It is no secret that Industry 4.0 technologies are making revolutionary changes in the world of manufacturing. However, experts opine that the full potential of these technologies is yet to be realised by the defense and manufacturing sector. A recent PWC study says that VR training is four times faster and four times more focused than typical Class-Room Training. It’s also 3.75 times more emotionally connected with a 40% improvement in operator confidence. VR-Training transforms Defence Personnel into competent, confident resources inheriting decades of knowledge and experience in a short duration, saving years of training time. This critical sector is often under immense scrutiny from its stakeholders, along with the constant pressure of compressed timelines, compliance requirements, high manufacturing standards, and cost controls. With such crucial challenges, the Defence sector’s ability to expedite results and achieve critical KPIs consistently is of national importance. Adopting Industry 4.0 technologies can remove roadblocks on the journey to achieving manufacturing excellence in Defence industries. Immersive technologies like AR, VR, and MR, coupled with IoT, AI, Blockchain solutions, can infuse digital transformation in existing manufacturing systems. The industry can leverage such technologies in manufacturing autonomous systems, robotics, other intelligent solutions for land, sea, and air defence systems. When traditional manufacturing methods are being challenged and faced with intense competition from their smart counterparts, the relevance and viable applications of these latest technologies cannot be underutilized. Fusion VR, Chennai has a long history of providing Industry 4.0 technologies to defence organisations. Here are how these technologies are actively making a difference in the defence space – Training VR and AR have critical applications in the...

FusionVR has announced to strengthen its commitment to help the industry achieve excellence consistently and effectively through the disruptive Industry 4.0 technologies. Amongst the many industries, security and military functions demonstrate the impending need to integrate Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality /Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence solutions. The company aims to bring the Fourth Industrial Revolution to impart remote training and manage remote monitoring functions at diverse high-priority and sensitive industries. Fusion VR aims to devote its efforts to create a truly collaborative environment where simulations, systems, and models coupled with data analytics and AI adds value to the existing systems. Here are some Industry 4.0 technologies that can make proactive changes in the mission-critical industries: Simulation – Fusion VR’s immersive VR simulation can become a viable method to test new equipment, check designs, and make an overall assessment before making it production ready. A thorough and fool-proof evaluation can save a considerable amount of production costs and time. Furthermore, VR simulations can better educate, and train staff and resources deployed at critical projects and missions with safety and security. Augmented Reality – Augmented Reality solutions can empower military personnel with overlay display within his field of vision. The technology also improves communication by facilitating remote assistance, improving real-time analysis, and information display to reduce risks. AR is also being applied for maintenance purposes of sophisticated military purpose types of machinery. Big Data and Analytics – Information is critical in any business, but in defence, the stakes are higher. In an intelligent defence ecosystem, scores of raw data generated from multiple sources get churned for the decision-making process. The churned data get processed for the following purposes – ● Reducing human dependency and empowering AI in mission-critical functions ● Real-time monitoring ● Conducting descriptive and...
