arrow-progressWorkflow Execution (iPad)

Overview

The Workflow Execution feature in the AR Genie Work Assist iPad app allows technicians to follow step-by-step guided procedures for maintenance, inspection, or assembly tasks.

Users can run workflows in two modes:

  • βœ… Non-AR Mode – view text, images, videos, tools & tips in a standard interface

  • βœ… AR Mode – overlay steps and media on real-world equipment using Augmented Reality

Once the workflow begins:

  • You can switch between AR and non-AR mode

  • If a step includes AR content:

    • A blue AR icon appears above the mode switch control in the bottom right corner.

We recommend:

  • βœ… Start in non-AR mode

  • βœ… Understand the step instructions

  • βœ… Switch to AR mode only when needed

This provides clearer orientation before using AR visual guidance.


Selecting a Workflow (Non-AR Mode)

Once an Asset Type is selected, available workflows are listed with step indicators.


Available Features in Non-AR Mode

Each workflow step may include:

  • βœ… Description text

  • βœ… Images

  • βœ… Videos

  • βœ… Tools required

  • βœ… Quick Tips

  • βœ… Next/Previous navigation

  • βœ… Resource count per step
