Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

The manufacturer deployed Azure Mixed Reality services and HoloLens 2 headsets to assist design engineers and shop floor workers. By overlaying digital 3D schematics onto physical aircraft sections, workers can verify installations (brackets, wiring) faster and validate designs without physical mockups.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A high-value use of AR in industrial workflows. It replaces 2D paper drawings (which require interpretation) with 3D spatial overlays (which provide certainty). This significantly reduces rework costs in the capital-intensive aerospace assembly process."

warning The Challenge

Aircraft assembly involves thousands of brackets and wires. validating installation using 2D paper drawings is slow and error-prone. Physical mockups for design validation are expensive and slow to build.

psychology The Solution

Designers export 3D models to Azure Remote Rendering. Workers wear HoloLens 2 headsets. The system uses Azure Spatial Anchors to lock the digital model to the physical fuselage. Workers see exactly where a bracket should be drilled.
