Abstract
Aircraft maintenance and assembly processes are intricate and demand high precision to ensure safety and functionality. One critical aspect is the assembly of wiring harnesses, which can be complex and time-consuming. This project proposes the development of a Mixed Reality (MR) application using Unity for the Microsoft HoloLens 2 to assist technicians in aircraft wiring harness assembly tasks.
By integrating MR, AeroVis shifts the assembly process from traditional, error-prone manual methods to a digital, interactive format. This transition addresses the complexities of aircraft wiring. MR headsets provide real-time, accurate instructions directly to technicians, streamlining assembly and reducing errors. This technological advancement not only enhances efficiency and accuracy but also represents a significant leap in bridging the digital and physical assembly processes.
AeroVis integrates various technologies, including OpenCV and Python for schematic scanning and data extraction, and the A* algorithm for efficient pathfinding. The Unity Game Engine plays a pivotal role in developing the MR application, offering a dynamic UI/UX. The project not only showcases the potential of MR in manufacturing but also sets new standards for aircraft assembly efficiency and precision.
This project exemplifies how the implementation of MR technology, through applications like AeroVis, can revolutionize traditional manufacturing and assembly processes. By bridging the gap between digital and physical realms, AeroVis offers a glimpse into the future of aerospace assembly, where precision, efficiency, and safety are enhanced by the seamless integration of digital instructions with real-world tasks. As the aerospace industry continues to evolve, the adoption of such technologies will be pivotal in maintaining the high standards of safety and functionality that are paramount in aircraft maintenance and assembly.
