Impact of AR on the Consumer Goods Industry

AR can be integrated into consumer companies’ production facilities to overcome the challenges presented by social distancing requirements. Specifically, remote assistance solutions can enable the delivery of technical assistance to factory-floor workers without the need for in-person visits by technicians. Also, AR online adverts such as AR filters on social media platforms are an effective way of reaching the growing number of consumers shopping online and engaging them with immersive experiences.

Moreover, integrating AR devices such as smart glasses and remote assistance solutions into production facilities improves the overall resilience of a supply chain. These solutions enable a variety of functions to be performed remotely, including technical support and auditing. Within the immediate context of the pandemic, this improves the ability of production facilities to operate effectively while reducing onsite personnel, resulting in a working environment that is socially distanced and functional.
