CASE STUDY: ENHANCING HUMAN RELIABILITY WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AUGMENTED REALITY TOOLS FOR NUCLEAR MAINTENANCE

摘要

Human error accounts for about 60% of the annual power loss due to maintenance incidents in the fossil power industry. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that 80% of industrial accidents in the nuclear industry can be attributed to human error and 20% to equipment failure. The Personal Augmented Reality Reference System (PARRS) is a suite of computer-mediated reality applications that looks to minimize human error by digitizing manual procedures and providing real-time monitoring of hazards present in an environment. Our mission is to be able to provide critical feedback to inform personnel in real-time and protect them from avoidable hazards. PARRS aims to minimize human error and increase worker productivity by bringing innovation to safety and procedural compliance by leveraging technologies such as augmented reality, LiDAR, computer machine learning and particulate mapping using remote systems.
