Sector challenges

At the workplace:

These challenges are primarily related to unsafe working conditions in the fields of working at height, working with electrical power, excavation, material handling including equipment and tools, as well as different types of roadway construction.

How Immersive Factory’s solution helps overcome this challenge:

Immersive digital workshops that can be done repeatedly to allow faster and more efficient training to accelerate skills development and learning to prepare for potential risks at the workplace and effectively reduce accidents.

Among workforce:

These challenges are linked to lack of skills and competencies due to inadequate training.

How Immersive Factory’s solution helps overcome this challenge:

Over 30 immersive workshops with efficient training, based on effective immersive learning methods (e.g. gamification) thanks to their co-creation with key industry players that lead to skillful workers.

External environment:

These challenges are uncontrollable factors such as a lack of infrastructure, enforcement of (new) legal regulations, difficulties with the workplace’s geographical location, hostile climate (e.g. more snow due to climate change). Lastly, the hygienic aspect following the COVID-19 health crisis, which includes new health measures related to hygiene but also to education, prevention and employee safety in the face of the global health crisis. Ex: COVID referent in companies.

How Immersive Factory’s solution helps overcome this challenge:

The long-term vision is to create new exercises allowing training factoring in external challenges such as bad weather conditions.

Internal management

These challenges come from within the organization such as a lack of engagement/ownership from superiors during training, which will consequently lead to a lack of motivation from the employees. Further internal factors are the lack of mandatory training, which will lead to under trained employees and thus increases the risk of potential work accidents. Furthermore, cost driven companies, rigid timelines (particularly when several different companies are working collaboratively at the same workplace) and a lack of supervision and (mis)communication can lead to additional internal management obstacles.

How Immersive Factory’s solution helps overcome this challenge:

Des exercices gamifiés pour engager et motiver les travailleurs à tous les niveaux de direction. Possibilité de suivre les efforts et les réalisations de l’équipe pour encourager tous les employés à suivre les exercices de manière répétitive afin de maintenir un niveau élevé de compétences acquises. Les exercices sont effectués sur une plateforme numérique immersive qui permet une formation en totale autonomie et offre la possibilité de se connecter au HUB à tout moment et n’importe où, afin de réduire tous les coûts cachés qui accompagnent les journées officielles de formation à la sécurité effectuées dans un lieu spécifique.
