A CASE OF KIPEVU POWER STATION JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY A CASE OF KIPEVU POWER STATION
WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY Augmented reality is a live view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with virtual computer-generated imagery The merging of a real scene viewed by a user and a computer generated scene with additional information.

1 2 3 4 HOW DOES IT WORK View the environment Identify the target; JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 HOW DOES IT WORK System augments the real world scene User maintains a sense of presence in real world Needs a mechanism to combine virtual and real worlds Hard to register real and virtual 1 View the environment 2 Identify the target; GPS coordinates (Markerless) Object tracking Marker based 3 Computation algorithms (Programming) 4 Display and manipulate the virtual scene
APPLICATION Security 3D visualization and CAD Plant Information JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 APPLICATION Security 3D visualization and CAD Plant Information provision Real-time factory diagnostics Guided training and remote support Improved safety
WHY DO WE NEED IT Investor Unrest Low Power output in the country JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 WHY DO WE NEED IT HISTORY OF KIPEVU, OLD MACHINES, NEED TO STEP UP MAINTENANCE PROCESS Focus of this paper is on the use of this technology in power utilities Agenda 1 Improving returns of current plants (OPEX optimization) Agenda 7 is Improving organizational health and build required skills and capabilities. In line with draft ICT policy on integration of systems Investor Unrest Low Power output in the country Low Staff Morale Decreased plant efficiency and plant availability Lack/inadequate spares Lack/inadequate/ inappropriate tools Human error in machine operation and maintenance Poor quality of spare parts Acts of nature KEY Poor and Inadequate training Damaged/ misplaced/ not using manuals Slow undertaking of maintenance jobs CAUSES CORE PROBLEM EFFECTS
horizon II strategy - Initiatives BASIS OF OBJECTIVES: Improve returns of current plants (OPEX) 3 ICT draft policy 1 horizon II strategy - Initiatives integration of systems
OBJECTIVES 2 3 1 Reduce time taken to carry out maintenance activities by at least 1 hour for 8 hour jobs Attain actual life expectancy of spare parts as recommended by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Achieve and maintain plant availability of over 80%
HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES
Miwani App HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES Mobile application available on various platforms to provide working instructions to whoever needs them
CURRENT vis-à-vis AUGMENTED © Copyright PresentationGo.com – The free PowerPoint library Physical/ hard copy instructions Prone to errors Manuals prone to destruction Limited access at a time Instructions projected Digitally instructions Delay in searching information Multiple access Instructions readily available Digital info easier to access and manipulate

HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES Digitizing through scanning Do programming Deploy app Did observation, questionnaires and interviews to know about the problems faced and the potential of this tech INITIAL PROTOTYPE Unity+Vuforia developed with scripts in C# Marker based with virtual buttons for user interaction Easier to develop but not flexible to use
QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS FROM ENGINEERS JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES 16 responses 9 questions QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS FROM ENGINEERS How often are maintenance jobs delayed due to poor instructions and inadequate knowledge? How often do you need to refer to a maintenance manual when conducting maintenance activities? Do you think this technology will improve the maintenance process and if so by how much?
HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 HOW DO WE REACH OUR OBJECTIVES 9 questions 7 participants Every time I or anyone go to a machine to work on it, because they know the manual is too big, they do not check it and it takes time, but if there was something which could help get the information at the touch of a button, no one would not do it… Interviewed participant
OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS ANALYSIS OF THE OBJECTIVES JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 ANALYSIS OF THE OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS Through data collected, for most work done, > 30 mins is taken referring to manuals. We provide data on site reducing this occurrence Also from data collected there is evidence of equipment breakdown because of not referring to manuals Working fast and efficiently reduces downtime hence more availability, however so many other factors affect availability 2 3 1 Reduce time taken to carry out maintenance activities by at least 1 hour for 8 hour jobs Attain actual life expectancy of spare parts as recommended by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Achieve and maintain plant availability of over 80%
TOTAL ~$11000 EXPECTED COSTS Google Glass Enterprise Edition ~ 1500$ JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 EXPECTED COSTS Approx 10$ per person Approx 30cents $ per page 10,000 1 week training, venue, food & refreshment Testing traveling, setup and test Google Glass Enterprise Edition ~ 1500$ Annual Development License ~ 1500$ Programming costs – At least 4hrs/day 10 working days for 2 staff ~800$ Document digitizing ~ 2000$ Training cost ~ 1000$ Testing cost ~ 2000$ MISC TOTAL ~$11000
Reduce frequency of purchasing spares. JOH-KGN001-20071212-JvW-X1 EXPECTED BENEFITS Time taken to refer to a manual from the data collected 5 people do the machine works, Torque value, procedure, clearance values, tolerance 1500hrs – 1day 3000hrs – 2days 6000hs – 10days 12000hrs – 16days Cost saving of at least 1 hr. per person for 8hr maintenance job. ~7000$ Reduce frequency of purchasing spares. Improved plant availability, revenue for generation. Improved quality of workmanship and training tool Realtime diagnosis and equipment health analysis
