Context

Engineers needed a faster, more intuitive way to communicate with and monitor SIEMENS motor management and controlling devices on the shop floor.

Inputs

  • SIMOCODE device communication protocols (PROFINET)
  • Device status and diagnostic parameters

Approach

  • Developed an augmented-reality mobile application to communicate with SIEMENS motor management and controlling devices
  • Built the underlying communication library for SIMOCODE devices based on PROFINET communication

Outcomes

  • Working AR prototype for live device control and monitoring
  • Demoed to delegates and partners at an internal Siemens hackathon
