January 31, 2019 - Scott Montgomerie: The manufacturing industry has a long history of constant innovation. In this “man versus machine” industry, there has always been a precarious balance between innovation and having the right labor force to successfully drive these innovations. A new skills gap study by Deloitte predicts that 4.6 million new manufacturing jobs will be created in the U.S. between 2018 and 2028.

When Google introduced its augmented reality (AR) eyewear, the initial excitement faded into disdain for early adopters, who earned a memorable nickname: Glassholes. The user affectation, as well as the cost and paucity of reasons to actually use them in nature, doomed AR wearables in the consumer electronics space, at least for now. But that changes if you look to the factory or shop floor, writes Jake Swearingen in the Intelligen
Read MoreDecember 18, 2018 - Greg Nichols: The AR Cloud, ruggedized hardware, and a consumer-friendly app ecosystem. Could 2019 be the year this technology breaks out of the novelty phase? Augmented Reality is still pretty lame. Sorry, I know that's a broad brush to paint an increasingly diverse technology category, but that's my professional opinion. On the enterprise side, AR is finally showing some indications of becoming genuinely useful, particularly in sectors like field service,

Read MoreOctober 9, 2018 - Erin Winick: Lockheed Martin engineers wear the goggles to help them assemble the crew capsule Orion—without having to read thousands of pages of paper instructions. When you work at a factory that pumps out thousands of a single item, like iPhones or shoes, you quickly become an expert in the assembly process. But when you are making something like a spacecraft, that comfort level doesn’t come quite so easily. “Just about every time, we are building somethin
Read MoreSeptember 19, 2018 - Scott Montgomerie: Almost everyone’s heard something about the promise of augmented reality (AR). Next-generation video game action. The future of interactive movies. Or blockbuster AR investments from heavy-hitters like Facebook, promising a new way that we’ll connect and interact. Is this exciting? Absolutely. But there’s more to AR than hype or novelty. Smart companies are already using AR to redefine how they get work done and train employees. Aerospa

Read MoreOn August 1, in the Wall Street Journal, Sara Castellanos posted an article exploring Lockheed Martin's use of augmented reality, particularly the work done on their Orion project using Scope AR's WorkLink. Some highlights from the article: Lockheed Martin Corp.’s space division is using augmented reality headsets and software to speed up the time it takes for engineers to learn about and conduct manufacturing processes on spacecraft, said Yvonne Hodge, the division’s vice president and
Read MoreToday in ARtillry, Mike Boland posted an article about the incredible ROI metrics experienced by Lockheed Martin, Unilever and Prince Castle. Here are some highlights from the article: As we’ve examined in past reports and our latest market sizing figures, enterprise AR’s biggest friction is with enterprises themselves. This is due to typical red tape, sales cycles and risk aversion. But the walls are breaking down and we could see a tipping point in the next few year
