OPERATING AND CONTROL CONCEPT WITH A BIRD'S EYE VIEW FUNCTION AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE

Jürgen Müller
CEO
Graf-Syteco GmbH & Co. KG
Germany
Bird’s eye view systems are more and more present. High resolution IP-cameras
with large viewing angle are mounted around the vehicle and send their image to
a control unit, which calculates the bird’s eye view image of the vehicle’s
environment top view. This image is then presented to the driver on a display in
the cabin. Graf-Syteco has now integrated this functionality into operating and
control devices which show this image on the display parallel to the
visualization to reduce the number of displays in the cabin. Additionally, this
image is forwarded to an artificial intelligence which is able to detect people
and objects in the near environment of the machine and warn the operator with an
optical and acoustic signal. Even a machine stop is thinkable. Like an automatic
distance cruise control this new assistant system can help to avoid accidents
and makes construction sites a bit safer.

WHAT THE AUDIENCE WILL LEARN

 * With the bird’s eye image on the display the machine operator has the
   environment in view at any time
 * The artificial intelligence recognizes people and objects and issue a warning
   signal when it predicts that people will enter a dangerous zone soon
 * The combination of bird’s eye view and AI creates an assistant system which
   enables the operator, who is mostly concentrated on his work, to react early
   enough to avoid accidents

OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE IN MOBILE MACHINE CABIN
COOLING

Mark Mitchell
Managing Director and Global Director -Technical Support
Burgaflex and Unicla Group
Australia
Mobile cooling of cabins, cargo areas, batteries and EV systems represents a
significant percentage of the energy consumed in modern vehicles and machinery.
This impacts on the overall carbon footprint of any specific vehicle or machine.
This presentation will examine the HVAC/R systems needed to undertake these
tasks and examine them from a refrigerant flow perspective, and with an emphasis
on their implications for cabin design, and operator safety and comfort. The
choice of refrigerant and how each is used has significant impact on the
environmental and human safety outcomes when these systems are operated.
Specific attention will be given to techniques to reduce leakage, improve
performance and increase life cycles of complete HVAC/R systems.

WHAT THE AUDIENCE WILL LEARN

 * How to design and set up an efficient refrigeration circuit
 * Techniques to achieve low refrigerant gas leakage in high performance systems
 * Design parameters to ensure adequate flow of refrigerant in systems to
   enhance performance and the life cycles of equipment

USER INTERFACE DESIGN IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS – USING LOW EFFORT, MEDIUM
FIDELITY PROTOTYPING TO EXPLORE XR MODALITIES

Sebastian Lorenz
Research Associate
Technische Universität Dresden
Germany
This Presentation reports on our advanced prototyping framework for augmenting
multimodal human-machine interaction (HMI). The framework considers new tools
for developing advanced interaction technology and functionalities, their
perception, and communication with humans. It provides an interactive and
flexible environment to test and examine interaction concepts and the roles of
future operators. Implementing capable prototyping in early phases of product
development is essential in novel HMI to accelerate development processes and
reduce uncertainties regarding autonomous machines, making them easy to apply in
HMI development processes in the industry. We showcase some of our existing
prototypes and give an outlook for our XR-Prototypes in the TheiaXR-project that
will be designed to give insights into the design of user interfaces for
cyber-physical systems across all industrial domains.

WHAT THE AUDIENCE WILL LEARN

 * What makes XR-Prototyping so special?
 * What and how do we combine tools to achieve immersive and interactive
   prototypes with low setup efforts?
 * How do we effectively use prototyping for novel XR-HMI?

XR USE CASES IN CONTAINER HANDLING MACHINES

Pekka Yli-Paunu
Research Director
Cargotec Oyj, Kalmar
Finland
AR can be used to provide operators with real-time visualization of important
information, such as container positions and weight distribution. This can help
operators make more informed decisions and work more efficiently and safely. VR
and AR can be used to customize the user interface of container-handling
machines to meet the specific needs of individual operators. VR and AR
visualizations can help operators and maintenance teams monitor machine
performance and identify potential issues before they become major problems. AR
can be used to provide remote assistance to operators in the field. VR can be
used to provide simulation-based training to operators, allowing them to
practice operating the machines in a realistic virtual environment.

WHAT THE AUDIENCE WILL LEARN

 * Improve situational awareness of operators -> Improved productivity and
   safety
 * Improve UX of the machine’s HMI
 * Support maintenance persons remotely
 * Help to maintain machines correctly
 * Train employees without real machines
