RealWear HMT Connected Plant Skills Insight Immersive Competency

RealWear Connected Plant Skills Insight Immersive Competency is the simulator on a basis added and virtual reality for training of production personnel and remedial action of professional training.

Flagship product of RealWear company is HMT-1, the protected wearable computer with OS Android executed in the form of a headband with the microdisplay which releases the employee's hands at accomplishment of dangerous works. HMT-1 is developed especially for programs of implementation of the concept of the connected personnel on industrial enterprises — it reacts to voice commands, even in a noisy situation. Thanks to the growing number of the wearable devices developed by partners corporate customers receive in the order solutions for instant access to necessary documentation and knowledge due to remote connection to experts and also visualization tools for industrial Internet of Things and solutions for creation of workflows on the basis of digital technologies. The companies in the area power engineering specialists, industrial production and automotive industry use wearable HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1 computers for expansion of the opportunities and connection of the personnel worldwide.

The wearable RealWear HMT-1Z1 computer on the Honeywell Movilizer platform

In May, 2018 Honeywell announced release of the wearable handsfree-device. In a series of intelligent wearable Honeywell Connected Plant Skills Insight devices the display attached to a headband managed by voice commands and displaying continuous data, documents, descriptions of working procedures and also information on the security regulation is used. Besides, using these devices the operative communication of workers with removed experts is provided.

In the solution the latest developments in the field of mobile handsfree-technologies, augmented reality, industrial Internet of Things and mobile access are applied. It includes the wearable RealWear HMT-1Z1 computer on the Honeywell Movilizer platform — the solution for optimization of workflows on the basis of cloud computing for support of operational transactions, especially in dangerous zones. This device allows to acquire valuable knowledge and skills in the course of work.

Main features of intelligent wearable devices of the Skills Insight series:

• Automation of tasks of the operator: issue of instructions on accomplishment of work assignments and procedures and also access to documentation for simplification of accomplishment of operational transactions.
• Visualization of continuous data: data access in real time using technologies of industrial Internet of Things.
• Record and video playback: training on site on demand by means of reproduction of the videos made by the experienced operators working on similar tasks with a search capability using voice commands.
• Communication with experts: operative video conference with removed experts who can see the same, as the worker and also to give advice, to send documents or to comment on video broadcasting.
• Localization, navigation and visualization of assets: determination of location of the worker in the territory of the enterprise, issue of instructions for movement on territories and data mapping according to solvable tasks.
• Fast evacuation in emergency: search of the workers who are in the territory of the enterprise and the direction them to the place of collecting for evacuation using functions of determination of location and navigation.
• Help in case of accidents: detection of accidents, determination of location of victims and information transfer to emergency crew for rendering a necessary assistance.

Digital technologies of Honeywell for production are a set of applications for increase in security, reliability, efficiency and profitability. The industry solutions checked in practice are based on long-term experience and knowledge in the field of management of industrial production. They transform data to valuable information which helps to optimize transactions, to predict failures in operation of the equipment and to prevent unplanned idle times. These solutions open access to new opportunities for continuous performance improvement of work.

Announcement of Connected Plant Skills Insight Immersive Competency

The Honeywell corporation in March, 2018 provided the simulator on the basis of a combination of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for training of production personnel in the major actions at production. Considering a trend of aging of the personnel and need of high-quality knowledge transfer to young specialists, Honeywell developed the system of professional training Connected Plant Skills Insight Immersive Competency. It is intended for the accelerated training of new production personnel due to transfer of learning process to modern technologies.

Thanks to a successful combination the mixed reality, modern methods of the information analysis and more than 25 years' experience of Honeywell in the field of professional training of personnel it was succeeded to create an interactive environment of in-plant training. In this solution it is applied holographic computer HoloLens from Microsoft and the headsets of the mixed reality Windows Mixed Reality allowing to simulate different scenarios of operation of the Honeywell C300 controller such as failure of the main controller and switching at failure, fault of a cable, failure of the power source. Simulation of these scenarios allows to train personnel and to check the purchased skills.

The solution of Honeywell simulating specific actions of the worker in virtual environments, access to which is provided through a cloud, provides for the trainee close to natural interaction and information exchange both with colleagues, and with the instructor. At the same time trainees as well as during the work on the aviaexercise machine, can in a safe situation study effects of the decisions made by them. According to corporation, such approach allows to increase by 100% efficiency of maintenance of skills in comparison with traditional training methods and reduces duration of technical training by 66%. In addition it is possible to watch learning process of employees within an official management system for professional training.
