Context-Aware Documentation in the Smart Factory

In every factory environment, errors and maintenance situations may occur. They must be handled quickly and accurately. This article describes a semantic application for automatically retrieving technical documentation for fixing such errors and presenting them to factory personnel. For this, machine raw data is collected and semantically enriched using Complex Event Processing (CEP). Semantic events are mapped to technical documentation via an ontology. Particular focus is drawn on the user experience of the semantic application.
