Workers are retiring; operations and their customers span the globe; and products possess near-limitless potential for customization. It is against this backdrop that manufacturers and field service providers face mounting shortages of skilled labor. Worse still, traditional methods for training and upskilling workers are falling short.

To meet these growing challenges, manufacturers are turning to industrial augmented reality solutions. With the ability to overlay real-time information onto physical assets and environments—AR is quickly being adopted as the best option for replenishing skilled workforces.

To help field service professionals get a firm grip on what all of these changes to the industry mean and how they can leverage industrial AR to overcome these PTC have created the white paper "Closing the Industrial Skills Gap with Augmented Reality”. 

This white paper covers four core areas... 

• Four reasons why skills shortages are more than a “retirement problem.”
• Three main strategies used to preserve skilled resources.
• Five ways that industrial AR is a proven game-changer.
• Two customer examples of rapid, repeatable AR success
