Application of Augmented Reality for Equipment Maintenance and Employee Training in Manufacturing Plant

The industrial design development of AR devices provides a convenient way to use AR technology for production, training, and inspection. In this paper, the application of augmented reality technology is explored for industrial purposes through the professional engines, Unity and Vuforia SDK, for Android app development. A manufacturing plant is used as an example, and preventive equipment maintenance is achieved by an instruction presentation on a display. By using AR technology, new employees with average ability and little experience can accurately perform various on-site maintenance operations, which helps learn technical experience.
