XR2LabTrain: Get to know the #OC2

Proposal Acronym: XR2LabTrain

Proposal Title: Your Gateway from Virtual Labs to Real-World Impact

Proposal Summary:

XR2LabTrain is a project focused on developing an advanced XR-based training system to improve defect inspection processes in manufacturing. It combines AI-driven data pipelines, immersive XR learning modules, and personalized assistance systems to enhance worker skills and support lifelong learning.

Key Objectives:

  • Digitize and Automate Training: Capture real-world defects and work processes, translate them into digital process descriptions, and convert them into XR training modules using AI and XR-ProLearn technology.
  • Personalized Learning: Adapt XR training to each worker’s skill level and learning progress while allowing for UI customization of the assistance system.
  • Continuous Improvement: Workers use the ShowMe assistance system on the shop floor to identify and tag new defects, feeding real-time data back into the training system to keep it updated.

How It Works:

  • Data Collection & Digitization: Real-world processes and defects are digitized and converted into procedural training.
  • XR Training & Assistance: AI-powered descriptions are transformed into adaptive XR learning modules, allowing trainees to practice defect inspection in a safe, virtual environment.
  • Real-World Application: Workers use the XR-powered assistance system in real operations while contributing to ongoing system updates by identifying new defects.

Impact & Benefits:

  • Upskilling Workforce: Supports lifelong learning and helps low-skilled workers achieve higher qualifications, addressing Europe’s need for reskilling.
  • Improved Productivity: Reduces training downtime and enhances operational efficiency, contributing to the global competitiveness of manufacturing.
  • Scalability & Sustainability: The platform is designed to be adaptable across various industries, with a multi-step commercialization plan including real-world trials and a future business plan for long-term use.

By combining AI, XR technology, and continuous feedback loops, XR2LabTrain enhances workforce capabilities while fostering a more inclusive, adaptive, and future-ready manufacturing sector.
