The term virtual maintenance simulation belongs to the categories Industry and Factory 4.0, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence. In modern production facilities or plants, machines and systems are regularly maintained in order to avoid breakdowns. With a virtual maintenance simulation, employees can practise such maintenance work realistically in a 3D simulation on the computer or with VR glasses without having to touch the real machine.
What makes it special: The virtual maintenance simulation feels almost like being in the real world. This allows technicians to learn, for example, how a machine is dismantled, which tools are required and how faults are rectified - without any risk. This saves time, material and reduces costs because mistakes can be made during training, not during live operation.
An illustrative example: Before a new technician gets to work on an expensive production line, he trains with a virtual maintenance simulation. He sees how the maintenance is carried out, recognises potential hazards and can practise safely until he really knows his way around. In this way, virtual maintenance simulation ensures greater safety, less downtime and keeps companies one step ahead of the competition.
