Augmented Reality has revolutionized submarine construction at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems by eliminating the need for hundreds of 2D drawing sheets.
The introduction of AR technology in submarine construction began in 2016 at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems in Kiel.
Augmented Reality enhances the design of submarine components by overlaying virtual content onto physical reality.
thyssenkrupp Marine Systems developed an agile project using the SCRUM technique to implement immersive technologies in submarine construction.
AR at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems allows technicians to interact with virtual objects, improving efficiency and accuracy.
The use of AR eliminates the need for 2D drawings, saving time, effort, and improving quality through error detection in the production process.
Smart glasses like Microsoft's HoloLens are used at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems for AR applications in checking completion status and marking welded parts.
AR glasses provide a seamless flow of information and visualization, making work more intuitive for technicians building submarines.
The future of AR at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems includes potential applications in onboard documentation and remote assistance, enhancing the entire construction process.
Augmented Reality is seen as a technology that will become an integral part of daily life, much like smartphones, and thyssenkrupp Marine Systems aims to further develop its use in ship- and submarine-building.
