Abstract

This research is the development of reality technology used to improve traditional maintenance training in manufacturing. The application of reality technology was adapted to use for 12.5% of training and learning, 7.33% of product design, 6.03% of safety, 5.17% of remote assistance, and 5.60% of telerobotic and robotics in the manufacturing community. Conventional practice is a lecture using text, images, or videos. Moreover, the method had to stop the machine from operating in the production line. Therefore, reality technology helps the trainee enhance their experience through training in virtual environments by simulating the machine's maintenance procedure. Additionally, the system offers convenience in learning and searching for information. However, this system was evaluated the satisfaction of the engineer for confirmation to be genuinely available. In the next stage, the system was tested by the expert engineer and comparing Mean Time to Repair and Mean Time Between Failure of the machine in the current. The experiment illustrated the maintenance time was reduced depending on training regularly.
