SVH - Smart Visual Hybrid

XR training for
maintenance operators

An app for mixed reality headsets that recreates the machine and the steps of each procedure. To practise risky operations before doing them and to check them step by step during the repair.

Think of a maintenance workshop

  • How long does it take a new person to work alone?
  • Who teaches them, and what do they stop doing?
  • Facing a critical, rare and risky repair: how do they prepare? With the manual, a video or what they remember?

A critical repair nobody has practised

It is rare and risky. Someone looks for the manual, calls the senior technician and, meanwhile, production is stopped. All the pressure falls on whoever does the repair. And training for it is slow: it needs the senior technician and a free machine.

When their turn comes, they have done it before

Practise risky operations

On the simulated machine, without stopping it and without risking anything.

Reference tool

During the repair, the next step appears in front of them, without letting go of the tool.

Simple, modular and scalable

How it is deployed

Headset + our app

  • No cables
  • No internet
  • No computer
  • Data never leaves the plant

For each new case we start from 3D models, images and videos of the equipment. We build the steps and the simulation with the client's expert technician and test it in their workshop with their technicians.

Scalable to other plants and sectors.

Mixed reality: the virtual over the real

Extended reality (XR)

  1. Reality Everything is real
  2. Augmented reality The virtual over the real
  3. Augmented virtuality The real inside the virtual
  4. Virtual reality Everything is virtual

SVH works in mixed reality: operators see their real workshop and, on top of it, the simulated machine and the steps.

Other SVH modules

Prototype

Smart Recognition Assistant - ARI

Recognises parts and tools with the headset camera, to confirm the technician has the right one in front of them. Processed locally.

Immersive Space

Plant sensor data over the real environment.

Each deployment is adapted to the plant's equipment and procedures.

Frequently asked questions about SVH

What is SVH (Smart Visual Hybrid)?

An app by ForxaXR Lab for mixed reality headsets that recreates the machine and the steps of each procedure, so maintenance operators can practise risky operations and check them during the repair.

Why not a video or a manual?

With your hands busy inside a machine, the next step is right in front of you without letting go of the tool. And you practise on the simulated machine, without stopping it or risking anything.

How is a new procedure created?

We build it with the client's expert technician: we capture how they do it, build the steps and the simulation, and test it in their workshop.

How is it updated if the process changes?

Module by module, without rebuilding it. And technicians add photos, notes and videos to each step from the headset themselves.

Does it need internet or IT involvement?

Not to start with: it runs on the headset alone, without internet. The image never leaves the plant. Integration with other systems, if wanted, comes later.

Is it only for training?

No: it is for practising beforehand and for checking each step during the real repair.

Do operators accept it?

In the pilot, the workshop technicians used it without problems. You see the real environment, so there is hardly any motion sickness, and prescription glasses fit. Sessions are short.

Do you have a critical, infrequent repair?

Working pilot completed in a real workshop. We are looking for new plants to keep testing it.

We show you SVH working and look at whether your case fits.
