Applied Sciences, 2022
Augmented Reality (AR) has gradually become a mainstream technology enabling Industry 4.0 and its maturity has also grown over time. AR has been applied to support different processes on the shop-floor level, such as assembly, maintenance, etc. As various processes in manufacturing require high quality and near-zero error rates to ensure the demands and safety of end-users, AR can also equip operators with immersive interfaces to enhance productivity, accuracy and autonomy in the quality sector. However, there is currently no systematic review paper about AR technology enhancing the quality sector. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) to conclude about the emerging interest in using AR as an assisting technology for the quality sector in an industry 4.0 context. Five research questions (RQs), with a set of selection criteria, are predefined to support the objectives of this SLR. In addition, different research databases are used for the paper ...

Augmented reality technology in the manufacturing industry: A review of the last decade
IISE Transactions
The aim of this article is to analyze and review the scientific literature relating to the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in industry. AR technology is becoming increasingly diffuse, due to the ease of application development and the widespread use of hardware devices (mainly smartphones and tablets) able to support its adoption. Today, a growing number of applications based on AR solutions are being developed for industrial purposes. Although these applications are often little more than experimental prototypes, AR technology is proving highly flexible and is showing great potential in numerous areas (e.g., maintenance, training/learning, assembly or product design) and in industrial sectors (e.g., the automotive, aircraft or manufacturing industries). It is expected that AR systems will become even more widespread in the near future. The purpose of this review is to classify the literature on AR published from 2006 to early 2017, to identify the main areas and sectors where AR is currently deployed, describe the technological solutions adopted, as well as the main benefits achievable with this kind of technology.
Augmented Reality as a Tool for Production and Quality Monitoring
Procedia Computer Science, 2015
Augmented Reality (AR) as an info visualization tool can be used in manufacturing industries, where real time reports are essential for the decision making process. An organization must guarantee their processes are being monitored and constantly improved. That is why an AR system linked to an Computer Aided Quality (CAQ) Software is proposed as a solution to production monitoring. AR technology displays Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of each workstation inside an industrial plant, gathered from measuring devices and integrated in the CAQ Software; this information is transmitted to a mobile device via wireless and located with an Indoor Positioning System (IPS). The implementation of this system results in a dynamic tool that allows to reduce audit times.

While there is potential for improving the quality of human-assisted processes, manufacturing research focuses heavily on the use of robotics. This further increases demands on humans needed to setup, configure, and operate highly sophisticated manufacturing systems. Augmented Reality has the potential to significantly increase operational efficiency, add value, and reduce error in manufacturing. AR in manufacturing is of interest across many sectors and businesses, with more and more successful case studies being reported. There is great diversity in manufacturing. As a result, the requirements for precision and potential for automation and guided reproduction vary widely.
Improvement Of Realization Quality Of Aerospace Products Using Augmented Reality Technology
2016
In the aviation industry, many faults may occur frequently during the maintenance processes and assembly operations of complex structured aircrafts because of their high dependencies of components. These faults affect the quality of aircraft parts or developed modules adversely. Technical employee requires long time and high labor force while checking the correctness of each component. In addition, the person must be trained regularly because of the ever-growing and changing technology. Generally, the cost of this training is very high. Augmented Reality (AR) technology reduces the cost of training radically and improves the effectiveness of the training. In this study, the usage of AR technology in the aviation industry has been investigated and the effectiveness of AR with heads-up display glasses has been examined. An application has been developed for comparison of production process with AR and manual one.

Augmented Reality (AR) enhances the comprehension of complex situations by making the handling of contextual information easier. Maintenance activities in aeronautics consist of complex tasks carried out on various high-technology products under severe constraints from the sector and work environment. AR tools appear to be a potential solution to improve interactions between workers and technical data to increase the productivity and the quality of aeronautical maintenance activities. However, assessments of the actual impact of AR on industrial processes are limited due to a lack of methods and tools to assist in the integration and evaluation of AR tools in the field. This paper presents a method for deploying AR tools adapted to maintenance workers and for selecting relevant evaluation criteria of the impact in an industrial context. This method is applied to design an AR tool for the maintenance workshop, to experiment on real use cases, and to observe the impact of AR on produc...
