Notas del editor

  1. Ladies and gentelman, Welcome to our presentation. Thank you for your participation. Our title is «AUGMENTED REALITY IN INDUSTRY 4.0: ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SMEs» I’m Gülay Ekren. I’m from Turkey. I’m a Phd student in the department of Management Information Systems of Sakarya University. I’m very glad to be here with you.
  2. I want to introduce you my co-workers. They are from Turkey, too. Birgit OBERER and Alptekin ERKOLLAR from Sakarya University, Department of Management Information Systems
  3. I want to start with industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is expected to reach a high level of growth and productivity above forecasts over the next decade. Industry 4.0 also requires the acquisition of new technologies and business models. Providing access to advanced technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing) offered by Industry 4.0 requires a high level of maturity, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) Hence, SMEs face difficulties in adopting Industry 4.0 ideas and they are hesitant to invest in new technologies such as; printed QR codes, embedded Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, embedded devices, and Augmented Reality (AR) markers because of their high initial costs and a lack of trained manpower for using them
  4. AR means the integration of the information generated in the computer to the real life. AR plays a significant role in industrial environments. Most existing AR applications display the user's current environment with computer graphics, allowing the user to access and interact with information that is directly related to the environment in which they are located. They also offer support and facilitating opportunities for SMEs to comply with Industry 4.0. Most of the research efforts have focused on providing a suitable robotic programming method for SMEs using new concepts such as AR. They suggest that new technologies should be developed for SMEs in coming years.
  5. Current research activities indicate that there are deficiencies through enabling business applications that will align SMEs with Industry 4.0 as well as the necessary conversions, especially in areas such as production, retail, advertising, after-sales support, and marketing. This study aims to introduce industrial AR technologies that SMEs can use to improve their Industrial 4.0 capabilities as well as potentials that facilitate the process of SMEs' adaptation to Industry 4.0. Besides, a set of case studies is presented to examine opportunities of AR technologies for SMEs.
  6. Nowadays, there is a range of initiatives that have been launched in many industrialized countries to help SMEs make the digital transition. For example, in Europe, the initiatives named as "Industrie 4.0" in Germany, "Catapult" in the United Kingdom, and "Factory of the Future" in France and Italy. Besides, in China, a range of activities named as "Made in China 2025" initiative drives for more digitalization. Similarly, in the USA, a whole range of federally funded programs have been initiated to promote advanced manufacturing.
  7. SMEs are socially and economically important, since they represent 99% of all enterprises as well as around 65 million employments in the Europe European Commission (EC) has defined micro, small or medium-sized enterprises with specific, quantifiable boundaries taken into consideration with staff numbers and monetary amounts as shown in Table
  8. This table provides an overview of SMEs for their adoption to Industry 4.0. According to this table, direct consequences and challenges of SMEs for their adoption to Industry 4.0 based on such issues: horizontal integration over value-creation networks, consistency of engineering over the whole lifecycle, vertical integration and cross-linked production systems, new social infrastructures of work, and continuous development of cross-sectional technologies. From the micro perspective, Industry 4.0 mainly covers the horizontal integration as well as the vertical integration within smart factories. The horizontal integration is characterized by the cross-linked value creation modules along the material flow of the smart factory whereas vertical integration describes the intelligent crosslinking of the value creation factors such as product, equipment and human (Stock & Seliger, 2016). SMEs need the support and knowledge to develop those integrations in an efficient way (Faller & Feldmüller, 2015).
  9. Nowadays, AR moves from laboratories to various industries and consumer markets. It potentially can apply to all senses, including hearing, touch, smell and sight. Displays, trackers, software, graphics and computers are the fundamental parts of an AR system. In this study, rapidly emerging technologies that will play significant roles in the application of AR in SMEs are introduced. These technologies are determined as the most mature ones as well as shown the greatest development in the past decades.
  10. Tags are used in most of the current AR environments. These settings provide advanced physical interactions to users by pointing the portable and mobile devices as well as projectors on specific AR markers. Additionally, an AR tracking software can be used to identify and track specific markers resulting in 3D interactive representation. SMEs are usually lack of knowledge and training to develop AR markers such as QR Codes and to adopt new practices. However, these technologies are invaluable for supporting SMEs on how to improve their business processes without significantly increasing costs. Moreover, the usage of large-scale production systems via robots is not usually suitable for SMEs since the products are customized for a particular contact in SMEs.
  11. Visualization devices are one of the main elements of the augmented reality systems. AR applications usually rely on computer capabilities of mobile devices to produce visual output by using a geometric model of the real objects in the scene, or sensors that display navigation aids and information bubbles on a real-world view. Hologram technology is the next evolution in computing. Microsoft HoloLens is a wearable computer that can create holograms. Figure presents the predictive maintenance service for elevators which visualize and identify problems with elevators using Microsoft HoloLens.
  12. Nowadays, mobile devices come equipped with capabilities such as high-resolution touch screens, cameras, accelerometers, GPS, and compass, which make them ideal platforms for AR applications. However; they have limited resources related to their memory or processing power, and so these features restrict the techniques that are applicable in practice of AR when compared to dedicated industrial sensors used in previous larger AR setups. On the other hand, cloud computing technology providers to access and process significant amounts of data in real time as well as software-based functionalities on an ad-hoc basis, comparable with application programs that can be uploaded to portable and mobile devices when needed.
  13. Here are a few case studies to illustrate the diversity of opportunities for industrial needs of SMEs through AR technology. One of them is Index AR Solutions. This tool can be used to see pipe fittings of a ship that walks through the walls. When a staff overlaid the tool on the physical aspects of the ship, it gives the staff a 3D view of what they are looking at -- resulting in significant savings in time and stress
  14. Immersion demonstrates its AR capabilities via Sunna Design. They use an AR tool allows the whole staff to self-train quickly on the workstation. This tool reduces training time 80% for the entire staff as well as work arduousness 70%, and surface area 30% for per product. Hence, a production capacity multiplied by five compared to initial goal. This SME can be seen as a factory of future, and also a showroom.
  15. VTScada provides a product for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) industry. A plant uses AR solutions of VTScada to run their operations for water and waste water treatment for the town of Windsor in Canada. An augmented reality product; HoloLens have been using in their SCADA systems’ control.
  16. The SCS Concept and DMG provide an AR solution for manufacturing processes. A visual production guide can manage the production workflow according to the instructions for full operator guidance. Errors are automatically detected; for example, if the operator picks the wrong piece of assembly, the system is giving a warning as of both auditory and virtually.
  17. EquipCodes simply tags the products with QR codes, and then they can be scanned through dedicated software on smartphones and tablets by customers for getting valuable tools or resources. This app brings instructions out of the paper manual and presents them directly on the real equipment with AR overlays and 3D models. It is like an instructor standing right next to the equipment, so the staff can learn maintenance procedures as well as getting guidance for the most common installation correctly step by step.
  18. The transition of Industry 4.0 expertise and its enabling technologies in SMEs have seen a significant challenge for the future. AR technology will improve the companies in all aspects of their value chain from marketing to manufacturing and construction, to supervision, operations and maintenance. Early enterprise adopters will gain a significant competitive advantage over their competitors if they have more closely involved in this technology. A range of case studies presented here can help SMEs to add value to their business processes through AR technology in the vision of Industry 4.0. This study provides especially SMEs to leverage AR in their companies to gain that advantage as well as a roadmap for SMEs to adopt AR technology which has a high value in the Industry 4.0 area.
  19. Thank you so much for listening and of course your contribution as well as attention. Any question?
