The duration of the assembly activities is often a large part of the total activity time for the maintenance of the tool. The degree of performance of the employees in the execution of these disassembly and assembly activities is often low. In addition, allowances occur (e.g. searching for work equipment). At the Industrial Engineering Lab of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences, a prototype of an assistance system was developed to support the assembly activities in toolmaking. With the help of this system, the operator is guided step by step through the assembly process. The economic potential of the system exists in the reduction of training times, the avoidance of assembly errors and the increase of labor productivity. author: - first_name: Sven full_name: Hinrichsen, Sven id: '49010' last_name: Hinrichsen - first_name: Daniel full_name: Riediger, Daniel id: '52263' last_name: Riediger - first_name: Alexander full_name: Unrau, Alexander id: '64690' last_name: Unrau citation: ama: 'Hinrichsen S, Riediger D, Unrau A.
