Abstract

Several studies in the literature describe the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance worker safety in industrial environments. However, the applications described in these studies are designed for predefined areas with predefined alerts. This work proposes a system architecture for displaying hazard alerts in AR devices. These alerts are detected by strategically placed sensors within the industries. The main innovation of this architecture is the ability to add new sensors and create new regions where workers will receive safety alerts without the need to develop entirely new applications. Experiments have demonstrated the system’s reliability and low latency in alert delivery.
