Work description
The work plan includes a review of the state of the art regarding the use of augmented reality technologies to support industrial maintenance, with a particular focus on high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The requirements, technical specifications and design of the augmented reality mobile application will be defined, taking into account the predictive, preventative and corrective maintenance processes for MCS chargers. Visualisation and interaction mechanisms will be designed and implemented to provide technicians with information on the equipment, operational data, alerts and guidance for carrying out maintenance procedures. The work will also encompass the integration of the application with the my.i-charging platform, with heterogeneous data sources and with the results of the artificial intelligence algorithms developed within the project. The solution will be systematically evaluated in both laboratory and real-world environments, taking into account its performance, usability, robustness, interoperability and suitability for the industrial context. User-centred design, software engineering and iterative development practices will be adopted, as well as practices that promote the documentation and reproducibility of the work. The plan will also include the analysis and critical discussion of the results and the preparation of technical documentation, reports and scientific publications.
