Augmented reality guided loading for automated parts washers
In pharmaceutical and laboratory settings, consistent and error-free loading of parts washers is crucial to maintain effective wash cycles and efficient operation. Variability in loading techniques can lead to misplacement of items, suboptimal cleaning, and increased downtime.
Improve loading accuracy and efficiency
The Smart AR Loading Technology by Steris Finn-Aqua is an assistive augmented reality tool designed to enhance the loading process for STERIS Reliance PG automated parts washers. This technology employs an iPad Pro, which displays a 3D overlay to guide operators in the precise placement and orientation of each wash item. The virtual overlay adjusts in real-time with the operator’s movements, ensuring complete alignment with validated standard operating procedures (SOPs). The system’s offline functionality and compatibility with various Reliance PG washers make it versatile and user-friendly. By reducing errors and easing training requirements, Smart AR loading technology supports consistent and productive wash cycles.
