Arworks Short Intro

4. Smart Factory (a recap)
5S Lean
Management
Industry
4.0
Adding automation and data
exchange to manufacturing
technologies. It includes cyber-
physical systems, the Internet of
things, cloud computing
and cognitive computing.
A systematic method for waste
minimization "Muda" within a
manufacturing system without
sacrificing productivity.
5 areas to control
Seiri / Sort
Seiton / Straighten
Seiso / Shine
Seiketsu / Standardize
Shitsuke / Sustain
There are various methods to optimize manufacturing and reach high efficiency, safety and quality – and each of them can
be supported in various ways by Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality solutions.

5. AR-VR (and MR) Comparison
• Vitual Reality is replacing the surrounding around the user fully while
Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality is not, in that case you still see what’s around
you in the real world
• Between MR/AR the big difference is that while AR simply adds a usually 2D info
layer to the real world – hotspots, explanations, text/number info – MR places a
3D object or any other object in the real world which looks like its really there
and actually part of it.

6. Additional Used technologies
Besides AR/VR, additional new technologies can be added to the solution
• iOT
• To present real time data from the physical machine/space on the 3D virtual digital twin
• GPS
• To show movements of bigger scale within the factory
• ML
• To predict failures – and show their expected occurrence on the Digital Twin.
• AI
• To automatically control the manufacturing process
• 5G
• To have a 2-5 milisec latency opens up a truly real time remote presence

7. Starting Point

8. The Digital Twin
For most of the ideas, a 3D virtual Digital Twin of the covered part should be
prepared
• The twin can be of different scale, depending on the purpose we want to use it.
The detail level can be:
• Factory
• Line
• Machine
• Product
• Characteristics of the Digital Twin
• It’s size is similar to the original one
• Its an accurate, animated copy of the original one
• Details are depending on the use case
• Interactive functions can be added
• Real time info can be added

9. System structure
Frontend App and Device
• Depending on the solution this can be some type of AR/VR Glass or other smartphones/tables.
Back End Database
• Static
• Storing all the data – numeric, photo, video or 3D – which is presented through the front end device
• Real Time Connection
• The data can be a static one – like the 3D shape of a machine – or a dynamically changing one – like the temperature of the machine
CMS
• Users can edit the data in the system
Network
• The connection between the front and back end is managed by a local, dedicated, usually wireless network
Multiuser
• Some solutions could be avaialable in multiuser mode.
Our concepts includes a front end application running on a VR/AR device and a back end
solution, with a connected Content Management System to manage content.

10. VR Devices

11. • Samsung Gear
•Samsung Odyssey

There several different devise with different strength – but with different flaws as well.

19. Factory AR
Throughout the AR glass, various spots, locations in the
factory can be augmented with digital content. Lines,
logistical routes, storage areas, etc
Can be used:
• Navigation within the factory
• Showing all key parts, preferred routes within the site –
great for visitors
• In any evacuation situation, helping staff to leave the
premises
• Data visualisation
• Any production, quality, HR, safety data which is connected
to certain locations within the factory, can be shown on its
actuals spot – even real time

20. Line AR Replica
While looking at on the manufacturing line, data
routes, heatmaps are appearing at the
corresponding spot
Can be used for:
• 5S
• Showing best movements between lines and
storage/parts
• xRay Service
• Maintenance personnel can see actual performance
values, problems while wearing a glass
• Necessary maintenance tutorials could be shown on
the spot while working on the problem
• Line performance indicators
• Shown on the spot: speed, capacity, daily tasks
• AR heatmaps for downtime, quality issues from the
end product shown at thepoint of occurrence

21. Workstation AR Replica
While standing besides the workstation/machine,
various information connected to that step is
appearing on the glass

A simple and already known solution to show employees the location of items in the
warehouse through an AR glass/Smart device

25. Big Data VR
Visualising aggregated data of production, capacity, performance, etc in a 3 dimensional
dataspace accessible throughout a VR Glass
Advantages:
• Animated data to recognise trends and patterns more easily
• Presenting huge amount of data in an easily understandable way
• Showing the data on the digital twin of the machines, lines
More on this, here: http://www.arworks.com/en/portfolio-item/big-data-vr-visualisation/

26. HR
HR can also use a VR solution for various purposes – like on Job Fairs to
present the company easily or for efficient Blue or White collar
trainings, etc.
• Factory 360 video tour
A 360 video recorded in the factory at various places – so when the potential
employee watch it through a VR glass he will feel like he is actually there and
understand the working environment much better.
Can be used on:
• Job fairs
• Site visits
• Emergency Evacuation
A VR app with a factory 3D model in it is used to train employees to learn how
to react and leave the factory within the shortest time – even in smoke, fire or
nearly complete darkness.
• Simulators
Training line workers, maintenance personnel in simulators so the production
don’t have to be stopped for training.

27. Sales
VR Showroom
Our existing VR showroom is a simple idea –
showing all of the client’s products in a virtual
space without any limitations in its size.
The app can run in the offices, on expos or at
client’s meetings.
We’ve done it for cars and elevators – this one
with a special configurator option, too.
Case study: Car - Elevator
AR on site Product demo
• There could be situations when showing a real size
product – industrial press, robot, lab equipment,
anything – at its future spot in the factory could help
the client on his decision.
• An AR based app, containing the 3D model of the
product can just do this.
• Case study: ASM, a printed circuit printing machine
manufacturer Link
With industrial products, it is usually difficult to show the full modell range – there are usually
so many variations, a showroom with all available products could be too expensive. Also
bringing the products to sales meetings or exhibitions can be really hard – or simply
impossible. VR and AR can solve these problems

28. Please, let up know if you think that we can proceed with any
of our concepts.
