Freitag 4 April 2025 22 | Messe aktuell HANNOVER MESSE DAILY 2025 1 Implement XR in Phases Instead of overhauling workflows overnight manufacturers should introduce XR gradually Piloting applications with a small group helps employees adapt while minimizing disruptions 2 Focus on Task-Based Applications XR works best for short taskspecific applications rather than prolonged use It should complement traditional engineering methods and provide flexibility in workflows 3 Build Internal XR Advocates Identifying early adopters within the organization helps drive XR adoption These internal champions can demonstrate the technology’s benefits provide feedback and support broader implementation Industrial machinery manufacturers that embrace XR gain a competitive edge by improving efficiency collaboration and innovation while reducing costs As customer expectations evolve XR will be essential for enhancing product quality and maintaining industry leadership Astrategic approach to XR adoption ensures that manufacturers remain futureready in an increasingly digital and automated world Ryan Martin Senior Research Director ABI Research am ABI Research www abiresearch com Extended Reality for Industrial Machinery Manufacturing Industrial machinery manufacturers must innovate while managing high costs and evolving customer expectations Clients demand highperformance machines that require minimal training pushing manufacturers to explore new technologies that enhance efficiency Extended Reality is emerging as a key enabler improving collaboration reducing errors and accelerating product development Extended Reality-XRpowered immersive engineering is transforming how industrial machinery is designed By integrating XR with Computer-Aided Design CAD and cloudbased platforms manufacturers can create digital twin models before production begins This approach streamlines design optimizes performance and supports sustainability efforts by reducing physical prototyping This article will walk you through how XR is being used in industrial machinery manufacturing and three key steps to successful implementation Unlocking New Use Cases with XR Industrial machinery manufacturers are constantly faced with challenges like inefficient collaboration high error rates and lengthy prototyping cycles Integrating Extended Reality XR into manufacturing processes can help solve these problems and enhance performance and quality XRpowered digital twins drive automation improve operational visibility and streamline product support transforming how manufacturers approach production One of the primary use cases of XR is improving collaboration Cloudbased Three-Dimensional 3D XR tools enable teams to work together in real time regardless of location bridging the gap for remote or distributed teams This eliminates communication bottlenecks and ensures a smoother workflow Arecent ABI Research survey found that 79 % of manufacturers report that XR improves product design experimentation and factory layout collaboration Additionally XR helps minimize design errors by offering immersive mockups that allow manufacturers to catch flaws early Mistakes in later production stages can lead to losses exceeding 1 million US-Dollars XR enables immersive design reviews realtime edits and direct feedback on 3D models This approach enhances accuracy reduces rework and limits reliance on physical prototypes Another significant advantage of XR is speeding up prototyping Traditional prototyping can take manufacturers months to carry out but XRbased virtual commissioning compresses this timeline to weeks or even days This faster turnaround not only saves time but also reduces material waste and accelerates timetomarket for new products While virtual commissioning is not new XR makes it more accessible by providing an interactive interface for design validation testing and refinement reducing both physical testing and development time Key Steps to XR Implementation Astructured approach ensures smooth XR integration into existing production workflows ABI Research recommends that manufacturers take the following steps Im ag e Shu tt er st oc k
