Recap of the Microsoft HoloLens Manufacturing Industry Forum

We have had 1216 attendees for the Microsoft HoloLens Manufacturing Industry Forum we hosted on March 30, 2022. Some interesting highlights include:

The sessions

A New Reality for Manufacturing - We heard from Microsoft about top industry trends, how Microsoft is approaching the opportunities ahead, and why mixed reality needs to be an integral part of every manufacturer’s workforce strategy, and from Applied Materials about how the Microsoft HoloLens improves and enhances frontline worker productivity.

Addressing Workforce Challenges in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing with HoloLens and AR - We heard from PTC about how to accelerate learning and reduce training costs, improve accuracy and reduce production downtime, decrease the costs of human error, scrap, and waste improve adherence to safety and compliance regulations.

Train to work: Immersive Training at Thermo Fisher Scientific - Altoura Introduced Immersive Training SaaS Platform to accelerate onboarding for hybrid workers! We learnt how Thermo Fisher Scientific uses mixed reality to onboard, train, and assist hybrid workers as they transition from remote work to the front lines. It’s end-to-end training from virtual to physical, and its only available from Altoura and Microsoft.

The New Way to Work: Creating Operational Efficiencies with Mixed Reality - Kognitiv Spark discussed how mixed reality tools are positively impacting the industrial sector as a whole by enabling operational efficiencies, worker autonomy and empowerment, and facilitating rapid issue resolution - all while eliminating traditional barriers associated with access to experts and a reduced ability to travel. The session also featured testimony and insights from LeeWay Marine on how they have successfully implemented Microsoft’s Hololens and RemoteSpark to deliver guidance to technicians aboard a vessel at sea.

And, there's more! We encourage you to register for the upcoming Industry Forums to learn even more about HoloLens and mixed reality deployments, successes and best practices.
