In today’s competitive landscape, the manufacturing industry has worked hard to increase its productivity and profitability. In fact, the manufacturing sector has undergone a digital transformation through the use of AR/VR/MR eLearning solutions to develop smart manufacturing production models.
Let’s explore how manufacturing industries are using AR/VR/MR eLearning solutions.
To manufacture, AR/VR/MR eLearning solutions cover everything employees need to learn to handle industrial work environments (e.g., artificial intelligence, robotics, AR/VR/MR hardware and software technologies)
How AR/VR eLearning solutions can help understand complex industrial components
With virtual and augmented reality eLearning solutions, digital production models can be examined and tested virtually through an eLearning course under various real-time conditions such as heat, heat transfer, pressure, temperature, stress, fluid dynamics, and many other engineering factors. Additional tools like FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) can be incorporated into the eLearning course to help students understand the structure and analysis of certain complex industrial components through 3D animation.
Thus, with virtual and augmented reality eLearning solutions, all possible operational scenarios can be evaluated and visualized through animated simulations, and the product’s lifespan and reuse over time can be better understood. The results obtained are of great value when considering factors such as ergonomics, appearance, and working conditions. Above all, virtual and augmented reality solutions can help anyone, even someone without technical knowledge, interpret 2D engineering diagrams and complex 3D models.
How the academic sector is keeping up with virtual and augmented reality solutions
A Goldman Sachs study clearly demonstrates the growing potential of AR and VR technologies. The market is estimated to grow to around $95 billion by 2025. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in the number of AR/VR development companies worldwide that are building academic and industry-based solutions utilizing AR/VR technology. Interestingly, there has been a strong push for the adoption of virtual and augmented reality eLearning solutions in schools and universities to promote cognitive learning.
For example, imagine a teacher explaining a concept and organizing a learning quest for children. Then, students explore and learn a new environment through virtual and augmented reality eLearning solutions. These solutions are pedagogical and finely tuned to meet their learning needs, allowing them to retain concepts in their memory, thus fostering cognitive learning. It’s not surprising that the AR/VR market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 76% in the coming years.
How Mixed Reality (MR) eLearning solutions can be used to optimize efficiency
Mixed Reality (MR) eLearning solutions leverage enhanced hardware and software capabilities to provide a better visual and sensory experience. MR solutions can be integrated with headsets that feature bone conduction technology, offering a wider field of view and specialized audio.
In addition, MR devices can be equipped with various types of sensors to capture the desired production aspects. For example, MR solutions specifically designed with the aforementioned features can be used for disaster management and emergency training or to train a workforce to be more vigilant by monitoring their surroundings.
How do AR/VR/MR eLearning companies improve industrial training in a highly efficient way?
To develop AR/VR/MR eLearning solutions for industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, food processing, industrial, automotive, and safety, it is important to find qualified AR/VR development companies. Based on an organization’s requirements, AR/VR/MR eLearning companies use detailed information to meet specialized training needs.
For example, a good Virtual and Augmented Reality company teaches finite element analysis (FEA) overlayed in AR-based environments alongside sensors. This helps efficiently operate an industrial component and optimize industrial production. Additionally, AR/VR/MR eLearning solutions from an eLearning company also help learners:
- Understand the integration of cameras and sensors with AR/VR/MR technologies
- Compare virtual images with the real working environment
- Use AR/VR/MR technologies to explore and assemble a specific component
- Inspect and automate different types of manufacturing operations
- Understand FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for complex manufacturing inspection processes, and grasp engine efficiency and its quality control
- Understand the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and robotics
- Maximize industrial productivity
- Reduce industrial operating costs with intelligent designs
