Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality for Maintenance 4.0

Abstract

According to the journal (the m.a.g of economics 2021), the term "Industrial Revolution" defines many of the factors that have changed the world since the 18th century through technological innovation, new modes of production, and means of communication. Socially, the Industrial Revolution represents a transition from a society primarily based on agriculture and crafts to industrial and trading companies.

In these recent years, many things have been reported about the transformation called "Industry 4.0". Still, many managers don't know much about it. Switching to Industry 4.0 has the potential to increase productivity, significantly reduce costs, and significant improvement of product quality by introducing digital technologies

In general, technology allows for the control of production at each stage of the process, which improves the product’s quality. It also helps to reduce – if not eliminate – downtime thanks to equipment data that alerts maintenance men when it's time to perform sustention checks and alerts them about potential problems.

Industry 4.0 is based on information technologies such as” big data”, which is a technological domain dedicated to analyzing a large volume of computer data, IOT, or “internet of objects”. In this paper, we are interested in augmented reality which designates a virtual interface, in 2D or 3D, which enriches reality by superimposing additional information.

In this project, we focus on augmenting reality by creating assistant intelligent glasses. Which has the goal of allowing the maintainer to have accurate and detailed information by recognizing the equipment in front of him keeping a clear large view, and gaining precious time All of this without the use of hands or exert much effort.
