How-to Use the SkillsBase AR Planning Tool in 4 Easy Steps
Open the Augmented Reality planning tool on the SkillsBase App and select a cable or product.
Manually place products and measure cables while the AR Planning Tool creates a 3D digital twin of the area.
Finish scanning and analysing the floor plan and a Bill of Materials is created.
Customers sign off on this BoM and the 3D digital twin creation is uploaded to the cloud.
Key Augmented Reality Planning Tool Features
Deeper Insights and Targeted Planning
With Augmented Reality (AR), engineers can capture precise room dimensions, optimise cable routes, and virtually position products before installation. By integrating AR technology, engineers can shift their focus to higher-level analytical thinking, gaining deeper insights and identifying potential challenges before they arise. This data-driven approach enables businesses to understand key factors influencing installation success, refine their strategies, and enhance overall efficiency.
Enhanced Collaboration and Communication
Businesses can easily export and share installation plans with other teams or stakeholders, facilitating collaboration and communication. The AR Planning Tool allows planners to export photos and videos directly from the app, and these exported files can be shared from their camera roll or photo gallery. Full digital twin 3D models can be exported from the cloud in a range of file formats. A Bill of Materials PDF can be generated streamlining the documentation process.
Reduced Revisits and Improved Installation Quality
The AR Planning Tool helps businesses minimise revisits by simulating customer installations and predicting potential issues, ensuring that installations are completed correctly the first time. It empowers businesses with data-driven insights, enabling informed decision-making and optimisation of the installation planning process.
Increased Efficiency and Effectiveness
The AR Planning Tool empowers engineers to automate tasks, improving quality, visibility, and compliance across field operations. It allows planners to place products virtually on a wall, measure the infill needed for running cables, and plan site surveys and installation routes. The tool can automatically generate and export a Bill of Materials for the entire site survey, enhancing efficiency and scalability to save millions annually. With the SkillsBase AR Planning Tool, businesses can ensure correct product placement, optimise installation routes, and streamline the planning process, ultimately improving efficiency and effectiveness.
