Abstract
In collaboration with PDM Technology, this thesis develops and evaluates a mobile solution that guides the assembly and disassembly of machines by combining Augmented Reality (AR) and Digital Twin technology. AR places step-by-step visual instructions on top of the real machine through an iPhone or iPad camera, while a Digital Twin is a detailed digital model that mirrors the machine’s physical parts and structure. We built an iOS app in Unity that uses the digital twin to determine the correct sequence of actions and uses AR to overlay instructions and highlight parts in the user’s view. The app was tested with users and reviewed by an expert from PDM Technology. The tests showed that the user experience needs improvements, but the AR and Digital Twin features helped users follow procedures and show strong potential to reduce errors and save time.
I samarbejde med PDM Technology udvikler og evaluerer dette speciale en mobil løsning, der guider samling og adskillelse af maskiner ved at kombinere Augmented Reality (AR) og Digital Twin-teknologi. AR lægger trinvise visuelle instruktioner oven på den virkelige maskine via et iPhone- eller iPad-kamera, mens en digital tvilling er en detaljeret digital model, der afspejler maskinens fysiske dele og opbygning. Vi byggede en iOS-app i Unity, som bruger den digitale tvilling til at fastlægge korrekt rækkefølge og AR til at vise instruktioner og fremhæve dele i brugerens synsfelt. Appen blev testet med brugere og gennemgået af en ekspert fra PDM Technology. Testene viste, at brugeroplevelsen kan forbedres, men at AR- og Digital Twin-funktionerne hjalp brugerne med at følge procedurerne og har lovende potentiale til at reducere fejl og spare tid.
