The Use of Augmented Reality in Manufacturing Company’s Environment
This study presents a structured development and implementation process executed within the KAMAX manufacturing plant, leveraging a sophisticated technical workflow that integrates 3D scanning (via iPad Pro), the FataMorgana AR ecosystem, and Microsoft HoloLens 2 hardware. The goal is to practically show the possibilities of using the means of augmented reality in connection with specific hardware equipment, which helps in more agile management and functioning of a modern production company. A fundamental methodological advancement of this research is the deployment of a QR-code-based spatial synchronization protocol, which guarantees high-fidelity alignment during the superimposition of digital twins onto the physical production environment. Through a pilot initiative centered on the configuration of new manufacturing cells, the research empirically validates that AR-enhanced auditing substantially mitigates spatial design discrepancies. Specifically, the system excels at detecting physical interferences undetectable in conventional 2D blueprints, thereby streamlining the consultative and decision-making processes for organizational stakeholders during layout verification. These findings offer significant empirical evidence regarding the integration and interoperability of AR devices and IoT datasets within the broader Industry 4.0 paradigm.
