Use of Mixed Reality as support in production at Kotanyi

Previously, maintenance, cleaning, and setup processes were handled without the support of mixed reality. Initially, a hands-free solution with voice control was desired. However, this proved unreliable due to loud ambient noise.

Login and process selection (maintenance, cleaning, etc.) are performed by scanning a QR code. Each system is uniquely identified, allowing the available processes to be loaded from the database (via the Data Access Module). The process is then started, and the user is guided through it step by step. Each step can include a photo or text documentation. This is particularly relevant if a step cannot be completed successfully.

The overall project, "Mixed Reality Based Collaboration 4 Industry," resulted from the collaboration of 22 companies and five scientific institutions from Lower Austria, Vienna, and Upper Austria (St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences Steyr Campus, FOTEC, IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, and Vienna University of Technology).
