In an industry-first, Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland has launched a free augmented reality app – Sunbelt Rentals AR. This free app is available both to customers and the public, setting a new standard for enhanced project efficiency and sustainability in equipment planning and utilisation.
As industries face the increasing pressure to reduce logistical costs and minimise their environmental footprint, AR technology has emerged as a valuable solution. With the Sunbelt Rentals AR app, users can use the power of augmented reality to seamlessly visualise and place equipment in their work environments directly from their mobile devices. This not only supports the equipment planning phase and placement, it ensures precision and ease when making decisions on the right equipment to hire.
By leveraging advanced AR technology, the app offers an unparalleled planning experience by providing the technical information at your fingertips. Users will have the ability to place realistic 3D models of equipment in their intended locations, map out the safety zones and view diagrams, ensuring optimal placement and incorporation into their projects before the start of the construction phase. This not only enhances project planning efficiency, but also significantly reduces logistical costs and environmental impact.
By visualising equipment placement and logistics during the pre-construction phase, companies can identify opportunities to minimise equipment usage, implement more sustainable equipment options with technical information provided through the app and reduce waste and transport costs. This aligns with Sunbelt Rentals’ commitment to sustainability through Our Planet strategy, which focuses on driving digital innovation and sustainability.
A key feature of the app is its user-friendly design, providing effortless navigation and usage across various sectors, including Construction, Events and Film & TV. This enables users to fully embrace the technology and its capabilities. By ensuring accessibility and inclusivity of the planning tools, Sunbelt Rentals demonstrates their commitment to empowering users with the power to make informed decisions during the planning stage. Additionally, users have the option to download product specifications and contact technical experts to gain further information about the best product for their site.
Glyn Matthews, Digital Transformation Manager at Sunbelt Rentals, shares his insights, “Our new AR app, the Sunbelt Rentals Equipment Visualiser app, revolutionises the equipment rental process, allowing users to interact virtually with our equipment, providing an innovative solution to minimise costs and environmental impact. This also improves precision in planning, further reinforcing our commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry through technology-driven solutions.”
