Aircada

Aircada is an augmented reality platform developed by the Aircada Team. According to the vendor, this platform is designed for industrial data visualization and monitoring. It is intended for use by small to large enterprises in various industries, including industrial maintenance, electrical engineering, manufacturing, facilities management, aerospace, and automotive. The Aircada platform offers several key features that aim to enhance operations and improve efficiency in these industries.

Monitor: According to the vendor, Aircada allows users to create a connected map of their entire facility and access augmented reality (AR) content with a single scan. The vendor claims that the setup time is competitive, enabling users to spatially map multiple rooms and have live data ready to view in less than an hour.

Navigate: The Aircada platform eliminates the need for expensive and specialized 3D scanners or QR codes, as stated by the vendor. Instead, users can utilize their phone or tablet with advanced spatial AI technology to scan anywhere and quickly find the information they need.

Facility-Wide AR: Aircada enables users to create a connected map of their entire facility, making all AR content viewable with a single scan, according to the vendor. The platform has a quick setup time and does not require any additional hardware.

AR Content Creation: According to the vendor, Aircada empowers users in the utility industry to create AR content, including photorealistic replicas of real-world objects. The platform supports the creation of 3D models for various utility industry use cases, allowing professionals to visualize and interact with digital representations of physical assets.

Remote Expert Assistance: Aircada allows field technicians to connect with remote experts in real-time, as claimed by the vendor. By sharing their live view through AR, technicians can receive step-by-step instructions and guidance from experts, enhancing collaboration and problem-solving capabilities.

Data Collection: The Aircada platform simplifies data collection in the field using AR technology, according to the vendor. Field technicians can use their smartphones to capture data from utility equipment, recording values and measurements directly into spreadsheets for easy data management.

Mapping Underground Utility Lines: Aircada offers AR capabilities for mapping and visualizing underground utility lines, as stated by the vendor. Field technicians can overlay 3D utility lines onto real-world locations, facilitating accurate location and management of underground utility infrastructure.

Vegetation Documentation and Identification: According to the vendor, Aircada supports the documentation and identification of vegetation in utility operations. Field technicians can use AR to scan the environment and create maps of vegetation data. The platform leverages image recognition to identify vegetation, enabling the creation of 2D and 3D maps for vegetation management.

Trench Inspection: Aircada provides AR tools for inspecting trenches in the utility industry, according to the vendor. Field technicians can visualize trenches in a 3D space, reducing the risk of damaging underground infrastructure during excavation.

Increased Safety Through Visual Geofencing: Aircada enables the implementation of visual geofencing for improved safety, as claimed by the vendor. Field workers can use AR to see danger zones highlighted in real-time, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring worker safety in hazardous areas.
