Aluminium Industry

Training Context & Objectives: AAA transitioned from traditional training – which relied on static 2D drawings and printed manuals – to an immersive XR workflow at its industrial facilities to better support aluminum fabricators and engineers. By deploying the Narrative Editor, RTXR Player, and Streaming Editor, the pilot addressed common challenges like the misinterpretation of complex cross-sections and the lack of remote on-site support. These tools allow for the creation of 3D instructional content, real-time visualisation of assembly sequences via XR glasses, and remote supervision by senior engineers. This initiative not only improved assembly accuracy and safety but also established a long-term capacity for AAA to independently update and manage digital training materials within their upskilling programs. 

XR Training Implementation: The implementation of the XR training was a joint effort between AAA and D3, following a structured three-stage evaluation that moved from instructor training to hands-on assembly. Using the Narrative Editor, AAA engineers digitised the M450 assembly process by importing 3D models, creating animations, and adding safety checkpoints, which allowed them to refine the instructional flow based on real manufacturing practices. This preparation phase ensured that the digital content was accurate and intuitive before being deployed to the trainees. 

During the practical experience, trainees used XR glasses equipped with the RTXR Player to follow 3D animations and multimedia guides, which significantly reduced the ambiguity typically found in 2D manuals. Simultaneously, instructors used the Streaming Editor to monitor real-time video feeds from the trainees’ headsets, providing immediate corrective guidance and documenting the process. The pilot concluded that the MOTIVATE XR toolchain effectively improves assembly accuracy and user confidence, confirming its potential for wide-scale industrial adoption and remote supervision.
