Implementasi Realitas Berimbuh pada Antarmuka Manusia-Mesin di Industri Proses

Abstract

Process industries such as oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and power plants require a human-machine interface system to monitor continuously. The operator usually carries out monitoring via a human-machine interface. However, it is difficult to know the condition of process equipment in real-time. The implementation of augmented reality allows engineers to visualize process equipment in real-time when conducting field inspections. The implementation of augmented reality at the human-machine interface to the fluid catalytic cracking process in an oil refinery is discussed in this paper. The design was started by developing a three-dimensional process equipment model using Autodesk Inventor. The result of the three-dimensional model then using Unity 3D software connected to the Vuforia Engine was implemented on a gadget into an augmented reality application. Data communication performance analysis was carried out using inferential statistics methods to test variations in service quality at levels 0, 1, and 2. The result of the Tukey test showed that the communication network latency value in level 2 was significantly higher than levels 0 and 1, which was 0.704±0.108 seconds. These results indicate that augmented reality can be implemented on human-machine interfaces by ensuring the quality of data communication services using Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol at levels 0 or 1.

Metaverse-based Water Level Simulator for the Festo MPS PA Workstation

“…One of the virtual reality-based technologies previously developed is the simulation of level and temperature control systems found in the Festo modular production system (MPS) process automation (PA) workstation [20]. The research uses the Unity platform to create an immersive simulation application that can be accessed with augmented reality [21,22] or virtual reality [23,24] head-mounted devices. Utilizing the metaverse is expected to advance this research, enabling it to have more open communication access among users and in data communication with physical workstations.…”
