A talk from the Enterprise 2 Track at AWE EU 2018 - the World's #1 XR Conference & Expo in Munich, Germany 18 -19, October, 2018.
Michael Lewis (AMRC): How Projected AR is Increasing Productivity in Construction
The SmartSet project aims to trial and assess the use of digital projection technologies with reference to a construction environment, specifically the marking-up of component positions, such as power sockets, sprinklers, etc. Laing O’Rourke were selected to provide use cases and an ongoing construction project within which, projection technologies could be demonstrated.
A projection mapping system, which was able to project PDF drawings onto various elements, was demonstrated within a relevant construction environment. The process of marking-up apartment blocks in this manner produced promising results in terms of rate and quality. Operators who were assisted by the projection system were able to complete the mark-up process of an entire floor in 34.5 hours, resulting in a time saving of 45.5 hours. The projection mapping system was developed to TRL level 7. The projection system will need to be demonstrated in nearly all possible scenarios should the system progress to TRL level 8.
The resultant time savings suggest that there is incredible value to be derived from technologies which utilise BIM data and information after construction has begun.
