Targeted Augmented Reality System – Assisting Operators in Fixing Frequent Faults Detected at Test Stands

Abstract

The main theme of the project is to eliminate common failures in halls equipped with specific bearing test equipment. The subject, which is being set up and carried out in partnership with a production plant in Romania, is to design a comprehensive project to help detect and repair damage to the test benches at the company's test centre in Brasov. Internally, the machines on which tests are carried out are called test stands, so the work relates to test stands with faults such as oil leaks. The underlying problems that hamper the testing process are oil leaks due to possible cracks in the hoses that supply the test stands with lubricating oil or oil that serves as a test medium for the bearings. Once damage is detected, the aim is to repair it quickly and efficiently. From this point of view, the work helps non-technical staff, so the application is to develop an augmented reality system to help operators troubleshoot using the equipment available - in particular the HoloLens glasses that are the flagship of the project.
