AR Welding Training with Soldamatic

“AR-based welding training from Soldamatic”

Soldamatic, based in Spain, has developed a robust and impressively effective training program for welders using AR. The program is in use by over 200 enterprise and governmental organizations in 43 countries around the world, including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and John Deere.

Of particular interest is the degree to which Soldamatic has adapted real-world welding equipment to an AR-world in which students can learn and develop welding skills before moving on to more costly and dangerous real-world equipment. Developing welding skills in Soldamatic’s AR world has a number of substantial benefits, including

  • Reduced consumption of materials – 68% average reduction of training materials consumption
  • More flexible training times for students – faster students can move ahead when ready, others can take more time as needed, resulting in a 37% greater throughput of students and a 17% overall reduction in training time
  • A reduction in total training cost per student from about $13,000 to about $8,200, or a 39% cost reduction
  • A 34% increase in the percentage of trainees who qualified for certification
  • A 17% reduction in the cost of welding instructors
  • An 84% reduction in accidents, which can be very serious in welding training
  • Very high student satisfaction evaluation scores – from a list of 20 evaluation questions rated on a 0-10 scale, 94% of responses were 7 or above, and 35% were 10

This is a really impressive achievement in a training program and in the build-out of a highly effective simulated work world around AR technology. The company’s media page has a number of information videos about the process. The technology accomplishment, using not only an AR headset that has been adapted to a welding helmet, but also the development of a complete, AR-based welding toolset, shown on the right, that works in the AR world shows great vision and commitment.

The Soldamatic welding training video below shows a student performing simulated welding using the AR-tools developed by Soldamatic, while the monitor on the right of video shows what the student is actually experiencing.

About

Augmented Reality
Use Cases and Business Cases

Steve Kilner

This blog is about the adoption of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technology in enterprise and governmental organizations.

In particular my focus is on AR and VR technology with solid business justification through either financial or performance benefits. The emphasis is on quantifiable results.

I started this blog based on my own experience with developing and marketing an enterprise VR application, Vuzop. There are challenges, but I believe A/R and V/R will become massively used technologies in enterprises... through solid business justification.
