Boost Efficiency Through Augmented Reality: Q&A With Bob Meads - 製造業やプラント工場ではAR技術の利用が進んでいる

製造業では、機械の故障が原因で大きな損害を招く。その予兆が分かったり、メンテナンスのノウハウが共有できていたり、故障した場合の対処が直ぐにできたら損害を最低限に抑えることができる。拡張現実の技術はこのような場面にも有効的だ。

When a piece of machinery in your manufacturing facility breaks, you might not have the best plan in place for fixing it without wasting huge amounts of time and money.

Bob Meads, founder and CEO of iQuest, addressed this common manufacturing problem in our conversation about his company’s collaboration with Kepware, as well as advanced approaches to viewing the plant floor and challenges to implementing automated solutions.

iQuest is an automation-solution provider and integrator, which means they build solutions for manufacturing plants and process areas. When the company began developing iQagent, a mobile app designed to improve efficiency in monitoring, they selected Kepware’s KEPServerEX, because it offers the ability to communicate with various pieces of equipment on the back end.
