Hitachi Ltd. is revolutionizing Japanese craftsmanship training using the metaverse, enabling remote skill transfer. Utilizing VR and advanced cameras, the Tokyo-based electronics company offers real-time instruction, especially vital as its experienced factory workers age, ensuring seamless skills transition to the next generation.
Hitachi said this modern version of teaching allows veteran workers to hand down their knowledge to newbies and future workers even when they are not physically present in the facility. The firm has resorted to virtual reality (VR) devices to train existing and new staff.
Through the metaverse, the electronics firm is helping skilled workers learn how to operate real equipment. The virtual world shows them demonstrations, and learners can also try the operations remotely since the equipment is the same as the real-world version.
Veteran staff can train workers remotely in real-time with VR and off-the-shelf cameras. According to Nikkei Asia, Hitachi set up its metaverse platform so that expert and long-serving employees may easily show new workers how to run the factory equipment.
Hitachi also took note of the fact that its skilled factory workers are already aging. Currently, the metaverse is the most efficient method to teach the younger and upcoming generation of employees who will take over at some point to run the factories.
The cutting-edge technology utilizes a camera installed in the ceiling and sensor data to re-produce Hitachi’s production facilities in VR. The instructors demonstrate skills and other tasks to workers, and the 3D data is processed. The metaverse was said to run without lag, so the training is not interrupted.
Finally, Rarity Sniper further mentioned that instructors on the Hitachi metaverse can view the actual worksite from their VR headsets so they can move around the place freely. This is a big upgrade to the traditional on-site training to teach workers new skills.
