Each piece of equipment and process area at your facility has lots of data and resources associated with it that your staff needs to do their jobs. The problem is, these resources are scattered across, many different applications, and aren’t easily available where you need them most: standing right in front of the equipment. iQagent changes that.
iQagent allows you to create Points Of Interest, or POIs, to link a physical piece of equipment, asset or process space to its relevant data and resource from existing plant systems, such as live data, Electronic Document systems, CMMS, MES, ERP and others. iQagent POIs can include real time data from your PLC, SCADA or ODBC production databases, schematics, documents, videos, forms and other resources. Create POIs for all of your automation equipment, production lines, and process spaces. When workers are repairing, monitoring or maintaining equipment, they interact with the POI to get the information they need to do their job. All of the information you need is right where you want and need it.
How it works
The app can be used in either a demo mode (Internal Mode) or in conjunction with a “Live” mode system using the iQagent Server and Configuration tool installed in your plant.
Internal Mode allows you to learn how the app functions and to experience how you can view and interact with (simulated) process data and documentation of a typical plant floor using Augmented Reality.
In Live Mode, You will create and configure your very own AR Scenes that include relevant POI resources, including live process data (via OPCDA, OPCUA and ODBC) and schematics, forms, videos, and other electronic resources. Once created, these points of interest can be placed anywhere in virtual space, adjusted, resized and ready for use. What’s more is that these AR Scenes can instantly be recreated on any other iQagent AR app connected to the network, simply by scanning the POI’s QR Code.
Features:
1. Works with existing iQagent installations.
2. Create and Add Virtual POI objects to any equipment or process area for instant access to relevant PLC or SCADA data, schematics, documents, forms or videos.
3. Scan existing iQagent POI (QR) Codes to access related POI objects
4. Add virtual single data point values near sensors or data sources
5. Add and interact with virtual links to documents forms or videos.
6. POIs and objects remain where you left them between iQagent sessions, and can be viewed on other iQagent AR apps.
