Augmentir is further expanding the AR features in its Connected Worker Suite. The goal is to support industrial companies and their employees with smarter and more efficient tools.

The innovation builds on mobile AR tools that Augmentir developed five years ago as part of its early innovations. Not least, the company's founding team has years of industry-leading AR experience, dating back to the development of PTC Vuforia Studio, an AR solution that has been a market leader for almost a decade.

The first AR tools from Augmentir in 2020 were prototypes that garnered significant customer interest. However, there were more urgent challenges in the Connected Worker sector at the time. As a result, the company initially focused on optimized content conversion, execution of complex tasks, skill management, training and problem management, workforce planning, enterprise integration, scalability, and security.

Due to increased demand and customer feedback, Augmentir is now adding AR features to its platform again—targeted and practical.

The new Augmentir AR add-on has been specifically designed for these use cases:

• Fast onboarding and training of employees on actual equipment and within real processes
• Just-in-time support for complex or infrequent tasks
• Enhancement—not replacement—of the comprehensive Connected Worker Experience.

"Industrial AR has experienced many false starts because it was mistakenly positioned as a central tool for task execution—or as a standalone product," says Russ Fadel, CEO and co-founder of Augmentir.

In reality, AR has its greatest impact in training, onboarding, and the initial execution of tasks. Augmentir AR therefore builds on our native AI to dynamically provide workers with immersive instructions.

"Once employees have mastered a task, they hardly need AR anymore. Our new AR feature provides added value here by supporting workers from their first day on the job to the end of their careers."

Innovative manufacturing companies worldwide already rely on Augmentir to guide their teams in production and service and to accelerate their digital transformation. These include Colgate-Palmolive, Graphic Packaging, Hunter Industries, Mondelez, Armstrong World Industries, Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller, and AkzoNobel.

These companies achieve improvements in all operational areas, such as:

• 82 percent less time required for onboarding new employees,
• 37 percent more productive employees,
• 27 percent less equipment downtime,
• 24 percent fewer quality issues,
• 21 percent improved workplace safety.

AI-Native Innovation Drives Agent-Supported Manufacturing Forward

For years, numerous industrial customers have been using the company's AI to elevate their operational performance to a new level. With the Augie Industrial GenAI Suite, they can transform existing contentCo-founder of Augmentirsuch as training videos, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), checklists, and work instructionsCo-founder of Augmentirinto interactive step-by-step guides. These are then converted into digital Smart Twins of the existing content.

Additionally, customers use the analytics from Augmentir's True Productivity and True Performance to gain an overview of their teams' performance, identify capacity gaps, and recognize opportunities for further training or retraining.

At the core is Augmentir's AI Agent Studio, a no-code environment where manufacturers can design, deploy, and scale custom AI agents for their operations. These agents provide intelligent support for training, troubleshooting, workflow optimization, and other tasks. The newly added immersive AR experiences can further enhance this support. Augmentir AR integrates seamlessly into this agent-based ecosystem, ensuring that AR-guided instructions not only take the work context into account but are also dynamically optimized through AI. This ensures measurable value where it is needed most.

By combining AR with AI-powered agents and generative AI (GenAI), Augmentir continues to set standards for what is possible in industrial companies. This enables employees to perform at their best, while manufacturers benefit from improved productivity, agility, and workforce resilience.
