Abstract:
igital transformation is propelling rapid changes in advance manufacturing,
necessitating a highly skilled workforce capable of operating increasingly complex
technologies. However, traditional training methods face limitations in providing
realistic and immersive learning environments, often resulting in productivity
losses, safety risks, and high costs. The background highlights the growing new
dimension of learning in manufacturing and the challenges from conventional
training approaches. The research aims to examine how Siemens AMTC leverages
VR technology for training and assess its effectiveness compared to traditional
methods. Field research was employed, involving observation, interviews, and
document analysis with qualitative approach at Siemens AMTC Singapore. The
study found that VR training offers significant advantages over traditional
approaches, including enhanced realism, reduced training time and production
losses, improved safety, lower costs, better scalability, and improved work quality.
Immersive virtual reality potential to be an effective new dimension of learning for
upskilling manufacturing workers, enabling continuous learning and accelerating
digital transformation in the industry.
