The introduction of digitalization technologies and methods into existing industrial processes can be seen in all industry sectors. The goal is to increase efficiency and productivity. In the aircraft industry, processes are still marked by paper-based documentation and a lack of digitalized data. This is especially the case in the planning of aircraft cabin maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). This causes regularly unexpected problems during MRO tasks and an extension of costly aircraft ground times. This paper describes a concept of increasing the planning reliability by implementing Augmented Reality (AR) into existing processes as a digitalization technology for the purpose of data acquisition. For this, the particular challenges of the addressed application need to be taken into account. The paper also describes a developed software tool. This tool is designed to make the acquired data accessible to planning engineers.
