摘要

Augmented Reality (AR) is reshaping industrial workflows by providing immersive, interactive solutions that enhance precision, efficiency, and sustainability. This paper explores the implementation of an AR-based Poka-Yoke Visual Assembly Guide within a Smart Learning Factory, focusing on its impact on manufacturing training and quality assurance. The proposed system integrates AR technology with lean manufacturing principles, guiding users through error-proof assembly processes while reducing reliance on traditional paper-based manuals. A comparative analysis of some AR development platforms like Reality Composer, Adobe Aero was conducted to assess their suitability for creating AR-driven instructional content. Additionally, a WebAR solution utilizing 8th Wall and A-Frame was developed to enable instant, app-free access to AR instructions via QR codes. To optimize user interaction, a 3D-printed ergonomic tablet stand, designed in SolidWorks, was implemented to support hands-free operation. By leveraging Poka-Yoke methodologies, the system minimizes assembly errors, enhances worker training, and supports sustainable industrial practices. The AR-based instructions provide real-time feedback, adaptive guidance, and interactive learning, reducing cognitive load and improving workflow efficiency. The study demonstrates how AR can drive error reduction, enhanced productivity, and waste minimization, aligning with Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing initiatives. The findings emphasize AR’s transformative role in digitalized manufacturing, paving the way for broader adoption in training, maintenance, and production. Future research will explore students’ experience and the integration of IoT-enabled AR analytics for further optimization of industrial assembly processes.
