Abstract


Integrating the Internet of Things into Industry 4.0 necessitates a mix of old and new technological approaches. The cutting-edge technology of the next manufacturing era is Augmented Reality (AR). The problems of the fourth industrial revolution, as well as advancements in AR technology, promise to boost productivity, work quality, user experience, and resource use. The combination of augmented reality and mass customization could meet expanding market demands and client functional needs. The goal of this paper is to use and test an augmented reality application that will allow customers to participate in the design process and solving the Facility Layout Problem within robotic production systems. The AR app will be tested and within an arc welding robotic cell.
