The recent spate of aircraft safety issues has spotlighted a long-brewing problem across all industrial manufacturing: the skilled labor shortage. Digital Transformation is the Solution.
positions will be unfilled due to skill gaps by 2028
of manufacturing companies report they are experiencing a labor shortage
Baby Boomers are expected to retire over the next decade
The aviation MRO industry faces a critical skilled labor shortage, reflected in aerospace and manufacturing. Despite hiring all qualified graduates, many roles remain unfilled. Deloitte predicts a 2.4 million position gap by 2028, worsened by retiring baby boomers and COVID-19. AR technology may aid in training, but the labor shortfall could result in $454 billion in lost manufacturing value over four years, with significant impacts on quality and operations. Boeing is notably struggling to meet demands.
AR has a unique capability of connecting the theoretical with the practical, transforming 2D instruction manuals into 3D standalone or overlaid experiences, and documenting the completion of these tasks in the digital system of record.
Organizations can turn the manufacturing skills gap into an opportunity by adopting AR technology. As an enterprise AR company, we've seen its potential to enhance productivity by transforming 2D manuals into 3D experiences and documenting tasks digitally. AR meets Gen Z's need for self-directed, practical training, enabling real-time learning and verification.
