Virtual reality for industry: train your operators and sell your machinery
Virtual reality for industry, used two ways: to train operators in procedures, safety and equipment operation without stopping the plant, and to show machinery at full scale at trade shows and sales visits without shipping it.
Applications of virtual reality in industry
Operator training
Procedures and equipment operation practised in a simulator, without stopping the line or risking the machine.
Health and safety
Hazards, PPE and emergencies experienced in virtual reality, with no real danger.
Maintenance with augmented reality
Step-by-step instructions over the real machine, on the technician's tablet.
Machinery at trade shows and sales visits
Your machine at full scale on the stand or at the customer's office, without shipping it.
What virtual reality solves on the shop floor
Training on the real machine stops production
The simulator replicates the equipment: operators practise without stopping the line and reach the job knowing what to do.
A novice's mistakes are costly or dangerous
In virtual reality they make mistakes without consequences and repeat until they get it right.
Know-how leaves with experienced staff
A procedure captured in a simulator stays in the company and is taught the same way to everyone.
The machine does not fit on the stand
In virtual reality it fits in a backpack and the customer sees it at full scale, inside and running.
Case studies
First you see it. Then we build it.
- 01
On-site demo
We bring the headsets so you can try it first-hand.
- 02
Pilot or prototype
We validate the idea with real users before scaling.
- 03
Development
We build the experience to fit, with PC-grade visuals.
- 04
Rollout and maintenance
We set up the headsets, train your team and keep it running.
FAQ: virtual reality in industry
What is virtual reality used for in industry?
Mainly to train operators and technicians in procedures, health and safety and equipment operation, and to show machinery to customers at trade shows and sales visits. With augmented reality, also to guide maintenance tasks.
Does it fit an Industry 4.0 project?
Yes. Virtual and augmented reality are part of digitalising the plant: they reuse the 3D and CAD models you already have to train, maintain and sell.
Do we need the machine's drawings or CAD model?
They help a lot, but they are not essential: we also work from photos, technical documentation or photogrammetry.
Can the same model be used for training and sales?
Yes. The 3D model of the machine works for the training simulator for your operators or customers and for the sales demo at trade shows.
