Description
MBS (feasibility study): Use of XR (Mixed Reality) in plant engineering.
By walking through large plants together in virtual space in the early stages of the development process:
- shortened process time
- Reduction of planning errors and time-consuming coordination with international customers
- Reduction in the number of work steps (elimination of 2D data preparation and data conversions)
- Early clarifications already on the virtual model (fewer development or change loops)
- saving of natural resources due to less physical prototypes
- smaller ecological footprint due to less travel (time / costs)
expected.
