Generation of AR-enhanced Assembly Instructions based on Assembly Features
Alexander Neb, Florian Strieg · Procedia CIRP · 2018
Writing assembly manuals for workers is a tedious and time-consuming task. After discussing some of the challenges in the field of Computer-Aided Assembly Planning, we introduce our approach to alleviate the burden of this task. We use different methods to firstly determine the assembly sequence of a product and second to assign each edge in the graph the appropriate assembly feature. Using a library of animation templates, AR-enhanced instructions are instantiated for each edge and positioned in the real world using the anchoring feature of the HoloLens. Our approach is showcased and evaluated using the Cranfield Assembly Benchmark.
