Post COVID-19 – Work Scenario for Manufacturing

• Work from home

– How do we review product design from home with Customers?

– CAD license accessibility over low band-width

• Travel restrictions

– How do we showcase product/project to customers/prospects?

– How do we showcase plant/ manufacturing facility?

– How do we handle service requests, inspections?

– How do we manage expectations without face-to-face meetings?

• Social distancing

– How do we train field engineers – while they are at home?

– How do we manufacture with less persons on the shop floor?



New work environment – Top priorities

• Digital business environment

– How to interact with suppliers, customers and dispersed teams

effectively?

– How to effectively utilize digital channels for marketing and customer

interface?

• Virtual work place

– How to make meetings with teams effective and more interactive,

especially with engineering content?

• Resilient work force

– How to train workforce virtually to possibly handle multiple operations



VR – A Necessary Tool for Virtual Workplace

• Virtual work place

– VR collaboration with internal teams for design review

– VR training provides

• focused environment – helps impart meaningful training

• experiential training – thereby greater chance of a learner retaining the

instructions

• close to actual product features – use of actual product data

• Digital Channels for Marketing

– Immersive experience of products / projects using Virtual Reality – get feel of

the product

– VR collaboration helps to interact with customer – two way communication

– VR experience helps in capturing Voice of Customer Social connectivity

Key benefits of VR

• Sales/ Marketing

– Cost effective and better way of capturing customer requirements – Voice of Customer

– WOW customer experience

– Better understanding of the product by dealers

– Cost saving – no need to send actual product models to dealers

– Cost effective and meaningful representation of products/ projects at seminars/ trade fairs

• R&D, Engineering

– Early detection of flaws – due to review with actual models to scale

– Significant cost saving - reduced need of prototypes

– Early detection of interference issues, maintainability aspects

– Reduced product development cycle time – less rework



Key benefits of VR

• Human Resource

– Meaningful training of employees, partners

– Higher chance of knowledge retention by participants – due to interactive and experiential learning

– Training on actual project/ product models – true representation of features / environment

– Cost saving - reduced cost of travelling

– Less number of training centrers – reduced overhead cost

• Supplier Management

– Relevant technical representation of product to supplier

– Cost saving – due to less chance of errors and rework

– Security as product data is not transferred to the supplier

– Cost saving - reduced cost of travelling



Key benefits of VR

• Manufacturing

– Training of operators with repetitive practice helps in less defects

– Training on virtual machines – no idle time of production machines

– Helps in virtual facility planning for changes in assembly line

– Operator training for decking operations on assembly line – VR training helps in ergonomics

• Service and Maintenance

– Remote knowledge transfer of field engineers with solution

– Training of field engineers with true representation of environment – reduces rework and wastage

– Visual and interactive representation of assembly instruction helps installation engineer in their tasks



Key benefits of VR

• Project Services

– VR in plant refurbishments – superimposing new equipment virtually over

scan of existing facility – early detect foulage, interference, space availability etc.

– Easier and effective way of sharing technical project experience

– Cost saving – reduced travel for inspection and site planning

• General Management

– Reduced travel in most of the operations

– Higher training outcome - better retention of knowledge, more involved training

– Security of product data – less sharing of data with suppliers or partners



Typical Challenges experienced by VR users

• Difficulty in viewing industrial 3D complex data

• Technical accuracy of product model is lost

• Cost effective way to scale VR across an enterprise

• Integrate VR into regular work flow/business processes

• Easy of use and access – is it intuitive to use?

• ROI – investment and operational cost



Challenge of working remotely for industrial tasks

Data is complex (3D)Inefficient for 3D industrial tasks

Expert applicationsNot easy for everyone

How can we make VR collaboration as easy as using web conferencing for all?

Dissecting the Challenge

▪ 3D data pipeline – from import to render in VR

▪ Realtime, multi-user, collaboration for industrial tasks

▪ Sufficient functions/features to be useful

▪ Ease of access – installation, license model

▪ IT footprint – bandwidth, hardware requirements

▪ Security of data and meeting space

▪ Business process integration – open architecture

Ease of adoption = Greater Business Value



Concurrent Collaboration in a 3D space

Presenter

- Full control of model and participants

- Can pass presenter role to any participant

- Follow presenter or free explore of model

Participants

- Can be from anywhere with access to meeting

- Can create annotations, draw, and interrogate model

Post Processing of Design Review

- Save all edits

- Playback recorded session

- Export annotations
