This document discusses augmented reality and its applications in industry. It describes JoinPad, a company that develops augmented reality software for industrial uses. JoinPad presented a wearable AR solution for maintenance and diagnostics in 2011. Their focus is on developing context computing platforms for the industrial sector, especially energy, automotive, transport, and oil and gas. These platforms integrate IoT, object recognition, geolocation, and artificial intelligence to provide workers with relevant information and assistance in real-time through wearable devices and augmented reality interfaces. This improves processes like asset management, work order management, and remote maintenance assistance.

9. Today’s state of the art

10. INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
is bringing IOT everywhere;
SENSOR INTEGRATION is
widespread in the Industrial sector;
sensors produce RAW BIG DATA
needed to be processed by a new
generation of AI ALGORITHMS;
PROCESSED DATA need to be
returned to improve efficency.

11. NEW APPROACH TO INFORMATION
PAST
User had to access the database
to get the information needed.
USER DATABASE
@plumfake | @JoinPad #UXCON16

12. NEW APPROACH TO INFORMATION
PRESENT
User receives the needed
information from the elements
around him: objects, location,
other users and sensors.
USER

13. Introducing the ‘‘3 S’’ Rule:
the new Information behavior
While in the past the information had just to be accessible, now it has to be:

14. The ‘‘3 S’’ Rule
SHAREABLE Among different systems and users in real time
@plumfake | @JoinPad #UXCON16

15. The ‘‘3 S’’ Rule
SMART It reaches the right user at the right moment
@plumfake | @JoinPad #UXCON16

16. The ‘‘3 S’’ Rule
SIMPLE Easy to understand
@plumfake | @JoinPad #UXCON16

17. NEW PLATFORM GENERATION
This environment generates the
need of new software generation
and a new approach to industrial
processes: a software that becomes
adaptive to the user and able to
detect the context of his situation.
