Leveraging Augmented Reality to Support Context-Aware Tasks in Alignment with Business Processes

The seamless inclusion of Augmented Reality (AR) with Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) for Smart Factory and Industry 4.0 processes remains a challenge. Towards this end, this paper contributes an approach integrating context-aware AR into intelligent business processes to support and guide manufacturing personnel tasks and enable live task assignment optimization and support task execution quality. Our realization extends two BPMSs (Camunda and AristaFlow) and various AR devices. Various AR capabilities are demonstrated via a simulated industrial case study
