The oil&gas enterprises have their own safety concerns list. Poor maintenance of equipment is one of the top safety concerns for many enterprises. There are a lot of methods of increasing of safety, but its shouldn’t be used alone. A complex approach and addition the modern technologies in safety ensuring make possible not only increase the quality but increase the efficiently of production. There are a lot of kinds of quality improving of maintenance of electromechanical equipment, one of them are the augmented reality system. This is a new technology and there are no methods and effective estimation for developing and using this technology in industrial production. Developing the special unified modules of augmented reality for maintenance of electromechanical equipment is the actual task. The aim of this research-to identify possible uses, to estimate the effectiveness in ensuring the safety of production and to develop a way of integrating into typical process control systems of the augmented reality system for maintenance of electromechanical equipment.

The frequency of maintenance of electromechanical equipment depends on the plant, which uses and runs this equipment. Very often the maintenance frequency is poorly correlated with the actual state of the electromechanical equipment. Furthermore, traditional methods of diagnosis sometimes cannot work without stopping the process (for example, for equipment located in hard to reach places) and so the maintenance costs are increased. This problem can be solved using the indirect methods of diagnosing of the electromechanical equipment. The indirect methods often use the parameters in the real time and seldom use the parameters of traditional diagnostic methods for determination of the resource of electromechanical equipment. This article is dedicated to developing the structure of a special automated control system. This system must use the big flow of the information about the direct and indirect parameters of the equipment state from plants from different areas of industry and factories which produce the electromechanical equipment.

In this article actual topics concerned with mechanical properties of bulk materials, usage of computer vision and artificial neural networks in this research are discussed. The main principles of the system for analysis of bulk materials mechanical characteristics are described. Bulk material outflow behaviour with predefined parameters (particles shapes and radius, coefficients of friction, etc.) was modelled. The outflow was modelled from the calibrated conical funnel. Obtained dependencies between mechanical characteristics and pile geometrical properties are represented as diagrams and graphs.
