About the programme

Course Overview

Industrial maintenance is undergoing a major transformation with the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, which are becoming essential tools for supporting field technicians.

AR applications allow real-time display of technical information directly on equipment, enabling technicians to perform maintenance tasks with greater accuracy and speed—without relying on traditional manuals or documentation.

These technologies reduce errors, enhance safety, and save time by providing interactive 3D guidance and seamless integration with digital maintenance systems.

AR is now used in complex equipment servicing, remote assistance, technician training, and process documentation, making it a strategic solution for organizations aiming to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to understand how AR works, design custom AR maintenance applications, and deploy them effectively in field environments.

It includes hands-on exercises, case studies, and practical models that help participants turn theoretical knowledge into real-world solutions. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to lead digital transformation initiatives in maintenance using AR technologies with confidence and innovation.
