Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive examination of Augmented Reality (AR) in manufacturing, covering its introduction, types, implementation strategies, advantages, challenges, applications, and methodologies for implementation. We present a brief overview of AR technology in the context of Industry 4.0 and its significance in manufacturing. It highlights the potential of AR to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. We then discuss the various types of AR technologies relevant to manufacturing along with the working of AR technology. The numerous benefits of adopting AR in manufacturing and the systematic methodology for implementing AR in manufacturing environments is presented. Five applications of AR in manufacturing from real industries have been presented. The advantages, common challenges and barriers to AR implementation in manufacturing are discussed. This research provides a comprehensive roadmap for leveraging AR technology in manufacturing, offering insights into its potential, challenges, and practical implementation strategies.
