“…The idea of "smart" factories is no longer a futuristic vision but a commercial necessity. Independent publication, reports, and white papers from leading manufacturers report a planning reliability increase, higher shop floor utilization, and testing outsourcing benefits achieved using immersive component's application such as VR and AR [37][38][39]58]. Manufacturing industries, however, lack confidence in new immersive investments to upgrade their existing infrastructure due to concerns of underlying market fragmentation and costs involved.…”

Immersive technology for human-centric cyberphysical systems includes broad concepts that enable users in the physical world to connect with the cyberworld with a sense of immersion. Complex systems such as virtual reality, augmented reality, braincomputer interfaces, and brain-machine interfaces are emerging as immersive technologies that have the potential for improving manufacturing systems. Industry 4.0 includes all technologies, standards, and frameworks for the fourth industrial revolution to facilitate intelligent manufacturing. Industrial immersive technologies will be used for smart manufacturing innovation in the context of Industry 4.0's human machine interfaces. This research provides a thorough review of the literature, construction of a domain ontology, presentation of patent metatrend statistical analysis, and data mining analysis using a technology function matrix and highlights technical and functional development trends using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) models. A total of 179 references from the IEEE and IET databases and 2,672 patents are systematically analyzed to identify current trends. The paper establishes an essential foundation for the development of advanced human-centric cyberphysical systems in complex manufacturing processes.

“…The work of Hamid et al [42] identifies three types of VR systems: nonimmersive VR, semiimmersive VR, and fully immersive VR. According to Hamid et al [42], lower immersion types of VR are usually experienced through monitors or a bank of monitors, whereas fully immersive environments may make use of headsets or CAVE-type environments. According to Nielebock et al [43], the term mixed simulation is used to refer to a combination of DES and VR.…”

This paper reviews the area of combined discrete event simulation (DES) and virtual reality (VR) use within industry. While establishing a state of the art for progress in this area, this paper makes the case for VR DES as the vehicle of choice for complex data analysis through interactive simulation models, highlighting both its advantages and current limitations. This paper reviews active research topics such as VR and DES real-time integration, communication protocols, system design considerations, model validation, and applications of VR and DES. While summarizing future research directions for this technology combination, the case is made for smart factory adoption of VR DES as a new platform for scenario testing and decision making. It is put that in order for VR DES to fully meet the visualization requirements of both Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet visions of digital manufacturing, further research is required in the areas of lower latency image processing, DES delivery as a service, gesture recognition for VR DES interaction, and linkage of DES to real-time data streams and Big Data sets.

“…The sense of immersion can vary from nonimmersive VR to fully immersive VR. With regard to the levels, VR has recently been divided into a non-immersive, semi-immersive and fully immersive virtual reality [13]. However, due to the newly presence of commercial versions of VR systems, the situation changes and the level of semi-immersive virtual reality is practically lost.…”

The article provides a novel approach to the implementation of virtual reality within planning and design of manual processes and systems. The use of hardware and software required to perform different production  especially assembly  tasks in a virtual environment, using CAD parts as interactive elements, is presented. Considering the CAD parts, the format conversion problem is comprehensively described and solved using format conversion software to overcome the present poor data connectivity between the CAD system and virtual reality hardware and software. Two examples of work processes have been made in a virtual environment: peg-in-hole and wall socket assembly. In the latter case, the traditional planning approach of manual assembly tasks using predetermined motion time system MTM-2 has been compared with a modern approach in which the assembly task is fully performed within a virtual environment. The comparison comprises a discussion on the assembly task execution times. In addition, general and specific advantages and disadvantages that arise in the immersive designing of production processes using virtual reality are presented, as well as reflections on teamwork and collaborative man-machine work. Finally, novel technologies are proposed to overcome the main problems that occur when implementing virtual reality, such as time-consuming scene defining or tedious CAD software data conversion.
