Today, the Tokyo-based company announced the release of the FUJITSU Manufacturing Industry Solution 3D Superimposed Product Design Diagnostic, a PLM solution that uses augmented reality and 3D modeling to virtually inspect products and manufacturing components. Rather than having to manually examine every manufactured item, users simply take a picture of each component with a smartphone or tablet, then overlay that picture with the 3D CAD file of the component, enabling them to quickly spot any differences or inconsistencies.
The system is easy to operate and allows manufacturers to easily and quickly detect flaws and defects at an early stage, eliminating the need to send components back during a later phase in the manufacturing process. In addition, the diagnostic results are saved, allowing companies to keep a record of quality, share information and improve overall management.
