# WorkLink for Aviation The aviation industry is experiencing a massive shift in skilled talent, as experienced technicians exit the industry they leave a void in skilled maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) workers. WorkLink closes the skills gap by accelerating training and dramatically reducing the time spent executing and documenting MRO processes. .png)-p-1600.jpg) Revolutionizing Aviation Maintenance, Repair & Operations .png) ## Guided Instructions for MRO See instructions overlaid on the equipment during task performance.

The WorkLink platform, developed by Scope AR, is the leading enterprise platform for authoring, distributing and viewing advanced augmented reality content. You can design, publish, view and interact with content in augmented reality, superimposing work instructions or even 3D designs (e.g., CAD files) on real world objects. The platform supports a range of content, including work instructions, training materials, aptitude tests and more. WorkLink streamlines the creation, management, and optimization of this content, while also facilitating integration with other enterprise systems, like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. ### How do I make AR content? With WorkLink by Scope AR, creating augmented reality content is a seamless experience that leverages your existing CAD files. You can quickly design and publish interactive AR experiences directly from any modern web browser on PC or Mac. Create a project and upload a CAD file, and you can quickly start creating interactive experiences with your content. Designed for ease of use, WorkLink allows you to realize AR projects quickly, even without extensive training. We also offer a 3-day on-site course to empower authors, enabling them to construct complex projects post-training. Alternatively, if you prefer to focus on your core business, let our professional services team handle the content creation for you. At Scope AR, we're committed to providing you with the tools and support you need to succeed in the world of augmented reality. ### What kind of ROI should I expect from Augmented Reality (AR)? Augmented reality (AR) typically delivers ROI through time and travel savings, enhanced quality, and reduced loss, with the extent of benefits varying by application. For instance, companies that frequently send technicians to repair large equipment, might see over $1 million in travel savings per year by empowering on-the-ground technicians with AR to diagnose and repair issues, avoiding costs like flights, hotels, and incidentals. Similarly sectors with high-stakes, like satellite manufacturing, can prevent costly errors that translate to massive savings. We recommend doing a proof of concept (POC) in order to quantify the specific ROI you will see from AR in your own use case. ### What Use Cases are best suited for WorkLink? From streamlining production processes to capturing and distributing expert knowledge, WorkLink offers significant and measurable benefits tailored to each operational need. Here are just a few examples of some of client’s use-cases: **Work Instructions:** Our platform enables users with no prior coding knowledge to create rich, engaging augmented reality instructions. By facilitating the in-house creation of AR instruction manuals, WorkLink accelerates the production process, reduces production costs, and improves security. **Cost-Effective Training Solutions:** The high costs associated with training, especially in contexts of high turnover and short tenures, necessitate a more efficient approach. WorkLink's AR platform offers a hands-on, experiential learning environment where new engineers can rapidly upskill through engaging with realistic simulations and interactive guides, thus accelerating the learning curve, reducing training expenses, and enhancing retention of critical information. **AR-Guided Work Instructions:** WorkLink's AR capabilities revolutionize the delivery of information on the job. Through augmented reality, engineers can access real-time, 3-D-aware instructions and data directly on the products they are building or servicing, enhancing efficiency and reducing the likelihood of errors. **Bridging the Expertise Gap:** WorkLink facilitates the transfer of invaluable knowledge to newer employees through immersive collaboration and guided instructions, ensuring continuity and consistency in maintenance quality. **Reducing Paper Dependency:** Digitizing maintenance workflows and instructions significantly reduces paper usage, contributing to sustainability efforts and streamlining information management. ### Are Scope AR and WorkLink secure? Yes, security is a top priority at Scope AR. Scope AR’s worklink product complies with SOC 2 Type II standards and is NIST certified, ensuring that we meet rigorous security requirements. Additionally, WorkLink offers on-premises deployment options, allowing sensitive data to remain securely within your company's controlled environment. ### Which devices are compatible with WorkLink to view content? WorkLink supports a wide range of devices, including all major iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, along with leading AR wearables such as Microsoft's Hololens 2 and the Apple Vision Pro. Our device-agnostic approach ensures seamless integration with your existing technology infrastructure.
