“…Similarly, in their recent review of 82 articles focusing on the potentials and challenges associated with AR HMDs specifically devoted to aid logistics and supply chain management, Rejeb et al [29] pointed out that there are few studies that propose solutions to ergonomic challenges, especially when considering long-term usage. In addition, the authors explicitly recommend that AR HMD designers should work with ergonomics experts and ensure that devices are investigated across different working conditions.…”

In the context of a European project, we identified over 150 requirements for the development of an augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) specifically tailored to support highly challenging manual surgical procedures. The requirements were established by surgeons from different specialties and by industrial players working in the surgical field who had strong commitments to the exploitation of this technology. Some of these requirements were specific to the project, while others can be seen as key requirements for the implementation of an efficient and reliable AR headset to be used to support manual activities in the peripersonal space. The aim of this work is to describe these ergonomic requirements that impact the mechanical design of the HMDs, the possible innovative solutions to these requirements, and how these solutions have been used to implement the AR headset in surgical navigation. We also report the results of a preliminary qualitative evaluation of the AR headset by three surgeons.

“…With regard, for example, to the relationships between AM and AR, they indicate that these technological tools can support existing processes and activities in the value chain, from design and planning, training of human resources, inbound logistics, production operations, even logistics of sales and billboard [8]. One example is the application of smart glasses in advanced logistics and production environments, creating opportunities to develop and evaluate innovative solutions for work assistance, efficiency, satisfaction, and safety [9]. Other examples cited in the literature show how, combined, AR and AM may impact SCs: (a) AR can improve the fabrication speed in a SAM process, through the communication of the layout information between a reconfigurable AM system made of robotic arms and its corresponding digital twin for toolpath planning and simulation, allowing the introduce of multiple independent actuators for concurrent deposition of materials without collision among them [10].…”

Smart Additive Manufacturing: The Path to the Digital Value Chain

The aim of this article is to characterize the impacts of Smart Additive Manufacturing (SAM) on industrial production, digital supply chains (DSCs) and corresponding digital value chains (DVCs), logistics and inventory management. The method used consists of a critical review of the literature, enriched by the authors’ field experience. The results show that digital transformation of manufacturing is affecting business models, from resource acquisition to the end user. Smart manufacturing is considered a successful improvement introduced by Industry 4.0. Additive Manufacturing (AM) plays a crucial role in this digital transformation, changing the way manufacturers think about the entire lifecycle of a product. SAM combines AM in a smart factory environment. SAM reduces the complexity of DSCs and contributes to a more flexible approach to logistics and inventory management. It has also spurred the growth and popularization of customized mass production as well as decentralized manufacturing, rapid prototyping, unprecedented flexibility in product design, production and delivery, and resource efficiency and sustainability. SAM technology impacts all five Fletcher’s stages in DVCs. However, the need for clear definitions and regulations on 3D printing of digital files and their reproduction, as well as product health, safety, and integrity issues, cannot be ignored. Furthermore, investment in this technology is still expensive and can be prohibitive for many companies, namely SMEs.

“…For our presented SAIT to be successful in XR telementoring, there are many technical as well as societal challenges to overcome. Many XR industry experts also have identified urgent areas of improvement [4] as shown in Figure 11 Since the SAIT requires the use of smartglasses on mentors and mentees, various challenges of smartglasses are identified and being improved upon [48,49]. For example, to support the SAIT on everyday occasions, the weight of the HMD should be lighter.…”

The widespread adoption of wearables, extended reality, and metaverses has accelerated the diverse configurations of remote collaboration and telementoring systems. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges of interactive telementoring, especially for wearers of smartglasses. In particular, recent relevant studies are reviewed to derive the needs and trends of telementoring technology. Based on this analysis, we define what can be integrated into smartglass-enabled interactive telementoring. To further illustrate this type of special use case for telementoring, we present five illustrative and descriptive scenarios. We expect our specialized use case to support various telementoring applications beyond medical and surgical telementoring, while harmoniously fostering cooperation using the smart devices of mentors and mentees at different scales for collocated, distributed, and remote collaboration.
