How the Manufacturing Industry will get impacted by Metaverse

The world of technology is giving birth to numerous technologies day by day which are revolutionizing various industries. Here, the newborn technology Metaverse is completely transforming the traditional business models. Metaverse, the virtual world has a lot of opportunities for various industries. The usage of Metaverse is well known by video games in real-time.

Not only in the gaming industry but also the Metaverse has more practical applications, especially in the Manufacturing industry. Manufacturing industries are using this technology to speed up the design process, train employees, streamline the entire process and avoid accidents. Manufacturing industries can get accurate 3D representations of every product or service by deploying digital twins in the manufacturing process. With Metaverse, the complete performance of a product can be checked in real-time and even predict how it performs in the future during the design process itself.

Metaverse provides simulations to test the functionality of a product or service in various scenarios and build a better strategy. It also helps in optimizing the manufacturing process and automating it. This will help in improving product development and testing and will reduce cost and waste.

Impact of Metaverse on Manufacturing

1. Training of Employees

The manufacturing industry has started using virtual headsets to train their employees on how to operate and maintain a machine rather than using them physically which may be dangerous to use during the training process. It can also help employees in setting up the work environment and configuring devices.

Training in a real plane is very difficult and expensive so the JetBlue company has deployed VR solutions in partnership with Strivr for training their technicians through simulations. This training program assists the technicians to simulate contacting a plane in real-time without the loss of time, cost, and risk associated with the physical environment.  This Metaverse learning theory improves the training experience of the employees, especially in the manufacturing sector.

2. Developing Products from Virtual Designs

The combination of the physical and virtual worlds creates new resources. New ideas are emerging in which physical objects can be designed originating from the virtual environment. Heroforge allows its players to digitally create miniature models and offers numerous templates for designing the avatar’s face, clothes, and weapons. The company then delivers the product to the customers once the design has been purchased. The users can also purchase the design file and 3D print the object on their own.

3. Enhanced Production Process

Manufacturers can test thousands of production scenarios with Metaverse simulations and forecast the effects of scaling up or down. These simulations can be used by manufacturers to design automated and efficient machines. The technicians are assisted with the AR and VR.

BMW service centers use AR glasses to complete difficult repairs and look after maintenance problems. The technicians can connect with engineers and other technicians to work on the issue cooperatively. They also have a virtual factory that replicates the real production for the electric vehicle users before creating a real factory.

4. Repairing of Machines

Field workers dealing with machine repairs get help on equipment maintenance and repair support by using the Metaverse technology. This picked up steam during the pandemic when remote support was the only option for repair because the technicians cannot go to the manufacturing unit.

The usage of this technology can also help workers’ attitudes in the field without making them feel that their employer is watching or monitoring them. AR technology is already present in the devices like smartphones and tablets, so remote support does not require any specialized devices like AR glasses or VR headsets.

Conclusion

The manufacturing industry can accelerate and enhance product design, boost sales revenue through immersive training, and enhance factory and warehouse operations with these technology. Many companies are investing in this future technology for increasing their growth and development. Metaverse can completely change how a product is been manufactured and sold in the market.
