Abstract :
Mobile Maintenance is currently a major issue for the future of the Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) industry. This is one of the results of a CAFM trend survey in 2013, conducted by the German Facility Management Association (Hohmann 2014). Thus, access to FM-relevant information via mobile devices gains significance. However a seamless integration of mobile devices in FM processes lacks both a systematic and sustainable use of facility life cycle data as well as an intuitionally understandable presentation of these data. The conceptual paper focusses on approaches associated with the context-based provision of information and their presentation on mobile devices, by means of Augmented Reality (AR). The underlying research project FMstar develops concepts and technologies for semantic modeling and linking of distributed life cycle data of industrial properties and their flexible and context-based utilization via AR.
