Abstract

The assembly of components in the aerospace industry is currently supported by procedures based on work instructions. This documentation describes both the sequence of operations to be performed by operators and fundamental parameters of operation. However, sometimes difficulties arise, either by the difficulty of interpreting the information or because the process is too complex. This communication shows the results of the Project MOON (asseMbly Oriented authOring augmeNted reality) developed by AIRBUS Military. MOON uses 3D information from the industrial Digital Mock-Up to generate assembly instructions and their deployment by applying Augmented Reality technology. A prototype was developed for the electrical harness routing in the frame 36 of the AIRBUS A400M.
