Paper Abstract:
|
The Nomadic Use of a Plant Model (Nose) project defines an open framework specification for nomadic plant usages.
The project implements a tool, called Simantics Mobile, which incorporates the functionality supporting a marker-based
mobile learning system in a manufacturing and factory platform. In theory, Simantics Mobile extends the provision
beyond the classic mobility and ubiquity (i.e. anytime and anywhere service). Its primary intention is rather to retrieve the
right information at the right time and in the right place. The learning contents, including the plant-related information,
are semantically described by a set of ontologies and systematically maintained in physical storages distributed across a
process plant. The heterogeneous ontology domains are coherently interconnected, exchanging their knowledge by means
of the protocols defined in the Simantics architecture. Based on an augmented reality (AR) technology, a marker-based
recognition is exploited, invigorating an intuitive user interaction. A marker adds the certain contextual information to the
equipments in a plant. They are visually detected by a mobile camera, and the learning content is subsequently displayed
on a mobile screen, accordingly. This paper documents the works in the Nose project and discusses the feasibility of the
marker-based m-learning provided by the Simantics Mobile. At the end of the paper, the pilot study carried out at Stora
Enso Kvarnsveden, a paper mill in Sweden, is demonstrated, and the practicality of the first prototypical implementation
of Simantics Mobile is also exhibited. |
