Digital solutions in the workplace

Manufacturing today cannot stay competitive without introducing digital solutions to it. This issue is particularly relevant in Russia. Various Automatic Process Control Systems were widely used in the Soviet Union and are now an essential element of any industrial plant. However, the lack of widespread modern digitalization systems in the country greatly reduces the efficiency of enterprises. On the other hand, it provides us with a unique chance to make a great leap forward and implement the latest solutions that have just become available in the leading industrial countries. Every new day demands new technologies, digital technologies, shape-shifters of modern industrial enterprises.

VR simulators

Digitalization probably has the most noticeable impact on various training and technological process simulators for employees. Visualization quality of virtual reality headsets has dramatically increased. Moreover, there’s been a significant progress in software of real-time visualization systems. All together it allows to recreate a very realistic working environment experience and related technological processes for employees (especially for the new ones). This way, virtual reality offers a safe environment as a trainee can go through a training with hazardous materials, emergency or dangerous situations without being in real danger. Moreover, this technology dramatically reduces the time (and therefore the cost) of personnel training within modernization of production lines.

AR and remote assistant solutions

Augmented reality technologies also find their way in manufacturing, primarily as "remote assistant" systems. Remote assistant helps workers perform their jobs better with AR by providing the knowledge needed to perform complex tasks. This is a great way to have specialized expertise on-site anytime, anywhere. Whenever a new or complex problem arises, such as equipment failure, for example, field service technicians can now put an augmented reality headset on and connect with an expert. Real-time 3D animations, work instructions, and annotations are demonstrated in the field-of-view of a worker, overlaid on their exact location on the equipment. Thus, an employee easily gets a faster diagnose and solution reducing repair downtime as well as saving time and money.

Factories digital twins

There is an ever-increasing need to make a variety of accurate and balanced on-the-spot decisions by middle and senior management of large enterprises that entails an increasing demand for the creation of digital twins and interactive models of production workshops and entire plants.

In most cases, a digital twin is a 3D model of an enterprise with overlaid infographic elements displayed both in real time and retrospectively. You can demonstrate any data: from the pressure and temperature indicators in a particular distillation tower to the number of employees, who are currently on leave. Additionally, on the basis of the received data, analytical and statistical systems predict the probabilities of equipment failure, for example.
