Magic Leap 2 and Manufacturing Training with Manifest Software.

This blog takes you through a manufacturing use case and training using Magic Leap 2 and manifest software. We will lead you through videos that both explain:

• The Manifest software 
• The Magic Leap Manufacturing use case 
• How training can be impacted 
  
  

Step 1 is to create the Manifest training libary for your machine, by:-

• Watching them using the machine 
• Asking them questions as they go to demonstrate what they are doing and why?
• They either use the Magic Leap 2 headset or their own laptop, to create the training course in manifest.
• It takes a couple of hours but you will steadily build your manifest Magic Leap 2 training library.
• The benefits are instant in onboarding new employees or upskilling existing employees on new machines so you have a richer set of employee flexibility.
• The savings on training time, that would otherwise be undertaken by an experienced machinist are huge.
• Firstly, you cut the experienced machinist productivity downtime, training by weeks.
• Secondly, you get the boost to output from the experienced machinest as a result of less time training.
• Thirdly, you get the boost to new employee confidence, when they realise they are literally following instructions, so the likelihood of error is minimal.
• Fourth, you get the faster new employee productivity curve as they get up to speed in days rather than weeks.
• Fifth, you current new new employee error rate and resultant wastage.
• Sixth, you pay for the Magic Leap 2 device and Manifest software in one new employee saving, through the above training savings, productivity gains or wastage savings.

In the second video we have a HoloLens example at manufacturer Fastenal.

The video addresses the following training questions:-

• Where is all that expert knowledge that experience machinists have?
• How do we access that knowledge?
• How do we ensure when they leave or move to a different machine we keep their expertise?
• How do we scale training?
• How do we build new employee confidence?
• How do we reduce new employee accident levels improving health and safety?

• Used a HoloLens?
• Used Manifest Software?
• Used that machine?   

The video shows you exactly what these 4 employees thought during the debrief, answering further questions like:-

• How comfortable was the HoloLens headset?
• How was the Manifest software for training?
• What did you like?

Watch the video for the answers which were compelling for augmented reality and training, for Manifest, for fastenal as a company deploying the software on an increased library of machines.

Manifest software training Feedback Summary  

• 
  They liked text and video as a combination of training tools.
• They liked the confidence the software and HoloLens gave them.
•  The system was pretty easy
• The headset lighter than they thought, they forgot it was on
• Schematics were very helpful.
• The Videos very helpful.
• They liked the fact they could refer back if they forgot a step easily.
• They liked both the directional arrows and the step by step training approach.

Manifest software and Magic Leap 2 or HoloLens for manufacturing training - Summary.

• The training completion times were cut dramatically saving time money and boosting productivity.
• The experience IP was retained and scaled across the business - rather than lost when a machinest moved on, left or retired.
• The accuracy of task execution was dramatically improved.
• The ease of following instructions, compared to paper and manuals, transformed to handsfree.
