AR/VR technologies are transforming many industries!
Although AR/VR (i.e., Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality) is often associated with entertainment, numerous industries are developing a variety of applications utilising these technologies to improve productivity, efficiency, cost effectiveness and safety. By integrating augmented reality with digital twins, machines can be monitored and maintained in real time, even in hidden or complex spaces. This increases efficiency in smart buildings and industrial operations.
AR/VR also enables engineers to explore complex machines and structures in 3D environments, speeding up design iterations, minimising errors and improving product quality. AR improves training on production lines, facilitates process visualisation and optimises resource management. The integration of AR/VR technologies with artificial intelligence is further increasing efficiency and transformative impact in many industries.
Artificial intelligence revolutionises production!
Artificial intelligence revolutionising production is shaping the future of Industry 4.0. AI-powered cobots increase productivity by working safely alongside humans in tasks such as assembly, inspection and packaging.
AI enables automated planning and scheduling, optimising supply chain performance and production processes. It analyses data to predict equipment failures, increase productivity and reduce costs through proactive maintenance. AI-driven image recognition automates defect detection and improves quality assurance processes. Generative AI analyses trends, compliance and feedback to aid product design and enable faster, cost-effective development.
Development in the automotive industry is faster than ever!
The automotive industry is evolving faster than ever, driven by innovative technologies, changing consumer preferences and demand for sustainability.
Innovations such as autonomous vehicles, connected systems, electric cars (EVs) and online car shopping are redefining the concept of mobility. Added to this is the transformative power of generative AI, which automates tasks, optimises design and forecasting, and creates personalised customer experiences. In this way, it is estimated that by 2032, the market for generative AI in the automotive industry will exceed $2 billion. For example, the BMW Group is making a difference in logistics, finance and compliance processes thanks to its partnership with SAP and the implementation of the SAP S/4HANA cloud architecture at the iFactory. By creating a unified digital framework, it is setting new benchmarks for efficiency and unlocking the potential of productive AI integration.
In today’s dynamic world, companies that prioritise digital transformation not only adapt but also lead. The future of the automotive industry is brighter than ever.
Despite these advances, only a small percentage of manufacturers are taking full advantage of AI due to challenges such as poor data quality and model explainability. METU-DTX is collaborating with companies in the automotive and machinery sectors to overcome these challenges!
