ZF: PRODUCTION LINE SIMULATOR

“We see virtual training as one of the important aspects for us to be successful in adopting the concepts and pillars of advanced manufacturing”, explains Christian Schulz, Senior Manager of Operations at ZF.

This virtual reality was a big project that I participate in LIGA Facens. I was responsible for all the steps and features of one of all the five lines of production. I worked in a team of four unity developers.

Virtual reality was made to replace the training of new employees, before, new employees need to train on real production lines, making the line slower.

We've perfectly replicated every step of the production line, and now new employees learn to work in a virtual environment, reducing learning time by 80% and training hazard by 100%.
