Abstract
PurposeThis paper presents a model aiming to identify the factors influencing the adoption of augmented reality (AR) for industrial services.Design/methodology/approachThe study combines a literature analysis with an empirical study conducted exploring how five large industrial companies are introducing AR for supporting the provision of technical assistance and industrial services to their installed base.FindingsThe authors identify four categories (task, workforce, context and technology) that combine 18 factors that manufacturing companies should consider when introducing AR technology to support industrial services.Originality/valueThis paper systematises the fragmented literature on technology adoption and in particular those works related to the factors affecting the adoption of AR in industrial services. Based on literature and empirical evidence, the authors propose a novel framework that can help companies in the selection of AR solution based on their specific applications and situations. This study therefore contributes also to the existing literature on the adoption of I4.0 and digital technologies in industrial services.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management (JMTM) aspires to be the premier destination for impactful manufacturing-related research. JMTM provides comprehensive international coverage of topics pertaining to the management of manufacturing technology, focusing on bridging theoretical advancements with practical applications to enhance manufacturing practices.
JMTM seeks articles grounded in empirical evidence, such as surveys, case studies, and action research, to ensure relevance and applicability. All submissions should include a thorough literature review to contextualize the study within the field and clearly demonstrate how the research contributes significantly and originally by comparing and contrasting its findings with existing knowledge. Articles should directly address management of manufacturing technology and offer insights with broad applicability.
