ARIAS

Augmented Reality Industrial Assistant System

 
Computer Science

Project description

ARIAS demonstrates future interaction technologies, augmented reality and mixed reality, in production. Workers on a production line are intuitively supported with HoloLens glasses, so that efficient, hands-free, safe and coordinated work is possible.

 

ARIAS supports the user in assembling a Lego engineering tractor. The HoloLens MR glasses provide virtual assistance in the form of windows, 3D animations and 3D objects. In order to depict an industrial scenario, the assembly was designed as part of an assembly line. In complex processes such as an assembly line, there is often a division of tasks according to roles.

Central to this is the role of the fitter, who is responsible for assembling the procured components. Each of his orders is divided into steps, each step is visualised by an animated and interactive 3D model. Once a step has been completed, he switches to the next one until all the steps of the job have been completed and the construction phase is finished.
Another role is the picker. Its task is to assist the other roles by procuring the required parts from the parts warehouse. With the size of the product range, the warehouse quickly takes on unmanageable dimensions. The picker is therefore supported not only by displaying the appearance, shelf and compartment number of the component, but also by displaying a detailed stock plan. It must also be ensured that we have assembled everything correctly.

This is where the tester comes into play, his task is to check construction sections for errors.
In order to proceed as conscientiously as possible, he has an interactive 3D model of the respective section at his disposal, allowing him to compare the specification and reality as accurately as possible.They then tick off their results on a checklist that is displayed.

All tasks are distributed from the central server to the roles based on their dependencies to ensure co-operative working. This ensures that the work is carried out as seamlessly as possible and that the line produces efficiently.
