VR Solution for Material Handling

Client Requirements

ElectroMech was established in 1979 to provide reliable and durable well engineered material handling solutions to its customers. Over the past several decades, the team ElectroMech has been consistently delivering top notch products for the material handling industry not only in India but across several countries across the world.

Business closure required Electromech's international clients to visit the manufacturing unit in a remote location near Pune. This meant large investment on travel and hospitality every time. The need was to take the factory to their international clients in the most realistic manner.

Solution

The team provided a shoot-based virtual reality solution of the manufacturing unit, capturing important areas and processes to reduce investment on travel and hospitality every time.

The team created an immersive experience on the Samsung Gear VR, along with the mobile handset. Gear VR unit itself acts as the controller, which contains the field of view, as well as a custom inertial measurement unit (IMU), for rotational tracking, which connects to the smartphone via micro-USB.

They made virtual factory available for experience at different locations of the world.

Results

The solution resulted in an increase in the client’s profit as travel expenses were reduced by 70% and they don’t need to make large investments every time when the international clients visit.

Also, it resulted in time saving, increase in revenue and in faster decision making by up to 30%.
