VR simulator for the training of maintenance personnel of industrial power supply systems.
The customer is a private German company for the installation and maintenance of industrial electrical equipment.
It was necessary to develop a VR training simulator for maintenance staff of industrial electrical equipment. The simulator should be designed as a training program with interactive help and the ability to simulate emergency breakdowns. The equipment set for the outage simulation included 30 highly detailed electrical panels and other equipment.
Unreal Engine has developed a VR simulation of industrial electrical equipment maintenance. The simulator has more than 30 highly detailed electrical panels. The simulator implements with C++ and Blueprint the ability to simulate a random breakdown that needs to be identified and repaired using virtual tools. The 3d models were developed in Blender and Autodesk Inventor. The developed simulator supports all modern VR helmets including HTC, Sony, HP, Lenovo and others.
Scrum was used to manage the development of the project using Agile methodology, which allowed to get a working prototype in the shortest possible time and gradually increase the functionality to the required for the customer.
The developed simulator allowed independent training and testing of specialists in safe conditions before direct training on real training stands and increased the variability of equipment and breakdowns, which in turn improved the quality of training and qualification of personnel in general.
