Efficient integration process of production data into Augmented Reality based maintenance of machine tools

Abstract With the increasing requirements on machine tools such as higher complexity, individuality and digitization, their maintenance becomes also more complex, which increases time consumption demands special knowledge. The engineer can be supported in this process using Augmented Reality (AR) technology, mobile devices suitable production data. This requires integration adaptation of documentation well further systems data CAD system, product management (PDM) manufacturing execution system (MES) CNC. For purpose, a method is developed that allows an efficient various into AR documentation. includes concepts for different design architecture. Basis analysis required systems, processes. aim to reduce high expenditure overall planning necessary expertise planner technology. verified with scenarios, devices.
