Nearly half of U.S. manufacturers have turned to extended reality (XR) in response to evolving logistical challenges. This technology provides them with more effective training, greater efficiency, reduced waste, and other significant benefits.
We surveyed 400 manufacturing professionals to learn more about XR’s role in the current landscape. Key findings from our report include:
- Half of the respondents already use XR (177 versus 179 who do not).
- XR has achieved clear returns on investment (ROI) for 75% of respondents, with benefits that include reduced material waste, time savings, and cost savings.
- Of the 179 respondents who do not use XR, 59% intend to start using it within the next five years. Furthermore, an additional 19% have plans to adopt XR within the following ten years. In total, a majority of 74% have intentions to integrate XR within the next decade.
