VRSafe – Virtual Reality environments for operators training towards safe and human centric workplaces

VRSafe aims to create safer workplaces by introducing a virtual industrial environment for training operators in safety related processes. By using virtual reality (VR), trainees become more equipped to handle hazardous situations effectively.
VRSafe provides two types of solutions:
1. Simulations of predefined standard predefined scenarios in a generic industrial environment. The project creates the digital twin of a generic industrial environment that simulates typical processes that can be found in most manufacturing companies. Focus will be safety; the user will be called to identify and eliminate hazardous situations and perform all required precautionary activities before performing the simulated process.
2. Customised scenarios on demand for industries that need a more tailored made environment with functionalities of their specific workplace. They have similar educational purposes as the generic scenarios, but they simulate the characteristics of the client company – workspaces, processes, employee skills – more effectively, and the hazardous situations recreated are also defined on the basis of the needs of the specific situation.
Assuming that a series of safety standards have already been employed for commissioning the real industrial applications, the same standards will be incorporated into the tools developed by VRSafe.
