Here are the 5 benefits of our new Mixed Reality training platform for onboarding process operators

Companies increasingly need to be able to produce a wide variety of specific products. This often involves relatively small quantities at low costs. Here, process operators ensure the smooth running of automated processes. There is one problem that a growing number of companies are encountering. ‘Acquiring’ (changing) procedures and new instructions costs a lot of time and money. That can be done differently! Together with OVSoftware we will therefore develop a Mixed (MR) Reality training platform using the Microsoft Hololens.

The days of long onboarding processes are over

Production companies have to train new process operators on a regular basis. These are intensive processes that often take more than one year. Certainly, in all phases of this process there is often an (experienced) colleague who works with them. But this time investment is also at the expense of productivity and innovation. With our Mixed Reality training platform you will not only gain that time back, but you will actually earn time with it. On the basis of 5 advantages, we will explain exactly how this works.

Benefit 1: Learning process is faster

Using Mixed Reality, process operators learn faster. This is because they can walk right into the production process. Our platform thus halves the original onboarding time. This shortened learning process also allows process operators to get to work much faster.

Advantage 2: directly applicable

Investing in technical personnel and digitalization are the hot topics for many sectors at the moment. Thanks to our standardized and modular training methodology, we ensure that it is directly applicable to other processes and companies in the food industry. In short: due to the direct applicability, you will quickly earn back your investment.

Benefit 3: No experience required

Together with our partners, we will develop another internal training methodology. This focuses on the standardized, active and efficient on-the-job training of new employees. Even starters or employees without a technical background can be trained quickly to become fully-fledged process operators. More soon!

Benefit 4: Retention and continuity of technical personnel

The methodology must also facilitate the continued development of existing employees. By training the experience and knowledge of the individual employee in phases, we ensure that employees stay longer. The phasing has a motivating effect! The continuity of technical staff is also guaranteed. For each employee and job profile it is immediately clear what the current level is and where there are still opportunities.

Benefit 5: A more robust future-proofing

Research shows that with today’s rapid technological developments, the transfer of knowledge is declining exponentially. Currently, only 80% of the trainer’s knowledge is passed on. At the next transfer it is still 60% and after that only 40%. The scalability of MR visualization allows knowledge transfer to remain effective. Due to its flexible applicability in multiple processes, no unnecessary knowledge is lost.
