Munich, a city renowned for technological innovation, played host to a remarkable event that showcased the intersection of cutting-edge technology and manufacturing prowess. LOPEC 2023, a pinnacle event including an exhibition and a conference for the printed electronics community, witnessed the unveiling of groundbreaking insights by tacterion with a speech by Daniel Strohmayr, delving into the realm of "AR-powered Manufacturing Needs a Sense of Touch."

plyon® Sensors: A Gateway to Industry 5.0

Daniel Strohmayr introduced the audience to the revolutionary plyon® sensors, the core of tacterion's tactile sensing technology. These sensors redefine how humans interact with machines, forming a bridge between digital and physical realms. The true brilliance lies in how tacterion harnessed the power of plyon sensors to propel Industry 4.0 companies into the echelons of Industry 5.0 pioneers.

Challenges Meet Opportunities: The Drive towards Manual Work in Industry

Strohmayr artfully painted the landscape of manufacturing challenges and opportunities, shedding light on why tacterion's focus extended to manual work in the industry. A staggering 80% of the world's workers are deskless, with over 427 million manufacturing employees alone falling into this category. The transition towards onshoring and reshoring from Asia presents a monumental opportunity to digitize the deskless workforce, a venture valued at over $300 billion. Yet, the workforce is aging, and reskilling is a necessity. Companies are required to amplify safety measures, invest in employee training, and deliver more with fewer resources.

Augmented Reality: Shaping the Future of Manufacturing

The speech ventured into the key digitization enablers, placing Augmented Reality (AR) in the spotlight. Presently, 15,000 employees in Germany leverage AR/VR, a number that's slated to surge to a staggering 400,000 by 2030. With AR technology flourishing, numerous players have entered the field, yet Daniel emphasized that tactile information remains the missing link that could transform AR from a one-way channel into a true interaction powerhouse.

AR-Powered Manufacturing and skillflow: A Synergetic Collaboration

Strohmayr presented the audience with the power of combining tacterion's skillflow technology with Augmented Reality. He walked them through transformative use cases, such as AR-powered quality assurance and training facilitated by skillflow. He highlighted the fusion's potential in facilitating remote cable installation and ensuring meticulous quality control. The synergy between skillflow and AR holds the key to enhancing productivity, engagement, and efficiency in the manufacturing landscape.

Augmented Reality's New Dimension: The Sense of Touch

In a world enamored by visuals, Strohmayr spotlighted the significance of touch. While AR presents a visual revolution, tacterion brings a tactile dimension to this realm. The sense of touch completes the circle, enabling true two-way interaction between humans and machines, and thus paving the way for AR-powered manufacturing to transcend into a new era.

LOPEC 2023 bore witness to tacterion's visionary insights and its commitment to redefining the boundaries of AR-powered manufacturing. Daniel Strohmayr's speech illuminated the vital role tactile sensing plays in this narrative, while also showcasing the potential synergy between SkillFlow and Augmented Reality. As the manufacturing landscape evolves, tacterion stands at the forefront, ready to lead the charge into the future, where the sense of touch becomes an integral part of the digital experience.
