Focusing on the inspection and maintenance phase, this case study takes us into a nuclear industry institute to explore how cutting-edge AI/AR technology can enhance the efficiency of pre-emptive verification, providing vital support for the safe operation of enterprise production.

 

 

Project Background

 

This case study's client is dedicated to comprehensive research in the field of nuclear industry technology, undertaking a number of key scientific research and production tasks.

As an important safeguard for the safe production of the nuclear industry, the pre-verification process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it has extremely high requirements for accuracy and reliability.

In order to further improve the efficiency and quality of verification, the institute has introduced the innovative AI/AR technology of ALVA Systems to achieve efficient verification of the maintenance and repair equipment operation process, providing a safeguard for subsequent safe production.

 

Solution

 

 

Given the particular nature of the industry, even the slightest negligence in the production process can lead to serious consequences.

Relying on the ALVA AI/AR solution, the institute has implemented real-time guidance through AR, while also using AI for real-time verification and prediction, which has shortened the overall verification cycle.

◆ Blending the Virtual and the Real for Precise Job Verification

To prevent collisions and damage to other equipment and the device itself during actual operations, it is necessary to precisely set the operational range, path, and joint activity thresholds of the maintenance equipment before it is put into use.

Leveraging AI and AR technology, a 1:1 digital twin model based on real operational scenarios is constructed to simulate the operation process of equipment in the maintenance environment, ensuring the rationality and safety of the maintenance workflow.

Based on the verification data results, fine-tune the path parameters such as the moving speed and turning radius of the physical maintenance equipment to optimize the workflow, achieving precise planning and real-time adjustment of the maintenance equipment's path.

◆ Virtual-Real Interaction, Lossless Verification
In harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong radiation, it is necessary to monitor the parameters and status of the maintenance equipment in real-time, and make real-time adjustments to ensure that the maintenance operations can be carried out safely and efficiently.

By facilitating interaction between physical devices and virtual twin models, ALVA's innovative solution achieves synchronization of data and operations between the physical and digital worlds. This not only allows for the prediction of potential faults and anomalies but also supports real-time presentation of warning prompts, thereby enabling efficient preventive maintenance.

◆ Collaborative Multi-Person Verification and Comprehensive Review

It is worth mentioning that this case also integrates a multi-person collaboration feature, allowing multiple reviewers to work together in the same virtual space. It supports centralized review of maintenance equipment, enabling verification and optimization of key operations such as collision testing and operational state analysis.

While enhancing the efficiency of review and verification, it also provides strong conditions for the continuous iteration of the production process.

 

 

Project Outcomes

 

 

The institute has greatly improved the pre-verification efficiency of the maintenance equipment operation process by introducing cutting-edge AI/AR technology.

Thanks to the innovative application of virtual-real interaction, researchers can both remotely control robots for real-time research and verification work, and use actual data to drive virtual models, achieving predictive maintenance, thereby extending the empowerment value from the verification phase to the production site.

 

Deeply involved in the military and defense sector, ALVA Systems has widely empowered various aspects such as digital design and development, digital manufacturing, digital testing, digital delivery, and digital support with its advanced AI/AR application experience.
