No. Manifest does not support 1D asset tags.  Because Manifest work instructions are often augmented with 3D content that needs to be spatially anchored to physical equipment, QR codes are required. 1D asset tags do not contain enough information.  However, data from 1D asset tags can be imported into Manifest as part of an Asset […]

Yes, some solutions support 1D asset tags in limited ways.  It is important to note, however, that 1D asset tags typically only include information about the specific pierce of equipment and do not contain enough information to spatially anchor 3D content associated with work instructions. Therefore, most AR-enabled work instructions use QR codes to provide

No. Manifest offers an option to use a virtual QR code.  But, if possible, physically affixing a QR code to every piece of equipment is often the best approach.  To understand how QR codes are used with AR-work instructions, please review this blog post.   Ideally, QR codes are affixed on all equipment, vehicles, or places

No. Many solutions have alternatives including using a virtual QR code.  But, if possible, physically affixing a QR code to every piece of equipment is often the best approach.  To understand how QR codes are used with AR-work instructions, please review this blog post.   Ideally, QR codes are affixed on all equipment, vehicles, or places

No. There is a virtual option that doesn’t require affixing anything on the physical objects. For a detailed explanation of QR codes and different approaches, please review this blog post.   QR Codes or ” fiducial markers” are necessary for Manifest to orient and position the 3D elements that describe procedures. The placement of the code

No. But it is often the best approach.  QR codes are a type of a barcode that is a machine-readable optical label which contains information. They are commonly used with augmented reality work instruction solutions for two primary reasons.  First, they can act as a unique ID for a specific piece of equipment so that
