Abstract

Industry 4.0 technology is promoted as improving manufacturing flexibility, and competitiveness; though Australia has been slow to adopt. The Australian Navy shipbuilding program provides opportunities for accelerating technology adoption, revitalising manufacturing productivity and competitiveness. Adopting a sociotechnical systems lens, our research sought to identify usability, workload, and user experience of an augmented reality head-mounted display (AR-HMD) deployed to complete multiple work tasks in a workflow (electrical assembly, collaborative robot (cobot) mediated inspection, and remote troubleshooting using video call). Usability was rated 'average' (System Usability Scale mean = 69.8) and workload 'acceptable' (NASA Task Load Index mean = 25.8) for the AR-HMD alone, with usability of the integrated work system (IWS) rated 'good' (SUS mean = 79.2). Results suggest software interfaces, tracking, and gesturing methods for the AR-HMD require improvement. This trial shows the AR-HMD provides a versatile platform for integrating multiple digital technologies without hindering effectiveness of end-user performance, potentially benefiting productivity and quality.

形成一种观点：装配中增强现实协作的人为因素案例研究。

工业 4.0 技术被宣传为可提高制造业的灵活性和竞争力，但澳大利亚在采用该技术方面进展缓慢。澳大利亚海军造船计划为加速技术应用、振兴制造业生产力和竞争力提供了机遇。我们的研究采用了社会技术系统的视角，试图确定增强现实头戴式显示器（AR-HMD）的可用性、工作量和用户体验，该显示器用于完成工作流程中的多项工作任务（电气装配、协作机器人（cobot）辅助检查以及使用视频通话进行远程故障排除）。仅 AR-HMD 的可用性被评为 "一般"（系统可用性量表平均值 = 69.8），工作量被评为 "可接受"（NASA 任务负荷指数平均值 = 25.8），集成工作系统（IWS）的可用性被评为 "良好"（SUS 平均值 = 79.2）。结果表明，AR-HMD 的软件界面、跟踪和手势方法需要改进。这项试验表明，AR-HMD 为整合多种数字技术提供了一个多功能平台，不会影响最终用户的工作效率，从而有可能提高生产率和质量。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
