Virtual reality in the industry
In the industry, everything revolves around efficiency, safety, and standards. But with staff shortages, high workload, and increasingly complex systems, good training is a challenge.
Virtual Reality (VR) offers a solution. No dusty manuals or expensive practice setups, but direct practice in a realistic, virtual environment. Quick, safe and scalable.
How does VR work in the industry?
VR enables employees to practice actions in a simulated environment that exactly resembles the workplace. Think of operating machines, performing maintenance, or training for BHV situations.
I want everyone to work in the same way.
We don't have time to manually induct every new employee.
Safety is crucial, but the practice is difficult to train.
Especially with complex or risky processes, VR provides peace and control. Everyone learns at their own pace, without depending on a colleague or available equipment.
Where does VR make a difference in the industry?
VR makes it possible to practice situations realistically and safely - without risk to people, machine, or production planning.
Safely training complex or risky processes with repeatable simulations
Standardisation of work instructions and procedures via uniform training
Accelerating the onboarding of new staff with interactive, visual guidance
Practising emergencies and evacuations without disturbing the practical environment
XR training offers a powerful and scalable solution to train staff faster, safer, and more consistently. Whether it's about onboarding, risky actions, or emergency procedures - with interactive simulations, you prepare your team optimally for practice.
What is the difference between VR, AR, and XR?
The terms are flying around, but this is how it is:
VR (Virtual Reality)
You fully step into a digital environment. Ideal for process and safety training.
AR (Augmented Reality)
Digital layers over the real world, for example as a manual during assembly or inspection.
XR (Extended Reality)
Umbrella term for all forms of enriched reality. We help you choose what suits your organisation.
Case: Bilfinger - Remote expertise with ATEX-certified smart glasses
Albert ElzingaManager of Digitalisation & Innovation at Bilfinger
Bilfinger, a large international service provider in the process industry, was looking for a solution to enable expertise remotely in potentially dangerous environments. UnboundXR provided ATEX-certified smart glasses including hardware, software, and extensive training. This allowed technicians on-site to be supported in real-time by experts, without physical presence.
We are very satisfied with Simon/Unbound XR. Their expertise, professional attitude, and proactive approach are really striking. [...] Simon, or actually the whole team, always goes the extra mile.
What does a VR training look like?
An employee puts on the glasses and immediately steps into a recognizable work situation: a machine hall, production line, or technical installation. There he or she carries out instructions, makes choices, and learns by doing.
The trainer watches live or evaluates the training afterwards. Results are measurable, repeatable, and easy to scale up to multiple locations or departments.
New people understand it much faster - and make fewer mistakes." - Production manager technical service
