Traditional training models don’t work.

Managing in-person training sessions across locations and schedules can be burdensome and ineffective. Furthermore, online meetings are not suited for all tasks and responsibilities. In this context, organizations must adopt novel strategies to transfer knowledge to their workforce. 3D and VR solutions break down the barriers between physical and digital, transforming the learning experience while creating tangible benefits.

Information overload.

Training programs can be overwhelming to learners, resulting in poor information retention. Ensuring the retention of knowledge and its on-the-job application is crucial. This is where XR technologies come in play, breaking down the learning process with visual instructional manuals. These digital training manuals provide step by step instructions to the workforce to perform tasks faster and with fewer errors.

Poor training interactivity.

Traditional one-sided presentations, training manuals and in-person inductions are ineffective for the modern workforce. Putting in place strategies to support the adoption of interactive 3D manuals is a key step in ensuring the digitization process of an organization’s learning and development. With step-by-step training manuals, employees can interact and learn in a new and engaging way, retaining more information than with traditional models.

Poor employee engagement.

Training programs are usually one-sided, leading to low engagement and poor retentions and on-the-job recall of knowledge. Organizations must develop engaging digital strategies when dealing with employee training, using technologies from 3D to mixed reality. Having the ability to learn with an interactive digital touchpoint creates the necessary employee engagement that leads to higher retention and lower on-the-job mistakes.

Poor employee motivation.

Employee motivation is one of the most common problem saffecting employee training and information retention. To address this issue, an organization must adopt a digital training strategy that involves the adoption of virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D technologies. Instructional training manuals that deliver both induction programs and on-the-job support, are the game changing 3D and AR applications for your employees.

On-the-job support is not the norm.

After the completion of the induction program, employees are often left alone in performing their tasks, with no additional training or support. Employees don’t have access to digital tools to recall information while on-the-job. To limit down-time, onerous mistakes and boost productivity, organizations must ensure the continuous on-the-job transfer of knowledge and remote support to benefit their operations and workforce.

Manufacturing rework.

Whether in manufacturing or in maintenance scenarios, rework remains a sizeable challenge for corporations. Correcting defective parts results in lost time, increased waste, and unforeseen costs. While enterprises can implement quick one-off fixes to address this challenge, a comprehensive training digitalization and remote assistance strategy remains the optimum medium to achieve strong performance benefits across the organization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Hybrid work is an emerging working model that allows employees to work from both the physical workplace and remotely, utilising digital tools. Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of this flexible working model with one study by Accenture finding that during the pandemic 58% of respondents had already been utilising hybrid work strategies. This novel working model is found to increase mental health and working relationship, while reducing job-related stress.

An interactive 3D training manual is a software tool that helps users access helpful technical information in a simple and effective way. It is based on the utilization of 3D models and 3D animations, visually illustrating, and demonstrating the features and properties of an object or procedure. It is particularly useful as a knowledge transfer tool for training processes, by conveying information via interactive animations. Interactive 3D training manuals address the employees’ ability to retain information of complex products by allowing them to interact with 3D animations.

A step-by-step 3D training manual is an effective digital tool used to replace bulky, burdensome paper manuals. It is significant for both induction programs and on-the-job training processes. It utilizes 3D models of products to break down step-by-step procedures and convey them with visual outputs, including 3D, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces. It is a powerful tool deployed by organizations to improve information retention, avoid expensive on-the-job mistakes, and increase their safety profile.

Employee training and development is a crucial step to expand the know-how of an organization, leading to strong operational benefits, including: superior employee performance, better employee satisfaction and morale, operations consistency, improved employee engagement, increased in productivity and adherence to quality standards and reduced employee turnover, ultimately leading to profit increase.

Manufacturing rework occurs when a product, component or part fails to meet the manufacturing quality standards. The manufacturing rework process involves additional labour, equipment and materials that result in increased operational costs and time.

Virtual reality (VR) is a 3D environment generated by a computer. Its objective is to immerse the user within a virtual world by replacing a computer screen interface and replacing it with a fully immersive and interactive virtual environment access via virtual reality headsets.

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that places digital objects in the real world via hardware interfaces such as tablets and smartphones. In recent years, this technology has gained widespread business applications across a variety of industries, including ecommerce, military, healthcare and more.

Mixed reality (MR) is a technology that blends the physical and the digital world to allow users to interact with digital objects in a natural way. Via powerful natural interactions, it replaces screen-based devices to interact with the real world and the digital one.

Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term that includes Virtual reality (VR), Augmented reality (AR) and Mixed reality (MR).

INTEGRATEDXR refers to the combination of Vection Technologies’ immersive solutions and services, that enable organizations to bridge the physical and virtual worlds. From virtual reality and augmented reality to mixed reality, Vection Technologies develops virtual applications that solve the challenges faced by businesses every day.

A virtual world is a digital environment generated via a computer. It is a virtual space where users can navigate, communicate, and interact with the virtual environment. It is accessed via traditional pc-based interfaces, tablets and smartphones or virtual reality wearable devices.
