COMOS Walkinside is a powerful visualisation tool that uses data to simulate a 3D virtual environment of manufacturing plants . Employees can virtually walk through plants , gaining comprehensive insights into their efficiency , productivity and safety .
“ Users can perform virtual inspections , maintenance procedures and safety drills , all within a highly accurate digital replica of their facility ,” explains Bart .
“ In addition , the virtual environment can be utilised for emergency and HSErelated training . COMOS Walkinside helps improve operational efficiency by enabling better preparation and planning , reducing downtime and minimising the risk of human error .”
With the power of simulation , operators can even familiarise themselves with plants that have not yet been built and tap into the powerful benefits of VR training .
PwC ’ s study ‘ Seeing Is Believing ’ found that virtual learning is the most costeffective way of learning when done on a large scale . The v-learners completed training four times faster and were four times more focused than their e-learning peers . After training in VR , 40 % of the v-learners saw a 35 % improvement over e-learners when it came to acting on what they had learned .
