AR in Industrial Services, Industry 4.0, and Digital Transformation.

Embracing Industry 4.0 in the US Manufacturing Sector

A transformative shift is underway in the manufacturing world, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0. Leading manufacturers are already adopting this evolution, which is redefining how factories operate.

Industry 4.0 refers to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) into industrial environments. It builds on previous industrial revolutions: from steam and water power (1.0), to electrification and automation (2.0), and the rise of digital computing (3.0). Now, with advanced connectivity and intelligent systems, manufacturers can unlock real-time insights, enhance operational efficiency, and drive innovation.

At Immersive Global Solutions, we are already supporting small and large companies such as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Toyota, and Claas, delivering cutting-edge solutions with Artificial Intelligence, Augmented/Virtual Reality, and Computer Vision—key components of Industry 4.0. Our work is helping US-based manufacturers improve processes, training, safety, and production performance through innovative technologies.

Here are some use cases for AR that we are deploying:

Augmented Reality Remote Support

AR Remote Support allows technicians and frontline workers to receive real-time guidance from experts, no matter where they are. Using smartphones, tablets, or smart glasses, users share their view and interact with overlaid instructions, diagrams, or annotations—boosting accuracy, reducing downtime, and cutting travel costs.

Instant Knowledge Access with Augmented Reality

Give your workforce hands-free access to critical information exactly when and where they need it. With AR-powered access to knowledge databases, users can view step-by-step instructions, technical manuals, schematics, and safety protocols overlaid in their real-world environment.

Whether on the shop floor or in the field, this solution reduces errors, speeds up tasks, and ensures consistent execution, turning every worker into an expert.

AR Devices / HMD (Head Mounted Devices) when needed.

Depending on your environment—indoor, outdoor, or hazardous —we recommend the most suitable AR device for your needs. From lightweight options like Google Glass, RealWear, and Epson Moverio to fully immersive solutions like HoloLens 2 or Magic Leap, we ensure hands-free access when tablets aren’t ideal.

Accelerated Learning with VR Training

VR training reduces time and resource costs while significantly improving learning outcomes. According to a PwC study, VR learners train up to 4x faster than in the classroom, are 275% more confident in applying skills, and are 3.75x more emotionally connected to the content, leading to better retention and performance.

We’ve deployed VR solutions and immersive simulations to train teams in safety, welding, manufacturing, and more.

Shown here is an example from the VR Trainer we developed for FCA – Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, built to improve skill acquisition and operational efficiency.
