Qatar airport employees trained with a virtual reality platform developed by Stratesys

The company FMM, a joint venture between Ferrovial and Qatar Airways and a benchmark in first-class facilities management services in Qatar, has trusted Stratesys to create a training solution for its employees based on Virtual Reality, which offers a more complete and efficient training model, maintaining quality standards.

Facility Management workers will be able to train remotely through an avatar with which they will face various scenarios and procedures.
 

The supervisors will follow the training through smart glasses that will allow data to be collected to analyze the areas of improvement of the training.

In a sector such as Facility Management services where job turnover is high and the training of workers requires speed and efficiency, immersive training through a virtual reality platform can accelerate the on-boarding process. The technology developed by Stratesys, allows any employee, from anywhere in the world, to train remotely efficiently in digital twins that reproduce the real scenarios.

The CEO of FMM, Irene Vidal, promoter of this idea states: "This innovative solution has been developed for our client Hamad International Airport in Doha, and will allow distance training during the on-boarding period as well as the liberation of the use of critical areas, such as VIP lounges or external facades, avoiding interruptions in the daily operations of our client. On the other hand, it helps to monitor and evaluate the performance of our employees more efficiently."

 


More comprehensive training for employees and supervisors


The project innovates the training model through two paths. The first consists of a virtual reality platform in which during the on-boarding process future employees circulate through different scenarios, digital twins of the real ones, in which they face various simulated situations, such as applying chemicals safely or the use of specific machinery.

 

On the other hand, this platform allows supervisors to monitor training, through smart glasses, and provide real-time feedback to workers. This ensures that the knowledge acquired during the training period is well assimilated and, in parallel, collects an extensive amount of data whose subsequent analysis will help them to detect weaknesses and anticipate future problems.

 

Arturo Pérez, Director of Innovation at Stratesys comments: "This project highlights how the application of technology based on virtual reality combined with analytics raises traditional training models to the next level, in a practical way, accelerating learning processes and the assimilation of new knowledge and professional skills."
