Nagarro, a technology solutions provider headquartered in Hanover, Germany, announced this week that is has accessed into a new partnership with Nokia for ‘Factory in a Box 2.0’.
 
First revealed in 2017, Nokia’s ‘Factory in a Box’ solution is a disruptive new project to provide modular and flexible production in a mobile, demand-centric way. According to the company, “ The idea is to support Industry 4.0 / Supply Chain 4.0 agile, modular and flexible production wherever required.” Housed in a shipping container, the ‘Factory in a Box’ can provide manufacturing solutions such as 3D advanced manufacturing, robotics and augmented reality. The underlying communication infrastructure also leverages Nokia's 5G network capabilities.
 
Nagarro's AR solution will enable workers inside 'Factory in a Box 2.0' to create defect free parts and seamlessly use advanced manufacturing machines. This AR solution for the upcoming generation of similar workers provides capabilities such as: step-by-step instructions, hands-free navigation, remote connect with experts and the ability to take notes.
 
The augmented reality application – which has been made using Skylight, Upskill's multi-experience AR software platform - allows the worker to learn and adapt to individualized production on highly sophisticated machines in a very short distance of time. At Hannover Messe, the solution would be confirmed on three smart glasses – Glass Enterprise Edition, Realwear HMT-1 and Vuzix M300.
 
Nokia is currently showcasing the factory at the 5G Arena in hall 16 at Hannover Messe 2019. Grant Marshall, VP Supply Network & Engineering at Nokia said: 'We could tell from the positive feedback we received on the Factory in a Box last year that there is a lot of potential for this principle in the manufacturing industry. This year, we have raised the bar again, and Factory in a Box 2.0 is now related to Nokia WING and has Nokia DAC on board, making it even more flexible, secure and efficient.'
