On August 11th and 12th, 2020, coSAM partners Actimage and Fraunhofer IVV had the opportunity to gain interesting insights into the processes of the packaging division of a large German pharmaceutical company. During the two days, the topic of Augmented Reality (AR) support for changeover processes was intensively discussed on site at our host. We were able to try out some of the AR tools already tested there directly on site and exchange experiences. In addition, we worked with changeover personnel to collect requirements for a changeover assistance system and discussed typical work steps using a sample changeover process. A highlight was also the Virtual Reality training system for operating personnel, which we were allowed to try out for ourselves.
All in all, we took many interesting impressions from the visit with us and will incorporate the experiences already made by our host into the project in order to be able to respond even more appropriately to the needs of future users with the coSAM setup assistance system. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank once again for the exciting insights.
