At the Komsomolsk Refinery, which is part of the Rosneft oil refinery complex, domestic VR simulators have been installed that will help train store personnel in the use of electrical equipment. This is reported on the company’s website.
Rosneft assumes that the use of such a development will help improve the quality of professional training of specialists.
“The developers drew in minute detail the two electrical installations that provide energy to the main production workshops of the plant. The virtual reality helmet allows you to instantly “move” from the classroom to any part of the installation to perform required actions using joysticks,” the message says.
It is noted that simulators make it possible to comprehensively implement in practice all actions of operational personnel in the workshop. In this case, there is no possibility of deviation from the technological mode of this equipment.
The company announced that training can be done individually or in pairs, or with the participation of a mentor. Additionally, the difficulty levels of the training program vary; They are selected individually for internship or further training.
Currently VR simulators are used in test mode. At the same time, the system has already demonstrated expanded capabilities for improving the qualifications of specialists. So far, only two models of the substation are available, but all electrical installations of the facility are planned to be added to virtual reality.
