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.
