❌ Time-consuming: Relies on experienced workers’ time and expertise, pulling them away from their primary roles and disrupting production schedules.

❌ Inconsistent: Managed by multiple people—who all have their own style, tips, or tricks—which can result in inconsistencies and knowledge gaps.

❌ Limited practical application: Rely on theoretical instruction and classroom exercises, which can struggle to replicate the complexities of real-world work environments.

❌ Low engagement: Passive learning methods like lectures and manuals struggle to keep trainees engaged, leading to decreased retention and application.

❌ Limited data: Often relies on subjective observations. Without individual proficiency data, training stays generic and opportunities to personalize learning are missed.

✅ Quick and effective: AR training provides on-the-job guidance that’s easy to follow, helping new and reassigned workers gain skills to hit quality and productivity targets from day one.

✅ Standardized: AR training provides consistent instructions for all trainees, regardless of the trainer or location, ensuring everyone receives the same accurate information.

✅ Replicates real-world scenarios: AR training simulates production processes allowing employees to gain on-the-job experience without disrupting operations.
