  • Patent number: 10878241
    Abstract: An augmented reality device includes a processing unit adapted to process data, and a display unit with a field of view, which is adapted to display a control, control components and first connections between the control components as an extended real image, The control receives sensor data from at least one sensor and transmits actuator signals to at least one actuator of an industrial plant. The processing unit processes from the data a model of the industrial plant with the control, the sensor, the actuator and second connections as plant components, and processes position data of the plant components into the model. The position data of the display unit can be transmitted to the processing unit as GPS data by means of satellites or local position data by means of local sensors, and the processing unit processes the position data of the display unit into the model.

  • Publication number: 20190299412
    Abstract: An augmented reality device for overlapping an augmented reality with a real environment is provided to enable a high degree of freedom of movement of a person in an operation. The device includes a detection unit which detects the real environment and provides it as environmental data. At least one monitoring unit and at least one working unit are arranged in the environment. A communication unit receives safety data from the monitoring unit and process data from the working unit. A control unit processes the environmental data, the safety data and the process data. A current working area of the monitoring unit and a current position (aP) of the working unit are creatable as a current mapping of the real environment on the basis of the environmental and safety data. A future working area of the monitoring unit and a future position (zP) of the working unit are creatable.

  • Patent number: 10107679
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic safety sensor comprising an electronic measuring device for generating measured signals which depend on a state of a safety zone observed by the safety sensor and an electronic evaluation unit for evaluating the measured signals. The electronic evaluation unit comprises a programmable logic controller integrated into the optoelectronic safety sensor for the logic evaluation of logic state variables which are derived from the measured signals.
