Özet

This study presents an AR technology-based software that will work on mobile platforms and the pilot application of this software to solve the possible problems that may be experienced other than routine maintenance activities on protection/control panels and devices in SCADA centers. AR is essentially an information technology that provides the ability to present digital data and images in the same environment as our real world through its visualization, instruction/guidance, and interaction capabilities. Object recognition methods, necessary software, and infrastructure requirements are mentioned in this study in order to benefit from these advantages of AR technology correctly. Different scenarios have been created by using AR for possible failures in automation panels in a distribution center with a telemetry system. Finally, an exemplary scenario in the study is realized in a distribution center located in the SEDAŞ area of responsibility.
