An Auxiliary Industrial Equipment Maintenance System Using Mixed Reality

The intellectualization of modern industrial equipment presents a great challenge to its maintenance. The traditional maintenance of equipment requires the repairer to reference related manual, resulting in low maintenance efficiency. And the attempt based on the Virtual Reality can not produce the real and operable experience. To solve the problems, we proposes an auxiliary equipment maintenance system based on Mixed Reality technology that superposes CAD model and other virtual information to the actual equipment using HoloLens. We take the maintenance of a gasoline engine as an example, mainly including troubleshooting, maintenance guidance and equipment part training, where users only need to follow the steps set by the system, and the experiment about system evaluation shows that it makes equipment maintenance work more simple, intuitive, convenient and efficient.
