Abstract: Many manufacturing and engineering companies worldwide face many problems such as increased cost of production and operations, frequent machined and equipment breakdown, poor product quality, and inefficiencies in the production processes. Furthermore, since both MR/ AR headsets and IoT Systems are working in silos, engineering/operations managers in manufacturing companies cannot fully harness its true capabilities. These problems occur because of a lack of integration of mixed reality tools and IoT systems such as control systems, Scada, and industrial automation systems. Both mixed reality and IoT systems have different communication protocols, so integration is a challenge. However, currently, engineering and operations leadership are using various dashboard/reporting tools that fetch information from both systems separately, limiting the capabilities of these executives in terms of key decision making; that is something that can be overcome with the system integration. Therefore, this study aims to understand the impact of IoT integration with mixed reality on manufacturing operations. Once the integration is achieved, it will help the manufacturing companies overcome problems such as; energy inefficiency, high cost of the product, and poor maintenance of resources. The study used both semi-structured interviews and descriptive questionnaires to collect data.
