4. AS-IS SCENARIO

5. AS-IS SCENARIO
The process of starting-up a chemical reactor in a chemical
industry is a very complex and rarely performed task. Since this
process is carried out once or twice a year the costs of having
people trained in such a sensitive process are high. It is also very
risky to rely on a single expert or a set of notes in a confusing
and complex document. Using a training program like V-TREV
would increase the employee’s safety in this process.
Training of the personnel is based on PowerPoint presentations.
Process, actions and expected results are documented as a
procedure of sequential actions/checks to be performed,
arranged by each system involved in the reactor start-up.
Currently, the trainee’s performance is not being assessed –
employees are expected to “learn” all the information from
reading these PowerPoint presentations, without any kind of test
or evaluation process.

6. TO-BE SCENARIO

7. TO-BE SCENARIO
Our solution proposes a new training system by means of Virtual
Reality. With this solution the personnel is trained in an interactive
and progressive way which can be assessed and analyzed.
V-TREV'S functionalities include:
Virtual training, simulating a real scenario. The interactions with the
different elements will feel familiar to the trainees, in order to make
them easier to retain important information.
Ability of simulating fault cases. These scenarios will put the
employees in situations that could be harmful in real life, preparing
them for them and making them more self-confident should these
situations occur.
Real time-data streaming. This data will be evaluated by an external
system asynchronously to the training process. This functionality is
strongly supported by MIDIH Reference Architecture components.

14. Business impact
V-TREV addresses a common challenge in on-site training of workers in
the industrial sector by easing the training in technical processes and
providing real-time evaluation of the trainee performance.
So far, 5 entities from very different sectors (chemistry, agri-food, logistics,
and fire extinguishing) have shown their commercial interest in the
application of V-TREV results in their training processes.
IZERTIS truly believes that this technology can make a big difference in the
training process, and thus will keep carrying out dissemination and
exploitation activities even after project completion.
As a result, it is expected that the revenues of the Digital Area, which is the
area involved in V-TREV development, will be increased by 2% in the next
three years.
