Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) applications have seen a rise in industry in the last few years, due to technological advancements in many of its fundamental areas, such as display and sensing technologies. AR has been used as a driver for supporting human operators in fully manual and semi-automated systems, proving its usefulness in areas such as operation and reconfiguration instructions, safety and resource status awareness. This paper presents an AR application that integrates a set of support features based on the latest advances in AR. The application covers all the aforementioned areas of interest, by including digital instructions, malfunction alerts and resource state visualization in one unified framework. An Asset Administration Shell (AAS) framework has been developed for integration and data exchange between the application and the overall industrial network. The developed application has been validated in an industrial-components-manufacturing case study. Nevertheless, its modularity allows for the adaption in other varying industrial sectors as well.
