Hands Tech: An AR-Based Framework for Real-Time Monitoring and its Application in 4.0 Industry

Sensor data is essential for process production, but direct interaction with equipment can lead to health risks, loss of time, and disruption. This article describes the creation of a framework based on Augmented Reality technology that allows users to view the real world through the camera while also seeing digital visual elements superimposed on the scene. An application using coupled tanks was developed, with visual resources that include the real-time display of the values corresponding to the volume of each tank. There is also a dashboard that presents information relevant to the plant control process, such as sensor and actuator outputs. The application efficiently creates a communication bridge between mobile and industrial plants, allowing operators to access equipment's relevant information quickly and safely without interrupting production.
