Liquid UI supports SAP businesses worldwide to stimulate critical business processes before implementing them. Future developments in this technology will provide users with the knowledge required to improve the design and reimagine how companies operate. Thus, SAP customers can easily avoid design challenges and completely reimagine the operation of their business. Achieving this, Liquid UI has extended its support to simplifying the SAP process with Augmented Reality.
What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality is the fusion of digital data in real-time with the user's environment. With AR, unlike virtual reality (VR), users experience a real-world environment with generated perceptual information. Despite the hype, it has taken powerful smartphone technology to make AR a widely accepted reality.
Key benefits of AR for an SAP business include:
- Improved product development: Implementing AR makes it possible for designers to respond to modern consumer demands for shorter product lifecycles and reduce costs associated with prototyping.
- Simplified SAP process: Visualized workflows with step-by-step instructions can support predictive troubleshooting while lowering errors that lead to rework and accelerating complex assembly tasks for workers.
- Streamlined warehouse management: AR can reduce downtime by guiding product picking, controlling inventory levels, managing downtime by making it simpler for technicians to identify and fix issues, and by improving employee training.
- Reduced risk: AR not only mimics the work or operation of actual tools and people but also develops a secure, hands-on learning environment that enables employees to practice tasks virtually risk-free. Thus, enhancing the workflow, training, inspection, and worker safety.
Augmenting the Future
Currently, augmented reality is one of the most popular technological trends. As more affordable AR-capable smartphones and other devices become available globally, their popularity will only increase. AR is a perspective of the current world that includes elements enhanced by computer-generated input.
Numerous use cases are possible when we consider the capabilities of the technology. In SAP, augmented and mixed reality for service, maintenance, and quality inspections of assets are the two main areas where we currently see the most potential and customer value.
How does Liquid UI implement AR for SAP?

Virtually any app running on a smart device with a camera can be transformed into a potent data-capture tool by integrating your PC vision and augmented reality software into Liquid UI. By fusing enterprise-grade barcode scanning with augmented reality (AR) feedback, you can deliver users' real-time product information directly on their device screens, greatly enhancing workflow efficiency. In addition, Liquid UI for Android offers Optical Character Recognition (OCR) support via a long-press gesture on any input field using the built-in camera. It can identify both printed and written text characters in the image.
- Reduce costs: Using the software-based solution eliminates the need for dedicated hardware such as scanning devices or specific sleds. You can select the ideal environment to deploy the Liquid UI for the SAP solution because there is such a wide variety of smart devices available, including smartphones and tablets - that are readily available. Liquid UI-powered apps require little to no training, and adoption rates are very high due to the widespread use of smart devices and the general familiarity with mobile apps.
