Augmented reality (AR) has revolutionized how we connect and interact by overlaying digital information onto real-world scenarios. As these two realms merge, the business landscape has been completely transformed. The rise of augmented reality in the corporate world has compelled many sectors to adopt unique strategies to meet targets, streamline operations, and address challenges. One of the advantages of augmented reality is its ability to minimize risk, prompting high-risk industries to embrace this technology rapidly.  

How do High-Risk Industries Benefit from Augmented Reality? 

  • Reduces Errors:

AR has enabled organizations to create a tailored learning environment for each trainee. This approach allows trainees to practice their tasks repeatedly through simulations, reducing the likelihood of errors. 

  • Ensures Worker Safety:

In high-risk jobs, AR wearables allow workers to practice tasks in a risk-free environment. It eliminates concerns about personal injury and enables them to focus on perfecting their skills.

 

  • Protects equipment:

Organizations can deploy AR devices to create digital replicas of their equipment, ensuring both equipment and worker safety.  

Applications of AR across high-risk sectors 

Training 

As mentioned above, AR devices eliminate the need for physical equipment, allowing employees to be trained effectively through simulations. In high-risk industries, such as oil and gas, AR-based simulations enable employees to perform complex tasks in a controlled environment. This approach significantly reduces the risk of injuries and accidents that could occur during the training process. 

Remote Assistance and Collaboration  

Field workers often face situations that require professional guidance. However, relying on traditional communication methods can lead to operational delays, as experts need to travel to the site to resolve issues. The emergence of AR has allowed workers to connect and collaborate with technical experts in remote locations, seeking guidance in real-time. As a result, companies can save costs, streamline operations, and prevent production delays. 

Safety Training  

Safety training is crucial in high-risk sectors. AR in safety training enables field workers to experience dangerous situations in a controlled environment. Those in the utility sector, particularly oil and gas, often encounter complex and risky scenarios while handling equipment and machinery, especially in harsh weather and turbulent seas. In this context, AR serves as a valuable tool for enhancing worker safety. 

Inspection and Quality Assurance 

Quality assurance and inspection are vital processes for ensuring high-quality output and organizational success. However, inspections are often conducted at the end of a process. Augmented reality allows organizations to schedule remote inspections, eliminating the need for experts to travel and optimizing costs.
