Project Summary

itSilesia developed a VR training platform for a technology holding company, creating 3D machine models and animations to simulate maintenance activities. The vendor built a prototype and expanded it into a package of training scenarios and an interactive testing module. The platform is running smoothly, is actively used by the client's service team, and the client is highly satisfied with communication, timeliness, and ongoing development.

Key Challenges

Streamline the training process for production staff
Create a safe and realistic VR training environment
Present procedures as close to real life as possible
Make optimal use of specialists' time and knowledge
Reduce training costs and minimize downtime by avoiding removing machines from production

Project Deliverables

VR training platform
3D machine models
Animations reflecting maintenance activities
Multiple VR training scenarios (prototype and more than a dozen production scenarios)
Interactive testing module

Project Solution

itSilesia proposed and developed a VR-based training platform. They began with a test scenario for a single machine, developing a 3D model and animations of maintenance activities based on video footage, and iterated with the client through prototype testing. After the prototype proved useful, they expanded to a package of training courses across multiple machines, delivered more than a dozen scenarios, and developed an interactive testing module. Collaboration included consulting with the client on design and implementation choices and using GitLab and FTP for material exchange.

Project Outcome

Platform is running smoothly and is used by the client's service team
More scenarios and additional functionality are being added
Client placed an order for a dozen more simulations
Communication and timeliness were rated highly; solutions were delivered on time
