VIRTUAL TYRE PRODUCTION: LEARNING INDUSTRIAL PROCESS THROUGH AN INFORMED VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT
Jérôme Olive, Indira Mouttapa ThouveninAbstract
This paper presents an industrial application called "RVPI" for training operators in a tyre manufacturing plant. This training is performed through an Informed Virtual Environment integrating different aspects of human activity and expertise. To create the system, knowledge extraction and a co-design of the system have been realized in collaboration with the German tyre manufacturer Continental. The system is deployed in real plants in five different countries and is now becoming a regular training tool. Results show that production costs are reduced with RVPI due to a shorter training period and a better understanding of the process.
