Amatrol VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley
The Amatrol VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley (VR870-AB) creates a digital twin of Amatrol’s three-cart Mechatronics training system. Using a Meta Quest VR headset, learners will become familiar with the system’s operation and how to perform basic adjustments. These virtual exercises shorten the learning curve by preparing students to work on a physical training system. Multiple users and/or multiple headsets gives instructors the flexibility to create a unique virtual learning experience or tailor trainings to accommodate spatial or accessibility limitations.
Description
Amatrol VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley (VR870-AB)
Introducing Amatrol’s VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley (VR870-AB). The VR Smart Factory creates a digital twin of Amatrol’s three-cart Mechatronics training system that can be explored virtually via a Meta Quest VR Headset. Users can observe the operation of the system that assembles a working industrial directional control valve, including pneumatic pick and place feeding, go/no-go gauging/quality inspection (height and orientation verification), and automated inventory/parts storage.
Users can also interact with the virtual system, performing a variety of skills, such as:
- Adjusting air pressure regulators for cylinders and vacuum generators
- Adjusting the ultrasonic sensor that regulates height measurement
- Viewing system information on the HMI screen
- Adding parts to the gravity feeder
Several of these actions can also be performed via shortcuts using the left hand gaze controller of the VR headset.
The Benefits of Virtual Twin Training
Shorten the Learning Curve
Give your students the opportunity to explore basic adjustments before they start working on the physical Amatrol Mechatronics training system. They’ll have the freedom to experiment and make mistakes in the virtual environment, streamlining their learning time once they’re working with the actual trainer.
Flexibility
Instructors are able to expand the number of users learning at any particular time by allowing some users to work on the physical systems, while others use VR, which is a true replication of the real system.
Multiple users can share one headset, or multiple headsets and interact with the virtual system simultaneously. This gives instructors the flexibility to create a unique learning experience for their students.
Accessibility
The Amatrol VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley is a compact trainer that requires very little space compared to the full Amatrol Mechatronics line. Smaller labs can offer the same level of training that the larger, more equipped labs do.
Additionally, users with accessibility issues are able to observe and interact with the VR Smart Factory even when seated or in a small space.
Expanded Learning Experience
Broaden your educational range and prepare your students with hands-on skills relevant to modern industry by combining the Amatrol VR Smart Factory – Allen-Bradley with the real three-cart Mechatronics system and Amatrol’s eLearning curriculum. The resulting immersive learning experience benefits learners by providing experience with advanced technology and Industry 4.0 skills.
Required Hardware
Each VR Smart Factory license will require a Meta Quest 3 VR headset (purchased separately).
