## Boeing

**AR case study (aerospace manufacturing).** Boeing used AR headsets to overlay assembly instructions directly onto aircraft components, achieving a **90% improvement in first-time quality** and a **30% reduction in task time**. The flagship example for [[concept-augmented-reality-training|AR technical upskilling]].

**External context:** This is the source's **most independently corroborated** case. Boeing's documented AR use on **wire-harness assembly** showed workers completing tasks ~**30% faster** with ~**90% fewer errors** versus paper manuals — figures consistent across multiple technical and vendor reports and frequently cited in AR/industrial-engineering literature.
