“…Those approaches, which combine the real system behaviour with its virtual representation, allows dealing with many optimization problems, such as the deficiency and the lack of control over the data, fragmented between different parts of the system while getting a realistic representation of the system. In that sense, digital twin is an evolution of monitoring, diagnostics, and optimization tools, based on a web-based approach, developed before the introduction of the Industry 4.0 (Moore et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2004). In (Moore et al, 2008), a 3D virtual engineering approach (VIR-ENG) is proposed to access data, through a web service or a socket connection, in order to perform Internet-based monitoring integrated into virtual engineering tools.…”

In the context of the Industry 4.0 and of the digital factory, digital twin and virtual reality represent key technologies to design, simulate and optimize cyber-physical production system and interact with it remotely or in a collaborative way. Moreover, these technologies open up new possibilities which can be involved in the co-design and ergonomics studies of workstations, based on Industry 4.0 components like cobots. In order to satisfy these needs and to create dynamic and immersive virtual environment, it is therefore necessary to combine the capacities of the digital twin to perform simulation of the production system with the capacities of the immersive virtual environment in term of interactions. This paper proposes a co-simulation and communication architecture between digital twin and virtual reality software, then it presents a use case on a human-robot collaborative workplace design and assessment.

<p>Virtual Reality is a computer-generated, mock environment that can allow people to interact with it in a seemingly real way by using certain types of specialized equipment. It is mainly used for training or educational purposes and allows for “real-life” training in a safe and monitored environment. Virtual training can be used in many different fields such as medical, military, biomedical research, aviation, and many others. However, this paper reviews the most cited publications related to the application of virtual reality for training in the United States Military. As a result, researchers can find research venues based on the challenges, risk, and infrastructures.</p>

“…During last two decades, virtual reality (VR) techniques have been widely applied in manufacturing, for example, machine service support (Moore et al 2008) and VR-based workshop (Aurich, Ostermayer, and Wagenknecht 2009). VR together with virtual prototyping (VP) (Xia et al 2006;Zorriassatine et al 2003;Kuo and Wang 2012) has been widely used to simulate and evaluate assembly in the early design stage (Wu et al 2011).…”

Assembly planning and evaluation in an augmented reality environment

Assembly planning is very critical in the product design process. Previously, computer-assisted assembly planning is mostly conducted in either an automated or interactive manner. Automated approaches can only be applied to products with simple component configurations, whereas extensive user input in the tedious form of answering questions is required for interactive approaches. Both kinds of approaches do not address issues related to human factors and ergonomics, which cannot be ignored in assembly planning especially in manual assembly. Using augmented reality technologies, an intuitive and efficient approach is proposed for manual assembly planning and evaluation by combining the potential strengths of the two kinds of approach. An AR-assisted assembly planning and evaluation system has been developed to implement the proposed methodology with the use of a 3D bare-hand interaction (3DBHI) tool. After loading all the parts of an assembly into the proposed system, assembly modelling is first completed through assembly geometrical constraint recognition and assembly location refinement with the use of the proposed 3DBHI tool. By analysing the disassembly process, precedence constraints are captured and used to search for feasible assembly sequences from all possible sequences, which are generated using an existing method. Finally, practical or good sequences are selected from the feasible sequences by exploiting an assembly index based on objective evaluation. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the application of the methodology and system. IntroductionAs the competition of the manufacturing industry is increasing throughout the world, many companies tend to improve product quality, reduce product development cost and shorten time of design-to-assembly for new products. Assembly processes constitute a majority of the cost of a product (Boothroyd and Dewhurst 1989). In the assembly planning process, assembly sequences which are the backbone of assembly plans are generated and assembly operations which describe how different parts will be assembled together are formalised. Production efficiency will be improved and a large amount of cost will be reduced if a product is assembled according to a well-planned assembly sequence.Traditionally, assembly sequence planning has been conducted by either product designers or production engineers manually using either 2D drawings or physical prototypes of the product based on their intuition and experience. Nowadays, since products have become increasingly complex and the number of components has increased exponentially, manual assembly sequence planning has become impractical. In addition, physical prototyping is time-consuming and expensive for users to verify the ease of assembly. Moreover, additional cost will be incurred if there is any design change of certain components of the product. The rapid development of computer science and technology provides an alternative to solve this issue. In order to ease assembly sequence planning, research efforts have been made ...
