Augmented reality visualization of production scheduling and monitoring

Abstract Scheduling and monitoring are two of the main components of production management that are crucial for the seamless function of production. Moreover, following the recent technological achievements, Augmented Reality (AR) is an upcoming way to display a variety of data in a more easily perceivable and intractable way. The proposed approach aims to couple production scheduling and monitoring along with augmented reality, in order to allow the user to interact with those components in a more realistic way. The proposed approach is validated in a case study of a real workshop.
