Schneider Electric wanted to implement Virtual Reality (VR) into its training because it realised that in a hazardous environment, VR allows you to see what is hidden in real life and do safely actions that might be more risky in real life - “VR is enabling us to do and see things that we can’t in real life. The modules we’ve commissioned feature additional benefits that go beyond classroom training & hands-on training because, in the virtual world, our cabinets have current running through them. In our hands-on training, safety dictates there is no current. In the Virtalis environment, it is also possible to virtually strip back our equipment, so that in the Medium Voltage switchgear, trainees can see the working parts, which really helps them to understand our technology.”
