For future innovations, complex Industry 4.0-technologies need to improve the interaction of humans and technology. Augmented Reality (AR) has a significant potential for this task by introducing more interactivity into modern technical assistance systems. However, AR systems are usually very expensive and thus unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, the machine's reliable data transfer to the AR applications and the user activity indication appear to be problematic. This work proposes a solution to these problems. A simple and scalable data transfer from industrial systems to Android applications has been developed.The suggested prototype demonstrates an AR application for troubleshooting and error correction in real-time, even on mobile or wearable devices, while working in a laboratory unit to simulate and solve various errors. The unit components (small garage doors) are equipped with sensors. The information about the state of the system is available in real-time at any given moment and is transmitted to a mobile or wearable device (tablet or smart glass) equipped with AR application. The operator is enabled to preview the required information in a graphical form (marks and cursors). Potential errors are shown and solved with an interactive manual. The system can be used for training purposes to achieve more efficient error correction and faster repairing.
