Effects of cyber-physical production systems on human factors in a weaving mill: Implementation of digital working environments based on augmented reality

Smart manufacturing concepts merge modern production machinery and digital technologies in Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). CPPS consist of intelligent, real-time-capable, networked sensors and actuators. Operation of such advanced machinery requires substantial employees' skills in various qualification phases. This holds true for different industries, such as the German textile industry. An important measure that is intertwined with the implementation of advanced manufacturing concepts in textile production is supporting employees in their development of skills concerning smart manufacturing concepts. For this purpose, the development of Augmented reality (AR)-based assistance systems in connection with up-to-date textile machinery is regarded as a promising step towards the successful implementation of adequate, user-adaptable digital working environments in the textile industry. As the implementation of such assisted digital working environments in industrial organizations poses challenges, they might most adequately be addressed by adhering to standardized implementation procedures.
