Industry challenges – retaining knowledge

Retirement of a complete

generation

New generation:

The “PC generation”

Next generations:

The “Game generation”

There is no way to avoid a changing workforce and the differences in the technologies required

to train new generations

Realistic training environment

Process Industry

Control room operators

Field operator Specific process training

Realistic control panel


Page 7




Familiarization training:

Locate valves, pipes, equipment, instruments

Standard Operating Procedures (SOP):

Execute SOPs in the 3D VR model

3D virtual reality training


Page 8




HSE training:

Train how to respond in case of incidents

Collaborative training:

Multiple trainees / 1 instructor

3D virtual reality training


Page 9




Training on complete 3D model

Same 3D model for all training courses

Import SOPs to further automate training content

creation

Automatic conversion & update of

massive 3D models

Customer creates training content

Differentiation of the 3D VR training with COMOS Walkinside


Page 10




Train on HSE incidents in VR:

Avoid lost time & react correctly

Cost savings (e.g.):

Expensive onsite training, travel expenses

Reduced time to “first oil”

Ease-of-use for non-CAD experts:

Immediate focus on content, not on the tool itself

Customer benefits of ITS for owner operators

Instructors

• Participated during the 3D model validation

• Familiarization scenarios were developed by ITS

instructors no programming skill required!

Operators

• Replaced onsite visits and training in the shipyard

• Spent 5 weeks on the ITS training system as part of

their training

• Avg. 1 day to familiarize with the ITS software

Benefits

Operators were familiar with the FPSO when they went offshore for the first time.

They could immediately focus on their work to prepare the startup instead of losing time finding their way

around the FPSO.

The 3D model was used onboard the FPSO during startup phase, e.g. to locate valves.

Lessons Learnt

Change the philosophy!

• EPC delivers the 3D model during the

whole lifecycle of the project

• Operations teams are involved in the

project early before handover, to

identify problems already in the

design phases

Benefits of the 3D VR model

Conclusion

1.The 3D engineering CAD model has become an asset for owner-operators.

2.COMOS Walkinside can be used throughout the complete plant lifecycle by EPCs

and owner-operators.

3.COMOS Walkinside’s ease-of-use makes it suitable for use by non-CAD experts

such as project engineers, maintenance staff, field operators, etc.

4.The COMOS Walkinside ITS allows field personnel to be trained - contributing to

faster start-up of the new facility, safer operation and more efficient maintenance

interventions and shutdowns.
