It offers real-time visualization of digital content superimposed on real products, aiming to improve productivity, quality, and traceability for companies in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Manufacturing engineers, production managers, quality control inspectors, and maintenance technicians in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, heavy machinery, and consumer goods are among the target users of DELMIA Augmented Experience.

Key Features

Assembly: This feature guides operators step-by-step through the assembly process using 3D visualization and augmented reality technology. According to the vendor, it superimposes virtual information on the real environment to display digital assembly instructions directly on the product, aiming to ensure traceability and objective documentation of production activities.

Quality Inspection: With this feature, operators are guided through the inspection process with digital instructions contextualized in the work environment. According to the vendor, augmented reality technology significantly improves the accuracy and speed of quality control and inspection processes by providing real-time information to reduce mistakes and make informed decisions.

Maintenance: This feature aims to assist technicians and quality managers in diagnosing and solving problems faster. According to the vendor, it reduces service costs and increases customer satisfaction with reliable and accurate augmented reality technology. Maintenance operations are guided with interactive step-by-step instructions displayed in AR directly on the part, aiming to enhance accuracy and precision.

Replacement of Layers and Templates: According to the vendor, this feature improves complex punching and cutting operations by replacing 2D layers with digital templates. It aims to reduce errors and preparatory tasks by displaying digital templates directly projected on the structure. Operators can easily position elements such as pins, harnesses, velcro, resistors, or structural parts, potentially reducing template costs and decreasing the time required for preparatory phases.

Control Upon Arrival of Assembled Equipment: This feature, according to the vendor, displays digital inspection instructions through augmented reality (AR) for faster and more complete incoming inspections. It captures all checkpoints for compliance, ensures the completeness of the task, and enables quick identification of defects. Automatic inspection reports are generated to streamline the inspection and reporting process.

Assistance to Disassembly & Reassembly: According to the vendor, this feature guides operators through disassembly and reassembly tasks with interactive digital work instructions. Step-by-step instructions are displayed in AR directly on the part, aiming to improve efficiency and minimize errors. It aims to ensure that maintenance tasks are performed correctly the first time, potentially reducing the likelihood of rework or additional repairs.

Assistance to Painting Operations: Operators are assisted in painting operations with digital instructions displayed in the work environment, according to the vendor. This feature provides precise guidance on the painting process, including areas to paint, paint thickness, and color selection. It aims to ensure consistent and high-quality painting results while potentially reducing errors and rework.

Assistance to NDT Control: This feature, according to the vendor, assists operators in non-destructive testing (NDT) control with digital instructions displayed in the work environment. It guides operators through the NDT process, including the selection of appropriate testing techniques and equipment. Real-time feedback and visual cues are provided to enhance accuracy and precision in NDT control operations, potentially reducing the likelihood of missing defects or making mistakes during the testing process.
