Tenaris Utilizes VR and AR Technology in Remote Start-Up
08/11/2021 - New ladles in the steel shop at Tenaris’s Siderca mill in Campana, Argentina, were started up remotely from Italy by using a mixed reality device.
A combination of virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality provided the operator in Argentina with vast amounts of information and resources. The tool allowed the operator in Argentina and the Tenaris expert in Italy to navigate 3D projections, videos and data archives, and HD cameras and sensors translated hand movements into commands.
“The potential use cases of mixed reality devices in our industry are wide ranging,” said Alejandro Lammertyn, Tenaris chief digital and information officer. “It may herald a future where libraries of work instructions, technical guidelines, operating manuals and engineering drawings are integrated with virtual reality devices.”
