In industrial environments, the organisation of space and layout is crucial to achieve efficiency in production processes. In the olive oil industry, traditional methods are based on CAD tools and two-dimensional representations, leading to problems of spatial interpretation and an increase in installation errors. The incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) offers a more innovative way to interact, improve planning accuracy and avoid operational costs by representing 3D models in real environments. In this study, an application is created that uses AR for planning the design of olive oil extraction machines in mills. The interactive spatial planning methodologies applied in the system consider relevant parameters including, among others, free areas, operational safety distances and workflow efficiency. The system was created using Unity 2022. The application enables users to locate, move and zoom machine drawings in real time, which considerably increases the accuracy of the design prior to installation. A study was carried out on the impact of augmented reality on machinery distribution, in contrast to traditional planning methods in the oil industry. A feasibility study was also carried out to assess the application, which included the integration of 3D models of the machinery in an augmented reality environment. Augmented Reality-based simulations were developed to allow operators and technical staff to visualise and interact in real time with the proposed equipment chains. The results emphasise the significant contribution of AR to optimise spatial planning and decision making in the olive oil industry. AR reduces machinery relocation costs and improves overall efficiency by making it easier for operators to identify installation errors before any physical modifications are made. Furthermore, AR democratises in-industrial design through an intuitive method, enabling planning and design by professionals who are not experienced in CAD software. Unlike commercial CAD tools that often require extensive technical expertise, this application allows users to interactively explore virtual models in the physical working environment, bridging the gap between design and final implementation.

摘要

In industrial environments, the organisation of space and layout is crucial to achieve efficiency in production processes. In the olive oil industry, traditional methods are based on CAD tools and two-dimensional representations, leading to problems of spatial interpretation and an increase in installation errors. The incorporation of Augmented Reality (AR) offers a more innovative way to interact, improve planning accuracy and avoid operational costs by representing 3D models in real environments. In this study, an application is created that uses AR for planning the design of olive oil extraction machines in mills. The interactive spatial planning methodologies applied in the system consider relevant parameters including, among others, free areas, operational safety distances and workflow efficiency. The system was created using Unity 2022. The application enables users to locate, move and zoom machine drawings in real time, which considerably increases the accuracy of the design prior to installation. A study was carried out on the impact of augmented reality on machinery distribution, in contrast to traditional planning methods in the oil industry. A feasibility study was also carried out to assess the application, which included the integration of 3D models of the machinery in an augmented reality environment. Augmented Reality-based simulations were developed to allow operators and technical staff to visualise and interact in real time with the proposed equipment chains. The results emphasise the significant contribution of AR to optimise spatial planning and decision making in the olive oil industry. AR reduces machinery relocation costs and improves overall efficiency by making it easier for operators to identify installation errors before any physical modifications are made. Furthermore, AR democratises in-industrial design through an intuitive method, enabling planning and design by professionals who are not experienced in CAD software. Unlike commercial CAD tools that often require extensive technical expertise, this application allows users to interactively explore virtual models in the physical working environment, bridging the gap between design and final implementation.
