Accelerate training and onboarding with AR work instructions
Traditional onboarding often means weeks of job shadowing and classroom training. It slows down productivity and puts extra pressure on a small group of experts. Augmented reality training changes this dynamic.
With AR guided work instructions, new employees learn directly in the workplace, supported by clear AR overlays instead of static manuals. They perform real tasks with step by step guidance and build competence faster and more reliably.
The challenge: slow and inconsistent onboarding
- New hires depend on the availability and teaching style of experts
- Paper work instructions are hard to interpret in a real environment
- Training quality varies per trainer, shift and production location
- Compliance and training proof are difficult to document
The solution: AR guided onboarding in the real workplace
AR training and onboarding combine digital work instructions with the real task:
- A manager assigns a task to a new employee.
- The employee opens the corresponding AR guide on a smart glass, tablet or smartphone.
- The AR system shows visual, step by step work instructions in the field of view.
- Overlays, arrows and 3D models indicate exactly where and how to perform each step.
- The employee confirms each step or the system verifies it using visual recognition.
The result is a standardised onboarding process, independent of who is training that day.
Built in compliance and performance evidence
The AR training system automatically captures:
- Completed steps and confirmation per task
- Photos or video fragments as evidence of correct execution
- A digital audit trail for quality and compliance checks
Supervisors and trainers can review the data, see where employees struggle and adapt content or training focus accordingly.
Key benefits and KPIs
AR guided onboarding and training typically deliver:
- Significantly shorter onboarding time and effort
- Higher First Time Right rates and fewer errors
- Documented, audit ready proof of compliant execution
- Shorter cycle time for specific tasks or production steps
AR training scales the knowledge of your best experts to every new employee, without increasing their workload.
