[POSTER] Augmented Wire Routing Navigation for Wire Assembly

Abstract

Within modern manufacturing, digital solutions are needed to optimize and aid shop floor processes. This includes user-centered technologies that can be appropriately integrated into factory environments to assist in the efficiency of manufacturing tasks. In this paper, we present a dynamic system to support the electrical wiring assembly of commercial aircraft. Specifically, we describe the system design, which aims to improve the productivity of factory operators through the integration of wearable and mobile solutions. An evaluation of the augmented reality component of our system using a pair of smart glasses is reported with 12 participants, as we describe important interaction issues in the ongoing development of this work.
