Entwicklung eines Augmented-Reality-Prototyps zur Optimierung der Instandhaltung von Wechselbrücken
摘要
Digitalization is becoming increasingly prevalent in the road freight transport. In the maintenance management of transport fleets, however, the regular inspection of the condition of swap bodies is still largely a manual activity in which the documentation of the results takes up a significant amount of time. This article uses a practical prototype development to show how experienced fitters can be digitally supported in documenting the inspection results of swap bodies using an augmented reality-based application. In contrast to the previous procedure of only confirming the inspection points in the inspection report at the end of the inspection, the augmented reality application offers step-by-step documentation during the execution of the work. For the development, practical requirements are first collected, validated by specialists and transferred to an AR-based application. The developed functions and AR content are then evaluated using a usability test. In order to demonstrate the potential for operationalizing the findings, the results are discussed in detail and implications are given for the future implementation of related artefacts.
