Enhanced Training of Machine Operations and Maintenance using VR/AR Technologies

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are proposed to improve existing training methods of machine operations and maintenance. It can reduce the need of the physical equipment to get hands on experience. Virtual models of machines are built to perform all the tasks as required in the real life such as troubleshoot different failures so that users can master the machine operation and maintenance without the risk and cost of the real machine. Training and maintenance simulations of different scenarios are developed to meet different industrial needs. Partner organization will benefit from improved worker skills, leading to safe and efficient operations.
