Industry 4.0 or Industrial IoT both describe new paradigms for seamless interaction between human and machines. Both concepts rely on intelligent, inter-connected cyber-physical production systems that are able to control the process flow of the industrial production. As those machines take many decisions autonomously and further interact with production and manufacturing planning systems, the integration of human users require new paradigms. In this paper, we provide an analysis of the current state-of-the-art in human machine interaction in the Industry 4.0 domain. We focus on new paradigms that integrate the application of augmented and virtual reality technology. Based on our analysis, we further provide a discussion of research challenges.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); • Applied computing → Industry and manufacturing; • Software and its engineering → Designing software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
