Abstract
This paper reports the outcomes of a case study on evaluating the usability of AR-driven quality control solution conducted in real life production setting with highly complex, high value production characteristics. The AR solution has been evaluated by the production personnel from every organizational level, with main emphasis given to operators and process engineers. The results clearly indicate a significant usability of the solution in avoiding the quality defects in the assembly line driven by manual operations.
