ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Augmented Reality is always said to have enormous potential in connection with industrial maintenance. Nevertheless, the development in this area has only progressed slowly or even stagnated in recent years. The reasons for this are the complex development of contents. Augmented reality applications are often designed for one purpose and can thus only be used for a certain number of tasks. Modern approaches use object recognition and real-time data to create these applications for different application scenarios automatically. The problem is that the prerequisites for implementing such solutions are not given to existing systems. Simple solutions that can be implemented quickly are not available. This work, therefore, deals with the problem of what a cost-effective approach to creating augmented reality content looks like and what prerequisites precede this. Based on the design research process, a prototype system was designed that offers companies an easy way to create augmented reality solutions. The requirements for this system can be fulfilled in a short time and without the help of experts. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify approaches for automatically created, and context-aware Augmented Reality in the literature. The prototype was developed using an iterative waterfall model in Python and Unity 3D. The implementation and validation of the system were carried out at Werk150 in Reutlingen. Interviews were conducted with industry experts to evaluate the system. Conducting a systematic literature review on industrial maintenance underlines the research gap. This work has shown a need for simple, automatic, and context-aware augmented reality solutions in practice. The thesis presents a first implementation idea on how existing information can be processed to be used for such an application. Furthermore, it is shown that an AR application with the prepared information works in practical use and that such an application has added value for manufacturing companies. AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: Daar word gese dat toegevoegde werklikheid enorme potensiaal het binne industriele instandhouding. Nietemin het die ontwikkeling in hierdie veld die afgelope jare stadig gevorder of selfs gestagneer. Die redes hiervoor is die komplekse ontwikkeling. Toegevoegde werklikheidstoepassings word dikwels vir een doel ontwerp en kan dus slegs vir 'n sekere aantal take gebruik word. Moderne benaderings gebruik objekherkenning en intydse data om hierdie toepassings outomaties vir verskillende toepassingscenario's te skep. Die probleem is dat die voorvereistes vir die implementering van sulke oplossings nie aan bestaande stelsels gegee word nie. Eenvoudige oplossings wat vinnig gei:mplementeer kan word, is nie beskikbaar nie. Hierdie werk handel dus oor die probleem van hoe 'n koste-effektiewe benadering tot die skep van toegevoegde werklikheidsinhoud lyk en watter voorvereistes dit voorafgaan. Gebaseer op die ontwerpnavorsingsproses, is 'n stelsel prototipe ontwerp wat maatskappye 'n maklike manier bied om oplossings vir toegevoegde werklikheid te skep. Die vereistes vir hierdie stelsel kan in 'n kart tyd en sander die hulp van kundiges vervul word. 'n Sistematiese literatuuroorsig is uitgevoer om benaderings vir outomaties geskepte, en konteksbewuste toegevoedgde werklikheid in die literatuur te identifiseer. Die prototipe is ontwikkel met behulp van 'n iteratiewe watervalmodel in die Python en Unity SD sagteware. Die implementering en validering van die stelsel is by Werk150 in Reutlingen uitgevoer. Onderhoude is met vakkundiges gevoer om die stelsel te evalueer. Die uitvoer van 'n sistematiese literatuuroorsig oor industriele instandhouding beklemtoon die navorsingsgaping. Hierdie werk het 'n behoefte getoon aan eenvoudige, outomatiese en konteksbewuste oplossings vir toegevoegde realiteit in die praktyk. Die tesis bied 'n eerste implementeringsidee aan oor hoe bestaande inligting verwerk kan word om vir so 'n toepassing gebruik te word. Verder word aangetoon dat 'n toegevoegde werklikheidstoepassing met die voorbereide inligting in praktiese gebruik werk en dat so 'n toepassing waarde vir vervaardigingsmaatskappye het.
