HCLINT-DT framework adapted to the Elettrotecnica Imolese use case: physical components of electrical switchboards are recognized giving the chance to read or write annotation that are mirrored in its DT in the virtual space, that also provides the same possibilities.

Firstly, the AR interface would run on an AR device like the Hololens, so the assemblers could keep going with their work without moving from the electrical board to the personal computer. Secondly, object recognition would prevent wasting time searching for the instruction/annotations regarding a particular component by immediately visualizing all the info in the shared document. The adaptation of the HCLINT-DT framework for this use case is visually reported in the Figure. In addition, thanks to the adoption of the HCLINT-DT framework, the workers’ Empowerment is provided with the use of state of the art tools and XR devices (e.g., HoloLens 2 and Htc-Vive), as confirmed by the assemblers, engineers, and testers which were interviewed during our analysis. The Communication improvement is given by the natural working mechanism of HCLINT-DT shared annotations. Finally, Training is a natural consequence of the same HCLINT-DT shared annotation mechanism since workers could analyze previously annotated documents to learn from others’ experiences.
