Development of Augmented Reality (AR) application for Cable Terminations and Joints

摘要

With introduction of digital technologies and their wider acceptance throughout the power industry, asset managers were presented with new tools for maintaining equipment and training workforce on highly specialized procedures. This paper explores one possible application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology for maintenance of power cable terminations and joints, training of field engineers and technicians and digitization of installation procedures and quality assurance process. With input from end users and asset managers, G&W Electric has developed pilot AR applications for its joints and terminations that can be used with state-of-the-art AR devices and regular tablets.
