Before going to the virtual reality industrial training, let's have a look at current scenario of industrial training.

Training and development include improving the efficiency of workers inside organizations. Training has been utilized in industries for as long as quite a few years. Despite the fact that training requires investments of numerous kinds, there are several advantages to training and development.

  • Increased productivity and job performance
  • Development of skill-sets
  • Team development
  • Decreasing safety-related accidents

However, if the training and development are not strategic and pointed at specific goals, it can lead to more harm than good.

Industrial Training

But there are many disadvantages to the current method of training such as

  • Inability to provide individual attention
  • Time limitations
  • Lack of a universal step by step mechanism
  • Inability to identify flaws in training

So how can these problems be fixed?

By introducing XR simulators especially virtual reality (VR) simulator systems, these problems can be solved to a greater extend. Let's check out how.

Hands-on Training

By using XR simulation systems, hands-on training experience can be provided without any physical boundaries since the 3D model of any machinery or equipment in which training required can be simulated in virtual reality with the help of computer graphics. Trainees can interact and operate the machines as in real-life situations with the help of controllers provided with VR headsets.

Learn from Mistakes

If the training is done using physical machinery, trainees cannot experiment with it since the machines are costlier. But the XR simulation system provides a unique opportunity to learn in the trial and error method. It also helps trainees to learn from mistakes.

Work seamlessly across globe

Training can be done at the same place or in different places at the same time with these systems so that it even eliminates the geographical boundaries of trainees and they can get trained as a team.

Step by Step Modules

Step by step modules helps the trainee in self-learning and also it enforces the use of safety equipment and measures during work so that the safety-related accidents in the workplace can be reduced to a greater extent.

Get time-to-time analytic data

This is the non-replaceable feature of the XR system through which the attention span and attitude of the trainee to the various situations during training can be analyzed by tracking head movement and other parameters of trainee using AI algorithms. It also gives information on how accurate the trainee is doing the work and after how many attempts he gets to succeed.

Gamifying Experience

Overall the industrial training gets simplified just like a game with these XR systems. Gamifying the experience motivates the trainees to perform better

This is how XR simulation systems revolutionise industrial training.
