The Benefits of Interactive Photography

ARDI-360 is targeted at workers on your site – particularly, for those less familiar with it, such as new hires, contractors and suppliers.

By being shown how to find equipment and navigate around your site by taking a photographic, interactive tour, you get several key advantages.

Safety and Efficiency Benefits

With a photographic tour, users arrive on the plant floor, comfortable with where their destination is and have a safe route to get there.

This means that users…

  • Can navigate your plant efficiently with minimal guidance.
  • Can be trained where they need to go during a job, even if they have never been on-site before.
  • Can gain deeper understanding and useful knowledge about other systems as they travel through your virtual plant.
  • Can discover what assets are even when there is no unique ID, AR marker or other identifying information in the field.
  • Can access all of the up-to-date documentation, live and historical process values etc. as you can in other ARDI products.

Communication

ARDI-360 is an excellent communication tool, allowing staff at various levels of the organisation to more effectively collaborate. You can…

  • Take management and decision-makers on-site, even when you are all safe in the boardroom – no inductions or travel required.
  • Give context to discussions by physically showing users the locations, hardware or systems under discussion.
  • Improve your pre-work reviews (often called ‘toolbox meetings’ ) by using a tablet and discussing every element of a job in-context – how to get to the job location, how to identify the equipment to be worked on, where to find isolation points and how to get there. You might even discover hazards worth considering before you even get to site.
