Augmented Reality 4.0: Opportunities and Challenges for Smart FactoriesGülay EKREN, Sinop University Birgit OBERER, Sakarya University Alptekin ERKOLLAR, Sakarya University
Industry 4.0 stands for the fourth industrial revolution and alsoindicates a new digital industrial technology that createsdisruptive changes in the process of industrial production.Industry 4.0 describes a paradigm shift in production technologyby boosting manufacturing productivity, shifting economics,creating big investments, fostering industrial growth and alsorevenue growth, modifying the profile of the workforce, changingsupply chains, business models and business processes andinnovation opportunities significantly.
What is the Potential of Augmented Reality?
According to the estimation of Digi-Capital (2015), AugmentedReality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) could hit $150 billion revenue by2020, as $120 billion for AR and $30 billion for VR. AR has themajority of market share and grows quickly.

Integrating AR into the industrial areas:Opportunities and Challenges
Hardware and Software Requirements of a Typical AR Tool
This study aims to explore the opportunities and challenges of ARfor Industry 4.0 and the smart factory. It provides an informationfor academics and practitioners for helping them in prioritizingtheir steps toward Industry 4.0.

Image target AR objects shall be scaled and anchored to the physical world without the requirement for an image target.
Additional features 3D view, an accelerometer, a wearable Bluetooth button, eye tracking, GPS, wireless microphone, wired or wireless
loudspeaker, web browser
Functions Minimum Software Requirements
Authoring AR content API links to connect other databases and websites, a user interface, displaying PDF, HTML, MP4, PPT and animated
slide show files
Selecting content storage from localization (on the smart device), cloud-based or secured server (hosted by a company behind firewalls)
Visual tracking not required the use of a specific type or style
Zooming and rotation Zooming in and out of, and rotating 3D content
Sharing Taking a snapshot or recording a video with the smart device display or session to share with others
Remote controlling “phone a friend” and obtaining guidance from a remote expert, sharing the content and vision of what they are
seeing
Annotation the ability for the SME and the worker to annotate within the field, to be notified when “called” by a worker, to
receive video calls from the worker on both desktop and mobile platforms, to send a file to the worker, to share
their desktop with a worker
Creating workflows Creating workflows by guiding step-by-step instructions to a worker including 3D animations
Assigning files Assigning files to a QR Code or to a third party notification (e.g. documents, drawings, videos, 3D animations, etc.)
Logging status Assigning a note or record to a QR code and then to review the note log for the QR Code, to log into the application
for the worker and SME
Connecting to IoT Including third party provided data, and also specific locations by creating a localization tags through the use of QR
codes, near field, RFID, and/or Bluetooth tags data. QR codes can be assigned to assets on the production floor.

• When the user sees the real world, digital content adds the user’s view via the camera and display of a handheld devices or a webcam of a PC
2
• Then, a method in AR software recognizes how, when, and where digital content should be applied to this real world view and creates the AR scene
3
• Next, AR software overlays a set of digital content (images, texts, videos etc.) and related interactions (pop-up infowindows, additional guidance, instructions, etc.)
4
• These processes are prepared in advance by content providers through a dedicated content management system and are stored locally in the user’s device or can be delivered on-demand web links
