Abstract
The article presents the results of research on the impact of virtual reality on the effectiveness of training employees performing production tasks. The research was carried out in the Smart Factory laboratory, which is a model of a smart factory functioning in accordance with the concept of Industry 4.0. A prototype VR system and its building process were presented, starting with the digitization of the laboratory, through logical programming and connecting peripheral devices. The subject, scope and plan of conducting comparative studies of operator training at both real production stations and in a virtual environment were presented. As a criterion for comparing the results achieved by individual groups subject to the study, the following were adopted: the time to complete the production task and the number of non-compliant products achieved in real conditions.
Highlights
The ongoing customization of products requires production systems to have an ability of quick response to customer needs
WORK The developed VR system has been prepared for training employees/operators of the production system, operating in accordance with the concept of Industry 4.0
In the idea of an intelligent factory, man will continue to play an important role in the production process, which is why so much depends on his preparation and training
Summary
The ongoing customization of products requires production systems to have an ability of quick response to customer needs. Effective product design and production control must be indispensable components of the intelligent factory of the future [1], [9] This requires innovative and intelligent solutions in terms of object (e.g. Internet of Things), and process (e.g. Knowledge Based Engineering) [8]. The basic element of an intelligent factory are cyber-physical systems, human still is an inseparable element [2] In such cases, intelligent production systems are increasingly enriched with techniques from the field of VR (Virtual Reality) or AR (Augmented Reality) [3]. Intelligent production systems are increasingly enriched with techniques from the field of VR (Virtual Reality) or AR (Augmented Reality) [3] These techniques will increasingly become a factor enabling flexibility in cyber-physical systems and ensuring their user-friendliness and ease of use [12], [22]
