Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) plays a pivotal role in shaping modern industrial manufacturing, particularly as we transition into the era of Industry 5.0. This paper explores how AR enhances comprehension of intricate elements like robot movements and applied forces. It also addresses the complexity of planning production systems, offering a cost-effective alternative by overlaying virtual objects onto existing environments. While AR holds immense potential, this paper acknowledges its limitations, emphasizing the need for ongoing research to address these challenges. The integration of AR with industrial design brings about revolutionary shifts. By augmenting real-world environments with computer-generated data, AR profoundly influences the industrial design process. Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) emerges as a critical technology for smart manufacturing. A novel SAR-based system is introduced, providing real-time instructions, safety alerts, and posture assessments for manual work in future smart factories. In conclusion, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of AR's applications in the industrial domain, especially as we transition into the era of Industry 5.0. As AR systems continue to advance, their integration into various aspects of industrial manufacturing is poised to revolutionize the field, presenting both fresh opportunities and challenges.
