Equipment uptime is the foundation of a strong bottom line at industrial and supply chain facilities. However, when a critical piece of equipment suddenly fails, your team may lack the expertise to fix it—relying on paper manuals stored somewhere in your plant—or the repair may be so complicated it slows your technician down. Augmented reality (AR) offers new opportunities to minimize downtime by delivering targeted, immediate support for maintenance and repairs of plant equipment. In this playbook, we explore the benefits of AR, including:

• Enhancing efficiencies and reducing costs 
• Using familiar tools, like smartphones and tablets, for advanced information delivery 
• Bridging the gap with a content library that can preserve institutional memory
