In the current industrial practices, the exponential growth in terms of availability and affordability of sensors, data acquisition systems, and computer networks forces factories to move toward implementing high integrating Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) with production, logistics, and services. This transforms today's factories into Industry 4.0 factories with significant economic potential. Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth Industrial Revolution, levers on the integration of cyber technologies, the Internet of Things, and Services. This paper proposes an Augmented Reality (AR)-based system that creates a Cognition Level that integrates existent Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to CPS. The idea is to highlight the opportunities offered by AR technologies to CPS by describing an application scenario. The system, analyzed in a real factory, shows its capacity to integrate physical and digital worlds strongly. Furthermore, the conducted survey (based on the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique method) reveals significant advantages in terms of production monitoring, progress, and workers' Situation Awareness in general.

通过集成增强现实和制造执行系统来实现对工业4.0的认知水平

在当前的工业实践中，传感器，数据采集系统和计算机网络的可用性和可承受性呈指数级增长，迫使工厂朝着在生产，物流和服务方面实施高度集成的网络物理系统（CPS）迈进。这将当今的工厂转变为具有巨大经济潜力的工业4.0工厂。工业4.0，也称为第四次工业革命，利用了网络技术，物联网和服务的集成。本文提出了一种基于增强现实（AR）的系统，该系统创建了将现有的制造执行系统（MES）集成到CPS的认知水平。这个想法是通过描述一个应用场景来强调AR技术给CPS提供的机会。系统，在真实工厂中进行的分析表明，它具有强大的物理和数字世界集成能力。此外，进行的调查（基于“情境意识全球评估技术”方法）揭示了在生产监控，进度和总体上员工的情境意识方面的显着优势。
