PlasmiX

Real-time data is displayed virtually on in the spot at the real object, using the latest mixed reality technology.

Background: CSL Behring AG is a global biotherapeutics leader, specializing in the manufacture of medicines derived from human plasma. CSL Behring’s facility in Wankdorf, in the heart of the capital city Bern, generates a large amount of data on a daily basis, data that is crucial for the production of their life-saving therapies. The aim of the project was to provide employees with necessary information as quickly as possible and to make the complex production processes easier to understand.

Solution: The collected data of the system is retrieved and assigned to a digital twin in a smart AR cloud system. The Mixed Reality glasses will display the needed information directly on the corresponding object in real time. The Mixed Reality glasses are used as a completely new type of HMI.

Benefit: The application enables the employee to make faster and more accurate decisions and thereby helps to avoid errors. Persons wearing a head mounted display will have their hands free. They can thus move around more easily and work more efficiently.

With the “PlasmiX” application, afca. joined the Microsoft’s Mixed Reality Partner Program. The expansion of services through machine learning and artificial intelligence promises the breakthrough of immersive technologies in the evolution of industry 4.0.
