The Design of Workplaces with Augmented Reality in Engineering Education

The article deals with the possibility of using augmented reality on the principle of marker target for student education. The whole proposed concept consists of the principle of displaying 3D models of machines, equipment, robots, conveyors, and accessories above the markers depicting an actual device. The first part of the article was focused on the 3D model software tools and was presented a step-by-step procedure for creating an AR application. We will describe a specific strategy for building a 3D model, creating a marker in the Vuforia engine interface. Subsequently, the procedure for working in the Unity development interface up to the final export of the final application was presented. The second part of the article was focused on the developed application and the possibilities of its deployment in the educational process. The initial tests were used by university students on the subject “Digitalisation of Production and Services”. The gained results show the innovativeness of the proposed solution. In this article, an AR application was implemented in the educational process as a new distance education tool during the COVID-19 pandemic. This new way of presenting 3D models using AR falls under the concept of Industry 4.0, which is becoming a necessity today and brings many benefits in education and practice. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Implementation of Biological Samples Monitoring Used UHF RFID Technology: A Concept

The focus of the presented manuscript is on the design of the concept of UHF RFID technology aimed at tracking biological samples. The purpose of the article is to point out the possibility of changing the current state when barcodes are pasted to biological samples. They are then accompanied by a paper request for tests and thus sent together to the laboratory. The article is intended to serve as a proposed concept using digitization and high-frequency radio-frequency identification. The first part of the manuscript points to the already established eHealth system and the still unresolved issue of eLab (electronic laboratory examination). This is following by an analysis of the individual elements of the concept divided into three areas and the RFID system, software, and biological samples. The second chapter is focusing on the gradual design of components needed for the implementation of the plan. It described the individual steps from the design of specific hardware through the progressive design of the software structure. Based on the given proposal, several conclusions were drawn, which we can assume, but their confirmation is only at the theoretical level. The presented concept is legislatively demanding, as with the GDPR, it is a matter of working with personal data on human health. As the main benefit, we can assume the design of a comprehensive concept using contactless technology with mass reading at a distance of several meters, which is a benefit for the current epidemiological period.
