How can we educate maritime engineers on emergency generators using AR?
One of the biggest companies in the maritime industry had concerns about the lack of safety training for their crew. All cargo and passenger carriers are equipped with emergency electrical power sources to use essential services under emergency conditions.
Educate and train maritime engineers on starting and running the emergency generator.
The ship engineers of the company were subject to the following issues: • A significant lack of knowledge deters safety and operations. • The educational and training skills currently expected from maritime engineers overshadow their ability to follow them strictly. • Time constraints hampered learning about each type of engine and generator. • Lack of complete engineering schematics and documentation. • Reduced workforce on board to take care of maritime operations. • High costs of training.
• Leveraging immersive technologies like Rwizen’s Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can tackle the challenges and educate the workforce on turning on the emergency generator using the three-step process. • Using AR and VR to simulate an entire engine room that impacts ship and maritime safety. • This AR/VR tool approach explained running the emergency generator process in a simple, easy-to-understand language. • Capital, resources, and time are saved by helping maritime engineers learn the processes using technology.
The simplification of maritime processes and education by using technological advancements directly impacted the company’s workforce and eliminated potential safety hazards.
