Digitalization agreement for technical colleges in cooperation with the Nachwuchstiftung Maschinenbau

In 2018, the Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau initiated the digitalization offensive NRWgoes.digital to prepare training and teaching staff as well as students at technical colleges for the digital future in mechanical and plant engineering. As a project partner for the topic of smart maintenance, oculavis GmbH has made an important contribution in the form of training courses and the provision of the oculavis SHARE platform. Through the partnership, all technical colleges receive free access to the professional augmented reality (AR) solutions of the Aachen-based scale-up oculavis, which enable a variety of applications. On the one hand, these can be found in the field of worker assistance to integrate people into Smart Factory concepts of Industry 4.0 and to digitize, for example, training, assembly and testing with AR instructions on tablets, smartphones or smart glasses, or have a colleague from the foreman‘s office or another production site look over their shoulder with augmented support. On the other hand, oculavis applications can be found in the end-customer-oriented services of machine and plant manufacturers, who use the innovative software solution to digitize acceptance and commissioning, planned maintenance and troubleshooting. Not only travel costs and the associated CO2 can be reduced, new digital business models in service can also be established with the award-winning visual assistance solution.
