The AR and VR technologies combine the real world with digital realities to achieve higher efficiency, engagement, and creativity in all sectors. They will grow up to be quite powerful and influential in leading innovations related to the metaverse, smart cities, and the next generations of simulations for future industries.
What is AR and VR?
- Augmented Reality (AR): AR superimposes digital content which could be images, sounds or any other virtual enhancements to the real world by utilizing a device like smartphone, AR glasses or tablet. Combining both the virtual and the real together is used to amplify the experiences of the real world.
- Virtual Reality: Virtual reality is the completely immersive condition of a human being in a totally virtual and simulated environment by using devices, for example, VR headsets. All of the real world is completely replaced by a 3D digital space through which one can have interactive and immersed experiences.
Client Overview
A leading manufacturing company specializing in the assembly of industrial equipment has been facing a significant array of challenges, among others:
- High costs related to machinery downtime during training.
- Increasing errors due to lack of practical knowledge.
- Inefficient traditional training methods without engagement.
Challenges
Manufacturing businesses often face difficulties in:
- Training workers on complex machinery without disrupting production.
- Ensuring safety during on-the-job training.
- Manage costs of errors and operational delays.
In revolutionary AR/VR technology lies a new approach toward empowering employee training, maximizing knowledge retention, and reducing risk exposure.
Solution
To solve those issues mentioned above, it created an immersive AR/VR training platform to replicate realistic production settings. This gave:
- Interactive Simulations: Workers could, in a virtual environment, prepare for assembly, maintenance and also safety procedures.
- Hands on Training: Employees use the AR/VR devices as hands-on tools for training; this does not interfere with production.
- Mistake-Less Learning: In a mistake-free virtual space, workers learn through making mistakes.
- Instant feedback: AI-powered integrated assessments provided instant feedback as suggestions for improvement.
Key Features
AR/VR technology- A game-changer for manufacturing-
- Reduces time, costs, and risks of training.
- Enhances employee engagement and retention.
- Future-proofs businesses with cutting-edge workforce development.
Results Achieved
Transformation in training results through the AR/VR platform:
- Reduced training time by 50%.
- Improved employee learning retention by 40%.
- No downtime: Training was performed without interrupting production.
- Enhanced Safety: Workers practiced safety measures risk-free.
- Cost Saving: Minimized machinery maintenance because the workers were better trained.
Workers equipped with AR/VR training boasted more confidence, were more productive, and less error-prone operation.
