Virtual Reality Training Applications in Industry – Towards a User-friendly Application Design

Virtual Reality Training Applications in Industry - Towards a User-friendly Application Design

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Freitag, Benjamin Knoke, Moritz Quandt, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus-Dieter Thoben
The purpose of this research is to aggregate and discuss the validity of challenges and design guidelines regarding industrial Virtual Reality (VR) training applications. Although VR has seen significant advancements in the last 20 years, the technology still faces multiple research challenges. The challenges towards industrial VR applications are imposed by a limited technological maturity and the need to achieve industrial stakeholders' technology acceptance. Technology acceptance is closely connected with the consideration of individual user requirements for user interfaces in virtual environments. This paper analyses the current state-of-the-art in industrial VR applications and provides a structured overview of the existing challenges and applicable guidelines for user interface design, such as ISO 9241-110. The validity of the identified challenges and guidelines is discussed against an industrial training scenario on electrical safety during maintenance tasks.

Offshore Service Logistics 4.0

Offshore Service Logistics 4.0

Application potentials for offshore wind energy by applying Industry 4.0 approaches
Thies Beinke, Moritz Quandt, Michael Freitag ORCID Icon, Thomas Rieger
The economic operation of the offshore wind energy turbines is of fundamental importance for the industry. Due to the prevailing weather conditions at sea these operations require optimal plannung and control. This contribution presents the work process and information requirements of an offshore service company. Suitable industry 4.0 technologies are identified to increase information transparency for the supply chain. In conjunction with a cooperative planning and control instrument, a reliable basis of decison-making for the execution of service assignments can be provided. This constitutes a direct contribution to a reduction of operation costs for offshore service logistics.

The comprehensive digitalization of work environment constitutes major challenges in connection with new media and an extended human-computer interaction. In this context, service and maintenance proved to be an important field of application for this form of Industry 4.0. An adequate process execution and documentation has to be secured, even under challenging conditions, e.g. malfunctions on short notice, harsh working conditions or tight timeframes. These requirements as well as the increasing digitalization promote the application of Augmented Reality solutions in this area. With a focus on maintenance of wind energy turbines, this article describes the state of the art in relation to current solution approaches and development needs in connection with a process-oriented application of Augmented Reality. Therefore, current solutions that are already on the market are considered as well as results of the joint research project “AR Maintenance System”.

Application of Robotics in Logistics Companies

Application of Robotics in Logistics Companies

Core Work Processes, Education Modules and Lessons Learned
Frank Molzow-Voit, Florian Plönnigs, Moritz Quandt
Due to the growing application of robotic systems in logistic companies, the demand of qualified professionals is growing. The potentials of individualized robotic solutions are currently not exploited by small and medium enterprises. Therefore a target group specific further education for robotics in logistics has been developed. The modular design ensures the close connection of the education modules to the core work processes of the industry sector. The “Lessons Learned” summarize important insights from the educational scientific examinations in logistic companies as well as from the execution of the education modules.
