Abstract
Maintenance is crucial in prolonging the serviceability and life span of equipment. As manufacturing facilities become more complex, it is often beyond the skills of an individual to perform a completely satisfactory task. This paper presents a novel real-time equipment maintenance system incorporating augmented reality (AR) for context-aware overlay of textual and graphical maintenance instructions on the maintenance scene. The system provides an online communication interface for remote maintenance between equipment experts/vendors and maintenance personnel. Service and maintenance knowledge and experiences can be accumulated through authoring AR-based contents on-site. The proposed system can improve maintenance workflow and enhance equipment serviceability.
