Augmented reality technology(VR) can be applied to deal with electronic wiring harness system



Augmented reality technology (AR) has been applied in the automotive transport sector for many years, but has not entered the ranks of the mainstream configuration. Such a situation will change, because the manufacturers and service team found that the technique can be applied to the processing of electronic wire harnesses and other complex systems.

Augmented reality technology can help service technicians and factory assembly personnel to visualize specific processes, headphones, and projection equipment group related tasks can encourage their employees to use the correct step in the work process. Compared to virtual reality, augmented reality technology easier and more interactive, allowing people to combine real world and the virtual image together. But augmented reality technology so far are only used in some special circumstances, it did not become mainstream configuration. 2016 Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) World Congress, members of the Technical Group of Experts lively discussion of the potential development of technology applications.

In order to successfully implement augmented reality technology must be related hardware and software equipment for application. Electronic wiring harness belongs to one of the potential applications in which the system structure and layout already complex, increased lighting facilities will cause the system more complex. Electronic wiring harness repair technicians often make headache member, regularly unable to accurately obtain the desired conductor, augmented reality technology can help solve this puzzle mechanics.

Ford overall design of the 25-40 main electronic wiring harness, thus giving service department left a lot of trouble. Determine the direction of the harness layout is very important, through augmented reality technology verification process becomes simple and convenient, the service technician can directly see to harness, electronic wiring harness without the need to first study the system drawings. Layout drawings using the linear structure, it seems very clear, but various electronic wiring harness on the actual vehicle tend to congregate mixed together.

Augmented reality technology can also be applied to non-highway vehicle markets, related equipment installed in the manufacturing plant. Non-road vehicle has a range of optional functional configuration, electronic wiring harness is quite complex, you need to install the wiring harness assembly personnel structure they are often different. Caterpillar excavator over 30% of all customer-defined products, it does not look the same electronic wiring harness. Every time a new model to see the art, electronic wiring harness design is also likely to be different. Service vehicle wiring harness is very long, and even take their mechanic four hours to get the correct length. If the application assembler augmented reality technology, you do not need all the time to maintain a high concentration of energy.

Hinder the promotion of augmented reality technology that presents a virtual affected equipment, helmets, goggles joint volume is too large, it will limit the scope of the user's peripheral vision, may cause appear manufacture / repair shop in some of the injured condition. Some users recommend the use of projection equipment in the factory, so there is no need to re-worn those bulky devices. Augmented reality device battery continuous use time, heat dissipation, and security is a key issue of technological development, not too hot affect the user equipment worn, regional projection device is very efficient alternative.


Experts stressed the development and application of augmented reality technology solutions is challenging, stable infrastructure development and layout help promote the technology. Now augmented reality technology has not been a lot of industry standards, and Huawei has been promoting the organization of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) set up a working group to develop industry standards as soon as possible.
