The challenge

Industries relying on heavy machinery are primed for a revolution in training. Traditional methods, although effective, have cost, logistics, safety, and scalability constraints. In collaboration with our client, we’ve crafted a transformative VR solution that dovetails with existing training programs to enhance their efficiency, safety, and accessibility.

How we helped

Our transformative project started with us meticulously crafting a high-definition, true-to-scale 3D model of an excavator.

This detailed model was then brought to life with interactivity applied in Unity. Through precision, every aspect of the virtual excavator mirrors its real-life counterpart, creating an authentic simulation that captures the experience of operating the machine.

Within the VR environment, trainees perform a safety inspection before operating. Once in the operator’s seat, they’re presented with a realistic view of the controls.

Reaching out, trainees can grasp and manipulate the joysticks, executing operations such as driving, turning, and controlling the boom and bucket, just as they would in real life.

Integrating real-world mechanics and physics into the VR platform delivers an immersive, practical, and engaging training experience.

Our breakthrough is this ingenious fusion of technology and practicality, which is driving the future of heavy machinery training.

Results

Our VR training tool is not just a revolution for heavy machinery training, it provides a safe and realistic environment for hands-on learning. It’s cost-effective, accessible, and ripe for industry-wide adoption.

Notably, it fosters safer training, minimizes accidents, and helps improve safety records. Our VR training tool marks a significant step towards a more efficient future in heavy machinery industries.

This case study is a testament to our commitment to product innovation and digital transformation in the heavy machinery industry.
