Industrial robots can deliver extraordinary productivity, repeatability and precision, but the environments surrounding them demand equally precise human behaviour. Entering a robot cell, recovering equipment after a stoppage, checking guarding or responding to an abnormal condition can involve multiple safety-critical steps that must be performed in the correct sequence. Virtual Reality (VR) offers manufacturers a way to rehearse those procedures before an employee works around the real equipment. Augmented Reality (AR) can then reinforce the same Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the point of work, providing contextual information on the actual cell.
