Abstract
The increasing complexity of industrial plants requires additional support for operators and service workers. Operators and service workers are employees in the smart factory who perceive and control the production and service processes utilizing an augmented view of the real factory. This augmented view can be realized utilizing mobile and wearable devices that are gaining increased popularity. However, it also requires corresponding wireless network support to enable an unrestricted mobility of the worker. In this paper we describe why wireless radio technology can make a significant contribution to enable new types of augmented reality applications. Moreover, we present and discuss various use cases, requirements, and frameworks for augmented reality applications in industrial environments.
