(1) Background: A current trend observed in the logistics sector is the use of Industry 4.0 tools to improve and enhance the efficiency of cargo handling processes. One of the popular solutions is an augmented reality system that supports operators in everyday tasks. The article aims to present design assumptions for implementing an augmented reality system to support air cargo handling at the warehouse. (2) Methods: Research was carried out based on a five-stage analytical procedure, aiming to analyze the current state and identify the potential for implementing the AR system. The following methods were used to collect data: co-participant observations, process analysis, direct interviews, analysis of internal documentation, and applicable legal regulations. (3) Results: The conducted research allowed for identifying information flows accompanying cargo flows and developing a project to automate selected information flows. The obtained results made it possible to identify operations for which the AR system’s implementation will increase their effectiveness and efficiency. (4) Conclusions: The obtained results identified the need to develop a hybrid algorithm for arranging cargo in the warehouse and to build a system supporting self-verification of markings on air cargo.

There are several trends of development of modern reliability theory; some of them are subjects of everyday engineering activity, like: quality control of mass production or “pure” reliability. But most of these issues, such as: effectiveness, survivability, safety, security, are currently the subject of many works of conceptual, modeling, case study or survey nature. The aim of this article is show how the performance requirements of technical objects were supplemented with: customer expectations (quality), abilities to prevent the loss of the object properties in operation time (reliability and maintainability), the effects of undesirable events and protection against them (safety and security) and the ability to restore performance (resilience). Można wyróżnić główne kierunki rozwoju współczesnej teorii niezawodności; niektóre z nich są przedmiotem codziennych działań inżynierskich, jak np.: kontrola jakości w produkcji masowej czy „czysta” analiza niezawodności. Ale większość tych wyzwań, takich jak: efektywność, odporność czy bezpieczeństwo są obecnie przedmiotem wielu prac koncepcyjnych, modelowania i badań. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie jak wymagania w stosunku do osiągów obiektu technicznego były poszerzane o: oczekiwania klienta (jakość), zdolność do zapobiegania utracie właściwości przez obiekt podczas eksploatacji (nieuszkadzalność i obsługiwalność), skutki niepożądanych zdarzeń i ochrona przed nimi (bezpieczeństwo) oraz zdolność do odtworzenia osiągów (odporność na zagrożenia).
