The fifth-generation (5G) mobile/cellular and time-sensitive networking (TSN) technologies are widely recognized as the key to shaping smart manufacturing for Industry 4.0 and beyond. Converged operation of the two offers end-to-end real-time and deterministic connectivity over hybrid wired and wireless segments. On the other hand, the augmented reality (AR) technology provides various benefits for the manufacturing sector. To this end, this demonstration showcases AR-aided remote assistance use-case over a hybrid TSN and 5G system. The demonstration setup comprises off-the-shelf 5G and TSN devices, a near product-grade 5G system, and an AR solution based on smart glasses. The demonstration shows the viability of over-the air transmission of scheduled TSN traffic and real-time assistance for a local user from a remote environments. Performance results from the demonstration setup are also shown.
