The 6th annual Industrial Immersive Week brought together industrial, energy & engineering immersive tech leaders, software developers and VR / AR / XR, Spatial Computing, 3D and Digital Twins solution providers to share first-hand experience, insight and advice for implementing and scaling immersive tech programs in enterprise operations.
In his presentation, “Bridging the Industrial Skilled Workforce Gap with XR & AI”, our President Nathan Pettyjohn addressed the fact that over 10,000 baby boomers will retire every single day for the next 15+ years, leading to a $600 billion economic output deficit by 2030 in a gap of over 7 million workers. This is just the manufacturing category alone. His presentation covers how XR technologies are helping to solve this across several different cases and offers up several industry statistics on how this is providing an ROI for enter.
In addition to Pettyjohn's insights, COO John Cunningham shared a compelling case study on GE Vernova implementation. Titled "Complex Safety Training for Nuclear in VR - Bridging Physical & Virtual Worlds," Cunningham's presentation showcased the innovative use of VR to enhance safety training in nuclear facilities. Through engaging videos and real-world examples, Cunningham illustrated how VR technology seamlessly integrates physical and virtual environments to deliver effective training experiences.
