The adoption of modern maintenance training practices has the potential to create efficiencies in cost and time, while enhancing the quality of learning and maintenance outputs. In order to utilise the potential improvements that VR and AR, it is first important to understand the specific factors associated with VR and AR readiness and user requirement. The paper will describe the results from a number of interviews conducted within a range of manufacturing companies in the North East of England to establish the state of e-technology readiness and acceptance, with specific emphasis on VR and AR applications. The results will identify how VR and AR might be utilised, relative to the company's needs. A new 'model' for maintenance training utilising VR/AR technologies will be described combining cognitive models of decision making and learning.","PeriodicalId":39429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechatronics and Manufacturing Systems","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJMMS.2020.108310","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47711296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In European Union context interoperability is the ability of organisations to interact towards mutually beneficial goals, involving the sharing of information and knowledge between these organisations, through the business processes they support, by means of the exchange of data between their ICT systems. Interoperability of virtual factory synthesizes software components, application solutions, business processes and business context throughout the diversified, heterogeneous, autonomous procedure, assembled from multiple independent factories or smart/digital factory networks. EU H2020 “vF Interoperation suppoRting buSiness innovaTion” (FIRST) aims to provide new technology and methodologies to describe manufacturing assets; to compose and integrate existing services into collaborative virtual manufacturing processes; and to deal with evolution of changes. As a part of research results of the FIRST project, we present a comprehensive review on basic concepts of factories of the future, i.e. smart factory, digital factory, and virtual factory. The relationships among smart factory, digital factory and virtual factory are studied. In this paper, we define virtual factory interoperability and outline the research challenges related to interoperability of virtual factory.","PeriodicalId":39429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechatronics and Manufacturing Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41474603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
