The extrusion lines take shape thanks to the augmented reality

11 January 2017

The Industry 4.0 project, based on the use of the innovative digital tool Oculus Rift, was developed at Bandera, in cooperation with the University Carlo Cattaneo of Castellanza (Varese, Italy), and shown in absolute preview during the K 2016.

The Oculus Rift is a 3D virtual reality gives customers the opportunity to explore a complete line for the extrusion of plastic materials, even before the fulfilment of the project.

This instrumentation could warrant a good number of extremely tangible applications affording great advantages. It could be efficient either at the line design stage, or at a subsequent stage, to optimize both the production and/or service processes. It could further prove effective in explaining the operation of the machinery, along with the relating process applied, as well as in presenting and promoting machinery performances.
