As Porsche uses augmented reality for repair of a car

In October, 2020 it became known of the PARiS project (Porsche Augmented Reality in Service) which is implemented in Porsche company together with Siemens. The initiative assumes use of augmented reality (AR) for an after-sale service of machines.

The first AR solution for Porsche workshop is created based on the Siemens Teamcenter system which is used for visualization and joint work with 3D - the model. At first repair in augmented reality will be implemented in the relation electric vehicle Porsche Taycan.

Porsche uses augmented reality for repair of a car

As the German car maker notes, automobile technologies are constantly improved, and digitalization allows to increase the number of functions. As a result car owners have more and more opportunities for setup, but it, in turn, do more difficult repair and maintenance. Thanks to the solution PARiS this complex of technologies is visualized in virtual environment and becomes interactive. It is some kind of "X-ray" for the car allowing specialists to see its "stuffing". For example, masters will be able to examine the system of charging, the accumulator, the electromachine, cable connections in the car, without looking under a cowl, explained in Porsche.

Our motto — "the picture is better thousands of words — the PARiS project manager and the head of department of determination of a product and information of division of an after-sale service of Porsche Mark Robl explains. – We want to show to colleagues what needs to be repaired, using 3D - animation, without forcing them to read huge instructions for repair, technologies of cars became so difficult that they not always conveniently and not always can perhaps be described only in a text format. Thanks to the solution PARiS for an after-sale service, service specialists will be able just to bring the tablet to the car, and it will be automatically recognized on a configuration.[1]

The data obtained during development, including information on the Porsche Taycan components requiring service are entered via the Teamcenter system from Siemens. Thanks to technologies of visualization 3D - animation can be shown in any Porsche center in the world both on tablets, and on shop computers.

For us Teamcenter is the complete solution integrating all processes. In department of an after-sale service there are several directions, for example, requirements management, normative values of working time and, of course, content management. The Siemens company could collect practically all this in Teamcenter – for each direction there is the module here. Even for such innovative technologies as animation of data of a CAD and AR technology. Siemens proposed to us an optimal solution, – Mark Robl added
