The document discusses the challenges faced by engineering graduates due to a lack of practical, hands-on training and the high cost of lab equipment, which negatively impacts their employability and the industry. It highlights the growing market for virtual and remote laboratories, projected to reach $800 million by 2020, and presents Labicom's innovative solution that enables remote control of real equipment and virtual simulators for effective training. The document underscores the need for improved partnerships between educational institutions and industries to bridge the skills gap and optimize workforce training.

1. Industry Hands-on Training
Technology, based on
remote control of real
equipment via internet
and virtual simulators

2. Technical universities
problems
Engineering - among top 10
of the most demanded
professions in the world.
But graduating engineers lack
advanced skills.
It negatively impacts the
industry market.
Financials
Excessively high price of lab
equipment and maintenance (several
million dollars). Example of the Texas
Tech University: renovation of just the
Telecommunications and RF laboratory
amounts >$250k (all labs $6,5M)
Restriction access to labs
Equipment capacity,
dangerous equipment
Gap between university and industry
Irrelevant students’ KPIs,
“old-fashioned” instruments
$$$

3. Industry problems
 40% of graduates need retraining,
when hired
 Certificate of graduates or specialists
does not confirm their real skills
 Gap between industry and education
* Sources: Washington Monthly, May 2014;
2014 Training Industry Report, Training magazine;
- 30% of overall equipment failure by
entrants
- High costs of staff training (venue, time,
travel costs)
• Average bill for a top company on training is
$17,4M (no specific figure for tech courses)
leads to
USA 1,8M
8,6%
unemployment
rate
 Acute shortage of advanced skilled
engineers *
Russia 2M
Africa
2,5M
India
only 5%
of 1,5M
fit jobs

4. Addressable market

energy, communications, automotive,
manufacturing
Virtual and remote edu laboratories
 CAGR 37%
 $800M by 2020
 Remote (55%) and Virtual (45%)
 Major players: Labicom, Labster,
Macmillan Learning, McGraw-Hill
Education
Simulation-based learning market (incl.
corporate training)
 $6.6B in 2017 ($2.3B in 2012)
 Raised over $1.5B in VC - more than at any time
since the dotcom craze
 36,6% of large companies focus on online or
computer-based methods of training, 2014
Training industry Report
Global Training Industry
 $355.6B – global Spend 2015
 CAGR of Relevant Markets
- 11.1% - eLearning 2016-2020
- 8,8% - Corporate Training Market 2014-2019
 Enterprise users:
- Manufacturing (Aerospace, Machinery,
etc.)
- Communications
- Energy

5. Effective solution
Practice, close to real. User controls the
instruments remotely via internet in real-time (knobs
and touchscreen display of instruments)
Complete virtual copy of real equipment on a user’s
laptop (not connected to real instruments):
- real results of working with instruments
- available for thousands of users simultaneously
Virtual instruments/ simulators
for hands-on practice of
technical specialist
Remote control of real
equipment via the Internet
+
Highly qualified hard-skilled specialists
Step-by-Step-Learning tool
+
Embedded module, which automatically guides a
trainee through the experiment as to the script. Step-
by-step training on functionality of instruments.
Possibility to test hard skills.

6. • No plugins to be installed, no
ports opened. Only Internet/ local
network needed
• Secure modes and parameter
parts of experiments (system
constraints) – equipment care
• Available from a browser, any
computer, anywhere in the world
• Cross-platform
• Secure access to dangerous
equipment
advantages
• Proof check of candidates’ real
hard skills
Own R&D and Know-How in the field of data
formation and transmission
• Training and practice 24/7
• Upgrading shards skills from
basic to advanced

7. Demo of Labicom solution
Remote and virtual laboratory of the solid-state laser
setup

• Remote control of the real equipment via internet and virtual simulators
from the browser. User preforms actions as if with real equipment,
controlling the instruments by a mouse (computer control) or by fingers
(tablet).

8. Virtualization of real
equipment and devices -
development and
installment of
customized online
simulators for hands-on
training of technical
specialists
Focus – measurement instruments
Potential opportunity – core equipment
of an enterprise
We offer enterprises
