About

Eleni Orphanidou Vlachou is a leading researcher in the fields of augmented reality (AR), product-service systems (PSS), and digital manufacturing, with a focus on transforming industrial maintenance and service operations. Her most influential work, "Augmented Reality Application to Support Remote Maintenance as a Service in the Robotics Industry" (2017, 198 citations), addresses the critical challenge of high maintenance costs—often exceeding 30% of operating expenses—by integrating AR into remote service frameworks. This contribution demonstrates how modern manufacturing can shift from product-centric models to integrated product-service ecosystems, reducing downtime and operational costs. Her research has been pivotal in advancing Industry 4.0, offering practical solutions for robotics and smart factories. Beyond this flagship paper, her work on PSS and digital twins has garnered widespread recognition, influencing both academic discourse and industrial practice. With a strong citation record, Orphanidou Vlachou is recognized for bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, making her a key figure in the evolution of sustainable, service-oriented manufacturing.
