Abstract: A sensor arrangement for securing a monitored zone having at least one hazard zone with respect to a machine is provided, wherein the sensor arrangement has at least one optoelectronic monitoring sensor for detecting objects in the monitored zone and has a control and evaluation unit that is configured to compare the positions of detected objects with the hazard zone and to initiate a safety-relevant response of the machine in the case of a dangerous position. The control and evaluation unit is furthermore configured to generate and to monitor a further hazard zone with respect to a detected object.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an augmented reality system (AR system) for teaching a user of an application. The AR system comprises a detection unit that detects a real environment and provides it as environmental data, wherein at least one work unit is arranged in the environment; a communication unit that receives process data from the work unit; a control unit that processes the process data and environmental data, wherein a virtual image can be created based on the process data; and a display unit that displays the real environment and the virtual image in relation to one another to a user. The AR system further comprises an audio output unit that, on the basis of the process data, outputs audio signals for instructing a user, wherein the audio signals are preferably matched to the virtual image.

Abstract: A system and a method using a system for planning a use includes at least one marking, a control and evaluation unit, a database, a display unit, at least one time of flight sensor for a spatial scanning of a real environment, and at least one camera for imaging the real environment. The real environment in a spatial model can be displayed as a virtual environment on the display unit. The marking in the real environment is arranged at a position and has an orientation. The position and the orientation of the marking can be detected at least by the time of flight sensor and the position and orientation of the marking are linked by a virtual sensor model. The virtual sensor model in the spatial model of the virtual environment can be displayed on the display unit at the position and having the orientation of the marking.
