialization and this is hugely
accelerated
by 80 on the manufacturing side
we use hollands2 to enable the the
workers
to achieve complex tasks or tasks that
require an intense reading
of documentation well finally they're
hands-free and they can access
complex areas they can handle heavy
heavy parts while having all the
information they need
right in front of their eyes so we
strongly believe that mixed reality can
bring improvements up to 30
percent of some of our industrial tasks
2016 we remove all the people from the
plant
and we implement digital work orders
with tablets
but it's not only paperless it's more
than that is
to to control and manage all the
production
from the tablet this allowed us to
reduce the lead times
and we improve our efficiency
digitalization is reducing
time and cost for the inspection
activities
and now we are able to compare the real
aircraft with democrats on the spot
giving the information to the expert of
any
issue we found and give from him the
solution
just in the time a few years ago
we started with digital orders on
tablets
it was incredible chance and
improvements at the wayward
used to work in february we started work
with the
reality glasses hololens for the
installation of cables
in the conversion of an rdd we are
producing
at the level of 80 or 90 work orders now
with
hololens and we plan to implement this
system during this year
for the 50 of our work orders
mainly electrical installation and
hydraulic installations
