Augmented Reality (AR)

The Power Of Augmented Reality (AR)

UniCloud AR, Unitronics’s latest feature, is designed to bring Augmented Reality (AR) into industrial automation.
AR is rapidly gaining popularity for its ability to drive efficiency,
improve service, and reduce costs—benefits that you can unlock with Unitronics UniCloud.

Why AR Matters In Industrial Automation

Augmented Reality (AR) overlays real-time, digital data—such as machine or application information—onto physical equipment. This allows users to visualize live PLC data (such as sensor readings, machine status, or process variables) directly on the 3D model of a machine, all via the mobile device screen of a technician or operator. UniCloud AR empowers users to access the information they need at the exact time and place they need it, in a simple and intuitive way.

Servicing

Servicing & Troubleshooting

UniCloud AR overlays real-time data
from the PLC directly onto the physical
machinery simplifying access to the
information needed to diagnose and
troubleshoot issues effectively.
This can speed up repairs and enhance
accuracy in problem-solving
while servicing & maintaining the machine.

Visualization

Real-time Data Visualization

UniCloud AR displays crucial real-time data, such as sensor readings, system status, or process variables, directly on the machines and oriented to the operator’s view via a mobile device (iOS or Android).
There is no need to use any other display, HMI screen, or other dedicated hardware. This ability improves operational oversight and helps
technical personnel make informed
decisions on the spot

Service

Better Quality of Service

UniCloud AR simplifies and optimizes
service tasks:

  • Streamlined maintenance with visual
    guides that assist service teams
    regardless of experience level
    in reducing errors and cutting
    downtime.
  • Faster troubleshooting on-site,
    without the need to return to the
    control room for critical updates.
  • Allows operators to maintain a safe
    distance from potentially hazardous
    machinery while accessing critical data.
Innovation

Stay Competitive with Innovation

UniCloud AR integrates seamlessly into your existing information architecture to provide you with competitive advantage in terms of efficiency, maintenance, and innovation. This positions your offering as cutting-edge, while strengthening your ability to offer advanced support, improve user experience, and enhance customer satisfaction

Implementation is Easy

These are the steps:

  1. Import a Machine 3D CAD model file of your machine into UniCloud, where it will be processed. This step is known as ‘Trainingʼ.

2. You can view and rotate the 3D model in UniCloud AR at any angle, with full 360° rotation.

3. Simply ‘drag and dropʼ PLC Tags onto the desired locations on the machine model and choose how you want the data to be displayed.

Thatʼs it—youʼre done!
