Industry 4.0 is moving forward under technology upgrades, utilizing information technology to improve the intelligence of the industry, whereas Industry 5.0 is value-driven, aiming to focus on essential societal needs, values, and responsibility. The manufacturing industry is currently moving towards the integration of productivity enhancements and sustainable human employment. Such a transformation has deeply changed the human–machine interaction (HMI), among which digital twin (DT) and extended reality (XR) are two cutting-edge technologies. A manufacturing DT offers an opportunity to simulate, monitor, and optimize the machine. In the meantime, XR empowers HMI in the industrial field. This paper presents an XR application framework for DT-based services within a manufacturing context. This work aims to develop a technological framework to improve the efficiency of the XR application development and the usability of the XR-based HMI systems. We first introduce four layers of the framework, including the perception layer with the physical machine and its ROS-based simulation model, the machine communication layer, the network layer containing three kinds of communication middleware, and the Unity-based service layer creating XR-based digital applications. Subsequently, we conduct the responsiveness test for the framework and describe several XR industrial applications for a DT-based smart crane. Finally, we highlight the research challenges and potential issues that should be further addressed by analyzing the performance of the whole framework.

A novel simulation approach for 3D surface topography that considers the elastic-plastic deformation of workpiece material during a high-precision grinding process is presented in this paper. First, according to the kinematics analysis for the abrasive grain during the grinding process, the motion trajectory of the abrasive grain can be calculated. Second, the kinematic interaction between the workpiece and the abrasive grains can be established, which integrates the elastic-plastic deformation effect on the workpiece material with the topography, the simulation results are more realistic, and the simulation precision is much higher. Finally, based on an improved surface applied to the grinding wheel, the surface topography of the workpiece is formed by continuously iterating overall motion trajectories from all active abrasive-grains in the process of high-precision grinding. Both the surface topography and the simulated roughness value of this work are found to agree well with those obtained in the experiment. Based on the novel simulation method in this paper, a brand-new approach to predict the quality of the grinding surface by providing machining parameters, selecting effective machining parameters, and further optimizing parameters for the actual plane grinding process, is provided.

“…Als limitierender Faktor werden vor allem nicht vorhandene Standardschnittstellen wie bspw. zum Import der in der Industrie stark genutzten Computer-Aided Design (CAD)-Modelle wahrgenommen(Bellalouna 2020). Bei der Gestaltung des User Interfaces (UI) für XR-Anwendungen ist zudem der Balanceakt zwischen spaßfördernden interaktiven UIs und einer gleichzeitig nicht zu überfrachtenden Ansicht, die zur Informationsüberflutung führen kann, zu meistern(Dahl et al 2020).…”

ZusammenfassungExtended-Reality-Technologien (XR-Technologien) haben in den vergangenen Jahren einen erheblichen technologischen Fortschritt erfahren. In der Arbeitswelt wird ihre Implementierung mit zahlreichen Vorteilen, wie z. B. Produktivitätssteigerungen, geringeren Kosten und verbessertem Lernen assoziiert. Dennoch stellt die disruptive XR-Technologie Unternehmen bei der Implementierung vor zahlreiche Herausforderungen, die sich von einer veränderungsresistenten Unternehmenskultur bis hin zu gesundheitlichen Bedenken bei Mitarbeitern erstrecken. Unternehmen fehlt es an Instrumenten, die das Innovationsmanagement bei der Überwindung dieser Hürden spezifisch unterstützen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wurde daher das XR-Canvas entwickelt, das als Workshop-Instrument zur Spezifikation und Implementierung von XR-Projekten in Unternehmen eingesetzt werden kann. Es integriert elf Handlungsfelder in den Dimensionen Technologie, Organisation, Umwelt und Anwender, die auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturrecherche identifiziert wurden. Abgeleitet von Experteninterviews werden final Handlungsempfehlungen gegeben, wie das Canvas die XR-Implementierung unterstützen und die organisationale Ambidextrie fördern kann. Somit liefert dieser Beitrag einerseits Erkenntnisse, welche Faktoren die XR-Implementierung beeinflussen. Andererseits liefert er eine Innovationsmethode, um diese Einflussfaktoren strukturiert in XR-Anwendungsfällen zu spezifizieren.
