LNG Armaturen Set Development of a sensitive valve set for high-volume ship to ship LNG transfer The use of LNG (liquefied natural gas) propulsion systems in ships has major environmental advantages, as it reduces emissions in sea areas and ports. The advantages of this approach in terms of transportation and storage are offset by major handling challenges. There is a lack of sensitive fitting sets for high-volume ship-to-ship LNG transfer. The task of BIBA was to develop an augmented reality (AR) solution that can be used for maintenance and service purposes of these valves. Thus, a digital assistance system using AR technology for application to LNG valves was developed and evaluated. The development approach was based on the process for designing usable systems, according to DIN 9241-210. An evaluation was carried out by means of a combined quantitative and qualitative user study as well as an expert review, which led to very good results in terms of usability and workload. The AR solution developed on the basis of an Android smartphone enables users to access maintenance instructions and manuals, simplifies spare parts ordering, and supports the work process through context-sensitive step-bystep virtualization.
